Bleeping mother 😡

My youngest is called Cassia. It's not hard. My 4 year old calls her Cass or Cassie. Fine. My flipping mother says she cant do "exotic foreign names" and calls her Candy which I HATE! I've spoken to her about it a billion times (probably an exaggeration but not by much) She laughs it off. I'm scared it will stick. My dh says he will start calling her Jelly if she carries on and she tells him not to be so disrespectful 😣 Any advice apart from the very tempting gaffer tape over the mouth solution?

Holy shit that would annoy me. Tell her if she persists, the DC will be calling her some ridiculous name. The more obnoxious the better.

If she does it again, tell her you are very concerned about her memory loss and think it should be reported to her doctor. Mutter something to your DH in an aside about "senile dementia and care homes". That should straighten her up.

Cassia isn't difficult to pronounce. You mum has got s bee in her bonnet for some reason and is being deliberately difficult. Tell her if she can't be bothered to call your child by her name, she won't be seeing her in future and therefore this will no longer be a problem.

Beautiful name by the way!!

Urgh. That would drive me mad. Tell her again and when she laughs tell her it’s not funny and you feel hurt that she can’t call your daughter by her name. It’s so rude
