My (Mississippi) grandmother always called me her grandbaby, even when I was 15. I hated it, now I just miss her...

It could be worse. A reality TV grandma calls hers "glambaby."

Do you mean your MIL doesn't refer to him by his name?

"Hey, grandbaby, let's go to the playground". Is that what you mean?

I am from rural Virginia. "Grandbaby" is commonly used.

Yup, you are being petty. Keep it in perspective. If your MIL is loving, warm, happy, engaged, helpful and involved - without being a complete witch like some of these MILs, be grateful, seriously.

1. West Virginia is not the south.
2. Your child is her grand baby.

This is not a big deal. As he gets older and more verbal she will start using his real name. As long as she doesn't refer to him as her baby, you're fine.
