To object to being called Tramp by a 10 year old?

[MuckyStudent]

My nephew began calling me tramp around 2 years ago, much to the ammusment of his mother. I ignored it assuming he'd get bored of it but he hasn't and now calls me it as if it's my actual name. It's got to the point were my sister tells him they're going to "Tramp's house" and he even wrote "auntie Tramp" in my Christmas card. Nobody bats an eyelid when he says it now. Earlier today I told my mother that the name is getting on my tits and I'm going to tell him to stop. She said I was being a drama queen and starting "something over nothing". My sister has since found out and has gone off in a massive strop over it.
Is it too much to ask that my nephew calls me by my name? (or at least a nicer nickname!?)

God no! I'd be fuming, how dare they let him call you by such a dergatory name! YOU should be the one having a strop, not your sister. I bet she would be upset if one of your children did the same to her

Derogatory even, typing too fast haha! x

Start referring to your sister as 'the slapper' and see how she likes it.

I think this is very rude indeed and your nephew should be told that you find it offensive.Your sister and your mother are being unkind both to you and to your nephew who is learning that is acceptable to call names which the recipient finds objectionable YANBU

Whats the reason behind it? sexual proclivity? attrocious dress sense? or you drink meths and sleep on a pavement?

you should have nailed it 2 years ago when he started it.

He heard me burp once

I would not stand for it, why did you ignore it so long?

It's one of those 'oh isn't DC being so cutie wootie pie calling you tramp' parent moments that annoy me. You should have addressed it sooner but so should his mother. I feel sorry for the boy but it's not on. YANBU to stop it but YABU for not doing it quicker.

You should start a new nickname for your sister and encourage your nephew to use it...

YANBU to want to stop it, hindsight is a wonderful thing. HOwever, I would explain that it is insulting and ultimately your nephew could think it is ok to call other people names as he grows up.

Your family sound like a delightful bunch...

He calls my mother Jupiter (as in arse like Jupiter) and just gets away with it.

Does Jupiter have an arse?

Call him Butwipe and send his family Christmas cards addressed accordingly.

I take it that he is a teenager? If not his mother probably taught him to call you Tramp.

Just start refering to the child as 'Damien' , he will have no idea what you are talking about , but i bet your sister will

no doubt you will be able to call him Asbo by the time he is 12...

This sounds quite difficult to believe, but perhaps I'm sheltered. I'm just not used to being in a family where anybody calls each other names, or brings up their children to think it's acceptable. Call me old-fashioned, but, as I say, hard to believe.

I'm sorry, but the 'Auntie Tramp' bit made me laugh,

all seriousness i'd be very annoyed, they sound like they have no manners, and id tell his mother to teach him some!

Start calling your sister Twat and called him something like dweeb or similar

See how they like it. Your sister is a twat for letting her boy do this

I agree....you can be Aunty Tramp and they can be Master Shittypants and BigShitter.

See how that goes down.

I'd call them something and see how funny they find then.

Was he told to call you it?

Call him Butwipe and send his family Christmas cards addressed accordingly.

Tears rolling down my eyes at this thread

Sorry OP, no advice, but your sister is a cow.

You are not being unreasonable. If they want to throw a strop then hopefully you'll see less of them. Don't put up with it any more.

Oh Dear...

It sounds as though your family are all a little bit in awe of your nephew's 'sparkling' wit, and your sister assumed that you'd be touched and thrilled to be given your own 'special' family nickname.

How old is he btw? If he's fairly young I'd be less annoyed as he presumably wouldn't have fully understood that what he was calling you was rude (although his mum should have pointed it out).

But for her to have a strop and your DM to call you a drama queen is incredibly rude and insensitive. I think you need to have a firm chat with your sister about your 'charming' nickname and leave it to her to explain things to your nephew. If she refuses, you might just have to gently point out to him that you'd rather he didn't call you that (to your face -I suspect you will be Auntie Tramp in their house forever...)

I'm with BOF on this one... hard to believe it's got this far.

Still, as that's the way your family operates, I'd defintely start calling them ScuzzySlapper & Little Shit... see how that goes down.
