calling her self mama

@Ashli he always says he will but never does
Have you tried saying something to her yourself? Next time she does it just be persistent with calling yourself momma or mommy infront of them… how strange
Girl that is genuinely weird as hell & would make me VIOLENTLY uncomfortable. I would refer to her loudly & clearly in front of her as “mawmaw” “grandma” or whatever term yall want the kiddos to use when referring to her. & if I heard her saying it in front of me i would just politely say “hey please don’t call yourself that to him i really don’t want him getting confused.” It doesn’t need to be a whole conversation.
I would also get on my husbands behind RQ if i asked him to address it and he didn’t.
That's weird and I'd say something. My mil kept referring to my son as "my baby" as in hers and we got tired of telling her to knock it off so we started yelling at her over it. I'm not ok with being around them right now because of things that happened during my pregnancy and after he was born
You can do a couple things. 1. You can be passive in when you have your daughter call yourself mama to her and when you are around your MIL, give her a name lets say Nana. Oh here is NANA and just be EXTREMELY consistent with it everytime she is in the room with your daughter. 2. You can be frank with her. Tell her, I know due to the situation with step son you were able to refer yourself as mama to him, however with MY daughter I am not comfortable with this amd will need you to pick another name tobe refered as. I need my daughter calling me and understanding I am her mother and that you are her grandmother. You need to refer to me as mama with her and yourself as another name such as Nana or another name meaning grandmother. And if sje gives push back you need your Husband to step in and have your back. He needs to let his mom know she is being disrepectful to his wife and is not behavior you all will tolerate.
That’s tough! Have you considered correcting her by simply it by simply saying Memaw (Her Name). You can refer to yourself as mama and the MIL with a form of grandma and her name.
I would be very straight and clear here. "I am mom for **daughter's name** and you are grandma (or whatever name she has)". If she doesn't respect that, you say it again. If she keep doing it, I would go low contact.
that is strange! can your husband say something to her?
