[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not just call her Big Mama instead[/quote]

Or Old Mama. Or Big Old Mama. [/quote]

And then she can call OP, Whiney Insecure Brat.

Where does it stop???  This is not a big deal.  Let it go.  Jeez.  There are worse things that could happen then a MIL who has expressed a preference for a name that is pretty commonplace outside of the small, entitled world of DCUM.

If this is getting OP's fire going now, just wait until she gets into Labor & Delivery and experiences there the host of indignities childbirth brings on.  The bottom line is that it is more important for the child to have a lot of warm, loving people around him/her.  Sounds like the MIL wants to be involved.  Let her be called what she wants.

Chances are the kid will call her something different anyway.  Just ask my Dad who was dying to be called "Granddad" and he is called "Pop".  My mom won't let that one down.  She calls him "Soda", which confused the heck out of the kids for the longest time.  Just a little mid-west humor, folks!

Get over your fine self, OP, and build a thicker skin.  Your kid is counting on you to be more concerned about his/her best interests than yours.[/quote]

And by way of explanation, we DID do our very best to try to get the kids to call him "Granddad" because it was the name he really wanted.  But one day I read our first one "Hop on Pop" and it happened to be the day after "Granddad" had babysat.  My Mom said they were rough-housing in the living room with our little girl "falling" onto my Dad who was lying on the floor.  They had a blast.  Then I read the dang Dr. Seuss book to her the next day and it was all over.  He was "Pop" from that day forward.  Sigh.[/quote]
