To be getting a bit fed up with MIL NNing our DD (who's 2) Miss Cellulite?

[HappyHourFriday]

honestly, not even sure where to vent about this. DD was a preemie, she had that wrinkly little skin all over, MIL used to call it cellulite anyway, we were going through old baby pics and she mentioned how she had forgotten about the cellulite and has now developed the need to call her Miss Cellulite! Honestly, how do I stop this? Or am I overreacting?

I'm pregnant with second child so may be pregnancy hormones

I don't see what this could possibly be for other than to wind you up. Ignore. Completely.

[DelicatePreciousThing1]

Tell her you don't like it.

[DerekSprechenZeDick]

Pick up something about her and call
Her Mrs Shit for brains or something

Or tell her you don't like it and why

[DelicatePreciousThing1]

Or start calling her something unflattering line Mrs Piggy. Ha

[hazeimcgee]

I would tell her directly that the name is mean and nasty. If she honestly cannot be nice to her, she has no need to see her

[Salmotrutta]

Tell her you don't like it.

Say "That's not very nice, I'd rather you didn't say that" then look her in the eye.

OR - before she says it again say "I really didn't like it when you called DD that name"

What does your DH say when she does this?

[Tootsiepops]

Not on. Tell her immediately to do one.

[Allalonenow]

It's really nasty I think, and hurtful to you.

Next time you see her tell her immediately that you will not tolerate her calling your DD that name.
If she uses it again, leave or tell her to leave, whichever is appropriate, and tell her why, but don't discuss it any more at that time.
Once she has apologized you can establish visits again.

Mrs Shit for brains

[PovertyPain]

She needs to stop that before it becomes your daughter's 'nickname'. If she doesn't then your dd will pick up on as she gets older. Girls already grow up with pressure put on them about their appearances and that nickname could be extremely detrimental to your dds feelings of self worth.

She's probably just being affectionate - my daughter was miss piggy when she first started solids, no harm intended or caused.
Just politely tell her that you don't like it and I'm sure she'll stop.

[Tiggywinkler]

Tell her that if she doesn't realize why that's utterly inappropriate, you'll be restricting access until she's educated herself on the matter.

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

Tell her straight, serious face, no messing.
It's nasty and cruel to pick on a physical attribute.

My FIL used to call my DS by a version of his name (like if his name was "Tim" he called him "Timmy" )
I just said over and over "Tim" "His name is Tim" until he got it,

He did it to piss me off but I really CBA with gritting my teeth to dust.

[AlpacaLypse]

Not funny or clever.

Have you tried 'she obviously inherited it from you?' Not that that remark will get anyone anywhere further or forward, just might make you feel a little bit happier

[MindSweeper]

You stop this by doing the 'what the FUCK' face and saying 'why would you even call your own granddaughter that'. Preferably in front of people. Shame her.

[ZacharyQuack]

Start calling her Jowlia
