[quote=Anonymous]I called my nephews "our baby" and my family did the same with our girls. I think this is more about her ACTING like he's "her" baby than calling him hers, which he is....technically.....her grandson, and so he is her baby....she's not his Mother, but definitely regarding the baby of your baby it is not exactly an odd thing to say. That said, she needs to know her boundaries. My Mom's boundaries with my kids are different than with my sister's children. She's practically another Parent to them. With my kids, she's their Grandmother. It's strange to her, but she's gotten used to it. I am very close with my Mother, though, and am able to talk to her (she does call them her babies, which doesn't even remotely bother me, as it wouldn't if my MIL did it, although I don't know that she ever did, actually). It's weird when it's your MIL because you are not saying so many things and you're focusing on that one phrase because you're annoyed in general. You need to talk to your husband about it and have him set some space.[/quote]
