annoying mother & mil

Hi . Just wanna rant here . I have a 4 years old son , and I've always been calling him " baby " . So even in public I'll go " baby come , let's go home " " baby , eat ok ? " And my mum and mil just came to tell me that I should stop . They said it's not good for his development if I always instill in him that he's still a baby . Any thoughts on this ? I'm so mad .

Doing it once in a while to show affection is ok. There's no rules saying you can't. Personally, I prefer to call all my kids by their first name. In school, teachers treat preschoolers like big boys and girls so calling them 'baby' might be a bit of a contradict when it comes to teaching/disciplining. You're his mother, only you know what's best. Regards to your mom/MIL, how about asking your hubby to call you 'baby' in front of them and see if that irks them further.🤣
