I’m a 19 ftm and I wanna know if this would make anyone else uncomfortable or not, so my son is 4 months old and while I was pregnant my husband’s step mom chose to call herself g-mama and she thinks the world revolves around her. My husbands dad goes by toot which is fine and it’s kinda funny, plus it’s his childhood nickname. However I never liked the name she chose and knowing her, when my son starts to say mama she will freak out and be like “oh my god he said my name!” Even if he’s just trying to figure out mama and dada. And she just wants to be called mama again. The name makes me and my husband uncomfortable. Would it make any of yall uncomfortable??

Yes that’s beyond weird… I would suggest setting that boundary now before he can speak. You both should tell her it makes you guys uncomfortable and she can be called grandma or g-ma. Anything but mama really. Don’t let her try and steal your moment when he does finally start saying words

Just straight up tell her she needs to pick another nickname that should be 1) easy for a baby to say 2) unique. Not too close to mama or dada to toot or whatever

My mom had the nickname is Mimi. It's close to mama but he isn't confused between us. Maybe give her other options for Grandma names.

I voted wrong not comfortable
