I (m33) have a daughter (15). I like many parents have different nicknames for my daughter, one being Princess. I have called my daughter Princess since she was a baby and still call her that even as a teenager.

My sister (f35) has a 3 month old daughter. She was over at my apartment yesterday and said she needed to ask me something. She said she would like for me to stop calling my daughter Princess because she and her husband want to call their daughter Princess. I asked why they can’t both have the nickname, she said it would be awkward if we were somewhere together and both girls got referred to as Princess. I said I’m not going to stop calling my daughter a nickname I’ve always called her unless my daughter herself wants me to stop.

My sister said my daughter is too old for the nickname Princess anyway and I have several other nicknames for her so it shouldn’t Matter. I’m just choosing to gatekeep and Be an AH, which I’m not stopping my sister from using it I’m just refusing to stop calling my daughter that nickname. My mom took my sister’s side agreeing that my daughter is too old for the nickname.
