"I even made her a jumper with the letters 'magical bird' on it cause I think it's adorable."

"My little girl also recognises her real name, but I often call her magical bird or little bird, which she enjoys."

The annoyed woman went on to explain how she was dropping off a birthday present for her friend when she learned she had a new dog.

She continued: "She was like, 'awwwww, my little bird does this, awwwww, the magical bird does that.'"

I was confused shortly until I got that she referred to her new dog."

And tbh it REALLY angered me. Not sure if I am overreacting, but I am pretty sure I would find this s***** if it came from anyone else, too."

But rather thinking it was just an unfortunate coincidence, the woman continued: "I think I know why she did it. She wanted to get under my skin and I am sure she had malicious intent."

It wasn't long before the comments section was flooded with messages from social forum users - with many agreeing the woman has a right to be annoyed.

"You’re not overreacting. I say you name your next dog after JNMIL. Send out a 'birth announcement' or 'welcome to our family' photo cards and post all over social media for her to see," suggested one. "Petty is as petty does."

A second commented: "No you're not overreacting. I think she trying to show you she's 'replaced' her granddaughter with her new dog."

It's definitely pretty revenge because she pretty much never sees your daughter."

A third quipped: "Get a dog, name it grandma. That way you can yell at the dog and say “grandma quit humping the couch.“

Meanwhile, another added: "It was definitely done on purpose and good on you for not reacting to it!"

Pretend like you don’t even notice. If it ever comes up I’m not sure what you could say, but I would make it more about how odd it is to name an animal after your grandkids. Not that you’re upset, but that she is odd."

A further penned: "It was totally done on purpose! I would be livid! You got nerves of steel to be able to not react."

Let her enjoy her little bird as she deprived herself of the company of a REAL little bird."
