She refers to everyone else by there terms, ex: “come to grandma”, “there’s your grandpa”, “whats your daddy doing”, etc. The last couple visits i am referred to as “that girl” or “that one”. It’s always “theres that girl/one you like”. The last time i told my husband it needs to be addressed. So when MIL said “yup, theres that one you like”, husband paused and i looked at my LO and said “yes, thats because im your Mama, right” and husband then said “thats Mama”. For the next visit, if she didn’t take the hint and it continues, what else can i say? I dont want to stoop to her level, YET. I want to try to address it politely again first and then can crack down if needed. Advice pleaseee!

” I dont want to stoop to her level, YET.”
Oh man, that’s too bad, doing the same back to get would be hilarious.
Why not just ask her? “MIL, why did you just call me “that girl”/”that person”?” Make her think about what she’s doing. It’s weird.
