MIL prefers to be called Aunt

I would say she’s the auntie from this point forward. That’s weird for her to ask of you guys when she’s your MIL and most definitely wants the new baby to call with the grandma title but I wouldn’t give her that privilege

I would tell her she’s getting first name only at that point. Your other child should call her the same.

If she's an aunt to your child she's aunt to all the children. She will not be celebrated or acknowledged on mothers or grandparents day

My husband acknowledges her choice of words odd, but to be expected from her. He agrees if her preference is Aunt, then to let it go. He says it doesn't matter in the end as long as our kids call him dad. Thanks all

I hope she realizes that if your older child calls her aunt, your younger kids will definitely just copy them lol. She’s gonna be aunt to all of them.

What a strange woman

Wow. Yes. They will both call her the same thing. She makes her grave she can lie in it. And wow. It’s hard to understand the mentality. If I was her I would be excited to have bonus grandchild! I guess you can always introduce her as your husband’s mother if need be and if anyone asks about aunt status just answer for her it was a self chosen demotion!

Lol your MIL sounds like a mean old lady 😂 sounds just like my grandmother 🤣 just wait, she'll get crazier as the years pass

Lol I would just make it so awkward and be like "yes hi, this here is my husband's mom whose name is (insert name here) but likes to be called aunt becky" to anyone who I introduce her to. If she is going to be ridiculous then call her out publicly in front of everyone. It's the only way to stop these fools I swear. Embarrass the shit out of them, they will change their demeanor to just save face
