mil wants my son to call her mama now after hearing him call me mama🫠

Should of stepped in with a baby voice saying "no silly woman that's not Mami that's Nani, can you say nani?"

Don’t let her do that

oh nah she knows what she’s doing

You def need to nip that in the bud real quick . You are mama and she needs to understand that . Even if you don't want to say it yourself then you should tell your SO how that makes you feel and for them to say something

Oh absolutely not, not respectful or cute in the slightest I would’ve immediately shot that down. She is NOT his mother that would’ve had me so mad.

@Vanessa SO told her something the next time he saw her, next time she says something i’ll definitely tell her something

Hell Nah. 😬🙂

That’s super weird she would want to be called mama. That’s your title, your name, not hers. I’m glad he said something!

Ooh good I'm glad ! Yeah if she doesn't again I'd just be like "I'm sorry but don't feel comfortable with my child calling you mama, nana is perfectly fine and appropriate " . That's so wild to that she thinks that's ok

I promise you, don’t allow that. I went through the same thing but with my mom and even though I expressed that I did not like that, to her face-to-face. She continued to do it until I had to come out of character. My daughter kept calling my mom “mama” and my mom would always respond….long story short. Don’t allow it and she may even tell you, “oh he knows who his real mama is”, it doesn’t matter what she THINK he knows, he doesn’t need to be confused like that. I don’t understand why Grandmas are so damn weird but I really think that is weird and VERY inconsiderate.

@Diani yeah she’s a real bitch so sometimes i’m scared to say something and tell my SO to say something, i’m waiting for the day to cut her off

When it comes to the boundaries of your kid sometimes you just have to be one back .

Nope. If it was my kid, she wouldn't be allowed around them again until they turned 18. If she wants to be called Mama so bad, she can either go get pregnant or adopt a child.

@Sarah what i plan on doing soon, my grandson is basically her makeup child in her eyes since she didn’t raise my SO at all until he was 8/9

@Francesca i feel like a happy valentine’s day is nice also to tell ppl in general but just everything else she does makes it so weird to me idk 😩

She is mama to her son not your son and she needs to understand that.

Stand up for yourself.

Yep! My Mil wants to be called maw maw and told me a story about how her grandchildrens first words were mama and they called her mama and she didn't tell her daughters and I was like immediately no.

Crazy 🐄

If my MIL tried this, I'd throw hands. Like I'm sorry, did you birth the child and carry them for 9 months? I think the absolute fuckity fuck not bitch!

@Diani yeah my mum went loopy as well when she saw my daughter, she even said something like she would give her breast to comfort her if I am not around. She said that in a joking way but since that day she hasnt been alone with her. Why the fuck would you say that? What makes you entitled to put your boob in my childs mouth, because she is breastfed? My MIL is obsessed with giving her a bottle or put her finger in her mouth. This is very strange. They wont baby sit my child until she can report back everything to me.

@Jess I agree because that is too much and too weird

@Angel I can understand memaw or mema or meme because that's what my mom goes by when the grandkids were little. Now they all call her grandma as they have gotten older, my son says meme or grandma now..but maw maw is crazy. If she is adding that little W at the end to make it not look like it's still mama then wow.

absolutely not, no ma’am. You’re the momma not anyone else. If my mother in law ever tried that shit she’d get corrected immediately
