[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom goes by Gigi, and tells everyone who will listen it stands for Gorgeous Grandma. It could be worse, OP. That said, I don't love Mom-Mom, not b/c it's confusing but because I don't like the sound of it. 
Is she actually asking your opinion?[/quote]

OP here.  I wouldn't mind Gigi.  She said "what do you guys think?" in her email.

[b]For those saying it's not confusing...I'm thinking about a little kid learning to talk.  They're not going to be able to differentiate between Mama and Mom Mom.[/b]

And yeah, I want to be my kids only "Mom."  Call me petty but that's how I feel!  She already has two kids to call her Mom.

MIL is not a bitch and we have a fine relationship.  This will not cause years of drama so no worries.[/quote]

It's totally fine if you don't want her to use the name--your prerogative--but this was never an issue with us. I'm "mama," she's "mom-mom," and it's cool.

What WAS an issue was when DS started eating those MumMum wafers when he started solids. My mom thought it would be confusing, so she taught him that they were called "NumNums." But she didn't tell us she'd changed the name. Confused the hell out of us for WEEKS.  :lol: [/quote]
