First, my father in law is a really good guy.  He's great to me, my wife, and my children.  What's driving me crazy is he refers to my sons  as honey, sweety, sugar,cutie pie, and other sissy names.  I'm fine with him using these names toward my daughter, I do to.  My skin crawls when I hear my sons referred to as some sissy name.  They shouldn't be called those names.  I told my wife how much I hated it and she basically blow up at me defending her dad saying he just loves his grandchildren and that they're still babies.  One is 4 the other is 1 but they both already have an AR and a M1 Garand each I'm not raising sissies.  Am I over reacting?

It would bother me too, but I wouldn't make anything out of it.

Eventually, the kids will get old enough that he will give them new names or they'll tell him to stop calling them that.

If you have to ask, the answer is usually yes.

In this case, the answer is true to that statement.

If this is worst the guy does to you, you're doing better than a lot of people out there.

Your wife should talk to her mother about your concerns; and her mother should talk to her husband about it.  Your father and law should respect your feelings.  If they don't then they don't respect  you.

Sometimes, you recognize that some things, while annoying, are harmless and you just let it slide.

If your sons are younger, say about 5, 6 or 7, no big deal.  If they are 15, 16 or 17, maybe then.  If it's in private no big deal, at McDs, a little different.  I have nicknames for my grandchildren.  If that's as bad as he gets, no big deal.
