my son calls me aunty...

I'm really sad. I don't know why I always feel so inferior to my own family. My mother is a very dominant person... even after I got married and had children. I'm a stepchild, you know, mom. So I already have a child. Since my child could talk, whenever my mother meets my child, she always says, "Just call her auntie. Auntie. Auuuuntie." I once asked her seriously about this... and she said, "Oh, come on, mom's just kidding." I feel really hurt being treated like this by my own family, mom.

would suggest you cut her off whenever she does this, and tell your child to call her instead. (e.g "call what aunty, call ah ma." and point to your mum) This redirects what your mom meant into what he should call your mom instead of calling you. it also redirects her joke to become a mistake on her part, and you politely tell her she is wrong without saying she is wrong. usually I believe if they mean no harm, they will usually stop there as you are doing them a favor (teaching your kid to call her) but if she is stubborn and insists on continuing the joke, then (I am bad, but if it's me i'll cut her off again and tell your child, this person doesn't want you to call her! so next time see her ignore)
