Just venting, am I annoyed for no reason? Would you be annoyed?

So my MIL goes by Maw Maw and my baby just recently (days ago) started saying mama after 11 longggggg months of me waiting (and practicing with her lol)and everyone knows I’ve been waiting for her to say it. Well we go over to my MIL she’s so excited to tell me that my baby is saying Mama and that she’s not sure if she’s saying mama like mommy or saying maw maw like her name but that her and others think she’s saying maw maw and she’s so excited about it. I just laughed it off since we have a great relationship but internally I’m annoyed about it I feel totally disregarded. I told my hubby and he said “what!? She’s tripping, way to steal your moment” would you be annoyed?

Show your support

I understand why you would be annoyed. Me personally I would have said "yes she has been saying it for a few days bc i practice with her on mama" you to take the moment back.

I would be so annoyed.. I had that same thing to happen to me with my 1st born 😩 She continued to direct him to “Mamaw” instead of “mama” for months until he wouldn’t even try for just mama (he didn’t even end up saying “mama” again).. I had to change myself to mommy or mom before he would say it again and that wasn’t til almost 2!!

Good point Ashley I probably should’ve said something like that!! I did answer my baby every time she said mama hopefully it clicked for her. And omg Katie! I’m so sorry! I don’t understand they’ve had their moment already why take ours 😫

I would be furious. My mom suggested that name for herself and I shut it down real quick. "I am mama, you are not." I would change her grandma name if you can. Call her grandma or Nana when you're not around her.

I don’t have an experience, but my baby also started saying mamama only recently! But I don’t think they know what they are saying at this age, I think they are just practicing different sounds. So when my baby says mama, I don’t think it’s directed at me in any way. But it does make me happy that he’s saying that and I can see how your situation is upsetting.

New development apparently she actually goes by “mama” all the grandkids say it I just assumed they meant maw maw because there’s no way they call her “mama” well I was wrong 😂.

Make yours call her mee maw

Lol that’s ridiculous I’m sorry. You shouldn’t have to change the way it baby calls u bc of maw maw 🤣
