[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now might be the time to ask your DC what she REALLY thinks. If she doesn’t like it have her ask grandma. Please don’t call me that ! My name is Sarah. [/quote] I mean, this is not a terrible approach. But I also think we do our kids a service by teaching tolerance and an understanding that we can't control our environment and everything around us. There is no reason in this thread so far to think that grandma is anything other than a loving presence in the child's life who wants to bond with her. This use of a nickname is not malicious or manipulative or intended to cause any harm at all. In fact, quite the opposite. So why not just let it go?[/quote] Tolerance yes, but I wouldn’t teach my kids to be passive regarding their name. Silly nicknames should stop entirely. [/quote]
