Hi, I have a question more for people who knows polish culture, my husband is polish, and my husband's mother start calling my 8 month old son as her son and was saying to her husband : look at your son he looking at you now ( pointing on his grandson ), my husband saying that it is how they sometimes call in his side of Poland, he is from Rybnik.
I had before issues with them, which I though we sorted out.
Pre-story - my husband's parents unfortunately lost them son over 2 years ago, he was all life disable and more in child mind, me and my husbund decided give his brothers nickname ( not full name ) as middle name to our son.
Problems started when my husband's parents seen as everything doing my son is doing how was doing them son ( we sorted that don't saying that anymore ). Another problem was my husband's father was calling my son as his ( he stopped doing that ) and one more problem was my husband's mother was calling my son - her sons name ( not short cut - full name ), and telling other people trough phone that we call him - his first name like it is and middle name - like her full son name. - she stopped doing that as well.
But once I notice when I left room with her, my son and my husband - she called her grandson as my son - moj sinulla ( which don't think so even coming from polish,more likely from Russian ). And now when last time I saw them she said to her husband look your son looking at you ( tvoj sinka ). And when I was going make bath for my son I heard again that she was saying about son to my son ( sinku ).
So, I just want know or I am wright about that is wrong, and do something for that.
P.s my husband's father call himself only once as my sons father, but I don't took that as something special, because he was that person who always feed his son and now he was feeding for first time my son. And they both calling themself as grandparents and me and my husband as mum and dad, only they never call my son as them grandson.
So I am confused how to act..
I never was liking my husband's parents, but I really want to my son know his grandparents and make him self opinion about them, I don't want to he see that I don't like them, I would be happy if he would love them, I want to he have more love inside him then me.
