What will the baby be calling the grandparents?

And if you have step-parents, will they have special names, too?

Re: What will the baby be calling the grandparents?

IDK.

I think probably DH's parents will be nana and pops... idk. i think that's what the other kids call them... so i'll just keep it the same.

and my mother... IDK. grandma I guess.

My mom wants to be called "Grammy" since that's what she called her Grandma, & I called my Grandma that.

DH's parents would probably be Grandma & Grandpa unless the kid decides to call them something else and it sticks.

Re: What will the baby be calling the grandparents?

My parents were supposed to be Grandma & Grandpa
My Mom's only request was not to be called "Grandma Lucille" - she just hates the way it sounds .........

MIL and FIL never said anything and I asked multiple times -
MIL thought Sean would 'just come up w/ something on his own' Chat Icon
Um, ok - he's going to pull a name out of NOWHERE ? Brian calls her Mom and I call her Pat .........so, he's going to know you as one of those unless we teach him otherwise !!

Sean sees my parents all the time, and we always referred to them as Grandma & Grandpa - but one day Sean just came out w/ "Papa" for my Dad -
So, he's Papa ........and then he came out w/ "Moma" for my Mom -
which now that he's speaking a lot she's trying to get him to call her Grandma b/c he CAN say Grandma now, but he still calls her Moma .......

FIL he calls Grandpa b/c for the once in a blue moon that he sees him, he repeats it when we tell him to - and MIL he refers to as Grandma Pat - again, only when he sees her and we tell him "say Hi to Grandma Pat' - Sadly, if he saw her on the street, he wouldn't know who she was ...........
