Just wondering...my DH accuses me of being territorial of my family. My MIL always ends phone conversations with "I love you" and I never know how to respond. Thanks? I just say "love ya too" but it makes my skin crawl. She also leaves me phone messages like "Hey Lanie, it's mom...". I have one mother and she's the only one I'll call mom. I really think my MIL does it to form a bond with me and I know there's no harm, but I just can't help feeling weird about it.
Also, is it weird that I think it's weird to call my DH's step dad Grandpa? It's the name he wants our son to call him, but I feel a little weird calling him that when my DH calls him by his first name, not Dad. Again, my DH has one dad and one dad only. Am I a terrible person? He is a lovely "grandpa" to our son, don't get me wrong. Maybe I'm putting too much stock into my words.
