'Grandad' Isn’t Really Grandad—Is It Just Me? 🤔

So here’s my dilemma: my mother-in-law’s new partner entered our lives when I was already pregnant. Now, my little one is being nudged to call him ‘Grandad.’ Don’t get me wrong, he’s a nice guy and tries to be involved, but it feels forced—like we’re putting on a show for the family rather than building a real bond. He doesn’t know my child’s birthday and only visits about once a month. It’s awkward, especially since we were asked if we’d be okay with the title, and we said it didn’t feel right. Now, it seems like everyone’s pretending this is normal, but I can’t shake the discomfort. Is it unreasonable to want a different name, or am I just overthinking? Have you ever felt pressured to play along with family titles that don’t fit? I’d love to hear your stories or advice—sometimes I wonder if I’m the only one who feels this way. 🫠 #FamilyDynamics #InLawIssues #ParentingConfessions #FamilyRelationships
