mother in law grrr

I've been with my husband for over six years (married for two) and my mother in law has always tried to undermine and test my patience as she finds it hard to let her son go.

Well today's wind up is she wants to be called "mams" by the baby when she's born. Just because it's the closest thing she can get to being called mum or mummy to annoy me.

She is so annoying!!  Why always try and wind me up!?  

My mum is being called "nanny" because my nephew already calls her that so easier to keep that and first she said I want to be called nanny and is said well my mum is nanny so you'll have to think of something else and I'm sure she's spending all her time trying to find something to annoy me and yep she's done it. I'm not being called mum and her mams grrr
