Hi there
I dont know if this is a normal thing that most new parents have to deal with or if its something which is abit wierd, but either way I'm having problems dealing withit and would like to hear other peoples thoughts on the subject. It's getting to the stage where I hate visiting my parents because of it.Any advice would be fantastic.
I'm rather new to being a parent, my 1 and only child is 2 years old. Ive spoken to alot of my friends and they all say the same thing, my parents will always try and take over because they know best having done it before.
My problem is my parents constently, and I mean like all the time refer to themselves as mummy and daddy and to me and my partner as nanny and grandad. Its like all the time. My little girl seems to know who's who, and dosent really seem to be affected by it, although there has been the odd occasion where she's been alittle confused.
I've spoken to my parents about it, and apart from causing arguements and ill fealing, they deny doing it and tell me im wrong, now and then they'll tell me its hard when you've had kids of your own its hard to get used to. The fact that my little girl is now 2 years old i feal they've had plenty of time to get used to it.
I cant understand how this can be, I mean if its not your child, how can this mistake be made. From the people I've spoken to, none of them have ever encounterd this.
It's getting really hard for me to deal with now and I just dont know what to do or say. Is it me just being silly, has anybody else had to deal with this. are they still going to be calling themselves mummy and daddy when shes 16?
Id love to hear anybodys thoughts or experiances on this matter. Thanks alot for listening.
