I’d be livid. She is NOT her mother. I gave birth to my daughter, I am her MOTHER. Her grandmother had her chance being a parent now needs to stay in her grandparent role.
Yeah I'd be very pissed, granny needs to be put in her place.
Yeah granny needs to take a step back. I'd have your partner put her in her place to start with as it's always better coming from their own. But that sort of comment is totally unacceptable.
Sorry that thats happening! I totally understand the frustration!!! I would first ask my kid a bit more questions and then playfully explain: Your grandmother is a mom, and she is the mom of your papa/mama. As she is already the mom of one of us, she cannot also be your mommy. At the same time you do have 2 grandmoms and grand dads. One from mommys side and one from daddys side. Also with the conversation with the grandmom who possibly told your kid 'mom' instead of grandmom, I would more speak to her out of curiousity. Because somehow it feels for me that its more a misunderstanding from the 4yo. So just asking the grandmom from dads side to explain what she told your kiddo. If she indeed is saying she told that she was HER mom, then confront her how you feel. At the same time again, if she said 'I am the mom of your dad so I am also a mommy', kids might interpret that as oh I have 2 mommys. So wouldnt come to conclusions too quickly 😉 Any way best of luck!! ❤️
I grew up with my mom and my grandma. My mom was a single mom and my grandparents watched me when she was at work. I used to call my grandma my “big mom” bc she was older and called my mom mom. I loved having both their love and support
I'd feel the exact same. If any of my baby's grandmas tried to say they're my babies mum i'd be so so angry and wouldn't be able to hold my own tongue
