Sorry it's a MIL one, just need to get it off my chest really.
I know this is minor & many people have it much worse but I'm so fed up of being referred to as "mummy" by MIL, I know it's normal when talking to ds but this is how she addresses me all the time (when asking me for something, responding to something I've said, when it is just is & no dc not around) she never uses my actual name. The last time she used my name was pre dc & when I was pg she referred to me as "the brood mare" (seriously).
Also whenever she is here (couple times a week) & something needs doing, dc need something it's "mummy will do it/get it", dh will sit doing nothing/talking to MIL. Obviously I look after DC needs etc it's the assumption that it is my responsibility because I am "mummy". If we have run out of something or are running low on stuff I get "mummy needs to get more , mummy needs to make sure there is always some of xxx in the house". She seems to think because dh works (as do I, she knows this) that everything falls to me.
She is nice & means well but she is driving me batty at the moment!
