[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm on your side. If say I liked that nickname, I'd be fine with it, but I don't like it, in this case. It'd be more tolerable if it was a name I was fine with.[/quote]

But the relationship between a child and his grandparent is not your own. As you said you don't like the name but its not your name to like. Its a term of endearment between her and her grandchild. She isn't abusing him.

The only reason a person would live and die on this hill is if they didn't like their MIL and wanted to exert control over the MILs relationship with the child. Which says way more about the mother than the grandmother.[/quote]

This is the world's most stupid argument - the relationship is between the grandparent and the child, so OP cannot say anything? [/quote]

Yes, [i]that [/i]is the world's most stupid argument.  :roll:

I feel bad for you.[/quote]

You are right.  I exaggerated.  Allow me to correct myself.

Your point is stupid. Just because it is a grandparent relationship, this does not mean the wishes and instincts of the parent are irrelevant, and it doesn't mean the OP is trying to "exert control" over the relationship.  She doesn't like her daughter being called a pig when she is eating.  [/quote]

First it wasn't *my* point. Second its the OPs son. Third the point was if this was abuse then yes the OP has an argument. This is a grandparent/grandchild relationship and an innocent one at that. The only reason someone would "live and die" on such an insignificant issue is if they have underlying issues with their MIL and want to exert control over them.

Simple, not stupid.[/quote]
