To be pissed off that SIL calls DS with name and middle name and middle name

Especially as she also commented that the two names don't go well together! It's driving me insane! He's only 5 months old!
I'm staying at hers with DS and I'm seriously worried I might lash out tomorrow of she keeps doing it. I think she's just trying to wind me up!

I hear you, OP. my dad thought dd's middle name was silly, and used to call her by both to sort of make that point. It's annoying but all you can do is ignore really.

Where overseas? I some countires it's the norm to use all names. That could also be why shecommented on them not going together (thinking that they would be used together all of the time...)

I have a hyphenated name. Not Anne-Marie, but along those lines.

I only ever got called it when I was in trouble... Grin

I like "wit of a staircase" makes me think of "size of an elephant" in the 3 muscateers from the banana splits, but am now starting to sound old.
Suspect hugging her and telling her how much effort she is making will piss her off more and sounds fun. pretend you're acting.

The only time my daughter gets her full name is when shes about to be told off. She normally just gets her first name. Sometimes my mum says her first & middle but in an affectionate sweet way. If she did it all the time id b a bit fed up of it.
