so i saw my MIL today...

and she called z joey twice. LOL

i just looked at james and was like, 'you're kidding me right?!'

i basically ignored her the rest of the day. 

we went up to brooklyn to see his grandparents and his 87 year old grandmother who has alzheimers remembered her name the entire time. go figure.

i pretty much told him exactly how i feel :P it took every ounce of my being not to lose it on her.

Re: so i saw my MIL today...

  • Did you correct her when she called her Joey?  What does James think about it?
  • She is completely unreal, I just can't believe her! Sorry you have to deal with her :(

  • he actually looked at me, shook his head and laughed. someone walked in and asked what her name was when she said it.  we were feeding her yogurt so we were on the other side of the table.  we both looked up and said, 'it's actually zoey. with a z.'  i'm not quite sure what she did after that b/c we went back to feeding z and looking at eachother like wtf?!

     when we got home i asked him she really thinks that's her name. i guess he thought i was joking b/c he didn't answer me. i was actually being quite serious.

    i mean, i knew up until the easter card that she knew her correct name. i don't know when or why she thinks it's with a j now. 

    i don't know. people are strange.  i honestly didn't say anything to her unless she asked me a question and even then i only gave her one word answers.  it was very clear that i was not happy with her but who know if she even caught on.  she's so oblivious, so probably not.

  • That is so insane to me! Sounds like you handled it well though even though I know you were fuming inside.
  • my moms family calls me Julie-Ann they always forget the A at the end and it drives my mom and i crazy! I would say something before Zoey is 26 and still gets Joey!

  • That is nuts! And sounds so frustrating!! I agree with Pooks. Sounds like you handled it well. I can't wrap my head around why she suddenly feels the need to call her Joey. I mean, I just don't get it. Like, really??

  • Wow. I would have wanted to look right at her and say her name is Zoey, not Joey. Call her the right name. I have a feeling if it continues we will be reading a post title I told my MIL off today.
