Good Evening
So my mil was named mama by her eldest grandchild who is now 9. His sibling whom has just turned 2, has also followed suit in calling her this.
She calls herself mama to my dd (now 2.5) but dd doesn't call her nothing she calls all the family by names except her. (She doesn't really like her or my own mother for some reason)
She calls me mummy (thankfully) but used to call me mama.
DH has always told her to stop this as he doesn't think it sits right but the whole family are saying we are being unreasonable as it's "her name" for example, his brother will say to dd "go to mama" (meaning his mother) and dh will jump in and go "stop doing that, she's not her mama" which thankfully saves me the energy of being the "bad one"
DH says what he finds unreasonable is that he has talked to her about it but she has ignored him/us and continues to push for what she wants?
But I'm wondering if we are actually being unreasonable and maybe have just gone along with it?
