[quote=Anonymous]MB here. It is probably just a thing she does with everyone, but it would bother me also. I have a name that people turn into all kinds of nicknames that I loathe. I try to be assertive and tell them that I use X, not nicknames, but there are some who don't respect it. So I have gotten really good at not responding when someone fails to use my name. When they have to try 2 or 3 times to get my attention I say something like "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were talking to me. I don't ever use that nickname." Maybe you could try a variation on that. "Oh, I'm sorry - I thought when you said sweetie you were talking to the kids." Maybe she'd get the hint. You could also try just saying "Would you mind calling me by my name. I always think you must be talking to someone else when you're using endearments."[/quote]
