I believe that it takes a village ... If someone embraces my babe, I think it's amazing. When my parents and ILs say it, I find it really sweet.
-
What bothers me about it is I start to feel a bit like a second class citizen when it comes from the grandparents because technically 'my baby' is me or DH but I do understand the place it is coming from and gave up being actually annoyed by it a long time ago.

Not at all, I find it sweet!

It bothers me, but I'm possessive over my kids and I realize that.
What really bugs me is MIL taking credit for things they accomplish. She does it with my dogs, too.

I can't say. I know it is irrational to be bothered by that, but in reality I think I will be annoyed if someone calls LO "my baby". Unless that someone is a close relative related by blood (ie. not just a babysitter/nanny), someone that I personally like, and are consistently in my LO's life 24/7 and helping me take great care of him. (which that person doesn't exist other than husband)

@Anagram: No, it wouldn't bother me. But, I think it depends on the relationship with the people saying it.
For ex. an over-bearing MIL who constantly criticizes and acts possessively... yes, it would bother me.
A healthy open relationship with MIL who affectionately refers to their grandbaby as their baby... no, I would think it was cute and it wouldn't bother me.
