[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop with your passive-aggressive way of handling it. Send her a text that says “My daughter’s name is actually spelled this way.”[/quote]

This isn't fair. I take ownership that I haven't addressed it with her/brought it up/corrected her, but I have NOT been passive aggessive about it. I have not written to her or communicated with her in a way any different than I do with any of our other friends. [/quote]
If you are sending her texts with your daughter’s name in them, and part of you expects she will predictably reply with the misspelling, and then you predictably get annoyed (all of which you describe in your OP), and this keeps happening, and you keep not saying anything to her but instead just continue on with the cycle of becoming annoyed—yeah, that’s actually the definition of passive aggressive. You’re not handling it directly. You’re expecting her to change her behavior based on a passive action of yours (sending her texts mentioning your daughter.)

It’s not a big deal— next time she does it, just tell her! The name is probably in her phone dictionary with that spelling and is automatically inserted into her texts. But if you keep getting upset and don’t say anything, it’s on you.
