What do your kids call their grandparents?
What do your kids call their grandparents. My mom and dad do not want to be called traditional grandma and grandpa. My dad has already established he wants to be called "grumpy" which I find kind of funny. I am just wondering what your kids use?

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
They're both referred to as Grandma and Grandpa.
Sometimes Joseph & Maddie distinguish them by saying "Your mommy" or "Daddy's Mommy"

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
My parents are called Nana and Papa, and my IL's are called Crazy and Cookoo. No, just kidding...IL's are called Nanny and Poppy.
However, my dad swears he's going to make Ava call him Professor (because he IS one).

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
My parents are Grandma and Grandpa, but when Andrew says it, it sounds more like Dammar and poppa. 
My IL's are Gram and Grandpa.
Its amazing that Andrew knows the difference between them already.

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
I do not like the jokey type nicknames for grandparents. JMO, but I think it can be almost disrespectful if a child is allowed to call a child a name like grumpy.
MIL is Nana..that was started long ago by nephew
My mom is Grandma Ginger (my mother's name)
My parents are Grandma or Grandma Lucille and Pa
Molly knows each name and actually started the name Pa. My dad never told her to call him anything specific.

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
Right now my son is still to young to say anything, but we use the standard, Grandma, and Grandpa for both granddads! I'm sure when he gets older he will come up with something. My dad would probably end up a Poppy, but that's what we called my Dad's Dad and right now his passing is a little too raw, so we haven't started using it yet!

Re: What do your kids call their grandparents?
We have been talking about this already even though the baby's not here. DH's parents have 2 already so they are Grandma and Grandpa. Not sure what we'll have him/her call my parents.
However, my father has said that he's liked to be called "Mr. D****, Sir" or "Dude".
