[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Regardless of what YOU think of it, OP, you should teach your son to address or refer to his grandmother as she wants to be addressed or referred to when he is in her presence. That is the polite thing to do. You want to train your son to be polite and respectful of his elders, right!?![/quote]

No, I don't agree that it is the polite thing to do.  If my son's grandmother asked for him not to do something generally considered rude in our society, like calling a grandparent by their first name, sure, I would expect and tell him not to.  If she expected to be called something not generally considered necessary for good manners in our culture, like "her royal highness," I would not expect or tell him to.[/quote]

Way to take it to the extreme.  Well done!

You do realize that she isn't asking to be called "her royal highness", right!?!  She is asking for her grandchild to be grammatically correct when addressing her.  Why on earth would you oppose that?

People like you are actually more of the problem than people like OP's mom because people like you think that it is okay to make things up and then want everyone else to dance on your dime.  Sheesh.[/quote]
