[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would tell the kid that "Ted" was (whatever part of your ethnicity's mother tongue) for "sweetie pie". You're welcome.[/quote] This. It allows the child to still believe grandma is not a b!tch, (it's really none of his business at this age) while also not taking the bait to let Grandma get to you. But I also think Theo should call her Grandma Ted to return the favour. Then you end up with two options- 1 If she expresses that it bothers her, do some handholding and encourage her to share her feelings on why. Then bring it full circle and ask her why she wants Theo to feel that way? (I wouldn't bother with this option- I think it's obvious why) 2 Refuse to acknowledge her dislike for her name, like she does with his dislike. Use the same reactions/verbiage she uses when she defends her behaviour. Either way, fun for the family.[/quote] Yep. I would completely go full on Grandma Ted. Practice with Theo and everything.
