Mother-In-Law

Dear Wynne,
My in-laws have been bugging me lately. My mother-in-law insists that she is called Grandmother. My two-year old calls her Nana because he can't quite get Grandmother fully out. He is two. But my mother-in-law acts all offended and has left the room on occasion. What should I do? My mother-in-law wants a good relationship with my son, but can't stand what he calls her.

Dear Annoyed,
Perhaps you should say something like, "Either accept what he calls you or have no relationship with your grandson. The choice is yours. I don't choose what he says any more than I can influence the crap spewing from your mouth." That won't start a family war or anything.
