How many times can she call herself mommy before I flip out? - Page 3

Very weird, creepy and not okay. Probably confusing for your babe (if not now definitley in future). Needs to stop. Sorry you have to live there =(. We stayed with my ILs for 5 weeks last summer and it was literally the worst period of my adult life. It was awful for dh too. It completely obliterated any patience I had left for ILs quirks. So if there is any other option for you, please take it. Good luck mamma

I tried to skim to see if this is addressed but didn't see it... OP have you simply asked your MIL why she keeps using mommy when she's grandma, and said that if it was once in awhile it would be no big deal but over and over again makes you really wonder what's going on in her mind?

That's a basic question that I'd really hope OP or your DH could/would ask, because for me honesty is always a starting point for trying to figure out what else may need to happen.

Yes I know she's P/A, cries at the drop of a hat, etc etc. But you're parents now, and you might as well start modeling what you'd hope your child would do as they grow older to have the kind of life and relationships that make them happy. Do you want your child to feel comfy addressing things that make her uncomfortable or being able to walk away if a solution can't be worked out? It's never too early to start modeling problem solving, cuz your kids will see how you do or don't handle stressful situations and learn a lot of lessons from that.
