To be annoyed with in-laws

[BristolianChick]

I want to be called mummy by my DS, I've always called myself this to him and so has my DH and my family (unfortunately we don't get to see my family much as they live so far away)

My in laws call me mam to my DS and my DH has corrected them loads of times but they still do it. (We see them at least once a week so pretty regularly)

They got to chose what they're called (Nanan / Grandma / Granny etc) so why should they decide what me THE MOTHER gets to be called too?

DS is turned 3 last week and now calls me mam. I hate it and I am very cross about it.

I've said to DH that if they persist with this then I'm gonna start calling them grandma and grandad (they wanted to be Nanan and pops ) to which DH says IABU and he will continue to correct them which clearly hasn't worked so far. AIBU?

I'm from Yorkshire and don't know anyone who calls their mother "mam", I would see it as more of a geordie or Irish thing. I wouldn't like it personally from my DC and my DM would have had a fit if I'd referred to her as mam! She can be a bit snobby and would find it common.
I think you need to speak to your PIL or get your DH to do it, they should respect you as a mother and refer to you as you choose in front of your child. If they persist in ignoring you, don't bother going round there.

Mmm my sil and grandma refer to me as my dd's mam and mammy but if she says it I just don't respond. In our case it's totally regional and I refer to dnephew's mam as "mummy"

I'm more miffed she keeps calling me by my Christian name 😂🙊

For the record, I recommend Alan Bennett's biographical audio books
about his Mam and Dad.

YABU. It's just not something to get worked up about.
