What will your LO call the grandparents?

AfterAll · April 2010

We always called both sets grandma/grandpa.

MH keeps referring to his parents as Nana and Nano. Cracks me up.

*blondie* · April 2010

My parents are grandma and grandpa. Dh's parents are grandma 'first name' & grandpa 'first name'.

We call both sets grandma and grandpa.

He calls my paternal grandparents grandpapa and grandmaman because they are french.

Though, I think my dad wants to be a grandpapa too.

My parents will be Abuelita and Abuelito (grandma and grandpa in Spanish).

His dad will be Grandpa.

MrsBeckO · April 2010

My mom is Nona, my dad is Granpa, DH's parents are Nana (pronoucned naw-naw) and Papa (paw-paw).

DEBBIE33CASEY · April 2010

I prefer if they are called Grandma/Grandpa.

But for Dh's parents I could care less

lol at Nano.

My mom is grandma. DH's dad and wife are grandma and grandpa.

I thought DH's mom and husband were grammy and grampy, but they were just visiting last week, and his mom kept calling herself 'Mimi"?!?! I don't get it.

Forgive my high school level Spanish, but doesn;t "ito" make something small?

DH's parents want to be Nana and Papa. My parents are Grammy and Gaga (what my nephew calls my dad). I figure we'll just let Grace call them whatever she wants. I think my dad secretly likes it that my nephew gave him a name.

Grandma for both. If I am talking about my mom, I will be referring her as Mama (since my mom refers to her mom as Mama and I want to do the same.)

I don't ever talk about my dad because we don't see each (live in different states.) But if we ever see each other, I will just be referring to him as Grandpa. The same goes for DH's dad.

My MIL has a boyfriend, but we just refer to him by his name. I would like to refer to him as Grandpa but I don't know if he would be comfortable with that or not. I have asked MIL but she says she doesn't know. I don't understand why she doesn't ask him and I just feel weird asking him about it.

o0oStefankneeo0o · April 2010

DH's parents will be Avo & Ava

My parents will be Grandma & undecided on Grandpa or Papa

babs324 · April 2010

Oh boy....my parents are grandma and grandpa. However, my mil insists on having a "unique" title - so lo is supposed to call her "gamma" and dh's father "bumpa." Why, why, why......I think it is ridiculous, and I'm not into talking baby talk with something like this.

It is seriously so confusing to ME. I just refer to them all as grandma (first name), grandpa (first name). Not sure how this will end. Sigh....

My parents are Nonno & Nonna

MIL and FIL are Grammy and Papa?

Forgive my high school level Spanish, but doesn;t "ito" make something small?

Also can be used for a form of endearment. ?

This :-).

Abuela and Abuelo are the proper terms.

Abuela and Abuelo on DH's side (they're Puerto Rican), Grandma and Grandpa for my parents

Ahh... got it....I am glad I was kind of right... my brain isn't what it used to be pre-baby.

My parents are Nana and Papa (paw-paw) and DH's parents are MaMaw and PaPaw.

Linden's momma · April 2010

My Mom is Grammy and my dad is Gra and is girlfriend is Ma (what his girlfriend' grandson calls them) MIL and FIL are Gran and Grandad

Lesley0228 · April 2010

My parent's are nana and papa. Papa was already decided because my stepbrother's kids call him that. Stepbrother's kids call my mom grammy and she hates that, so she chose nana when I was pregnant. DD can actually say nana and papa too (they watch her daily so they practice) but doesn't say it to them.

deeanneharris · April 2010

My mom is BB (her name is Betty) and my cousins always called her that so it stuck when K was born. DH's parents are MiMi and Grandpa.

tigpom · April 2010

My parents go by Nana and Papa, they picked and my inlaws go by Papaw and Mamaw (my neices came up with those). I always called my grandparents grandma and grandpa but I just let the grandparents pick it out.

JennifernKevin4ever · April 2010

My mom is grandma and FI's dad is grandpa. His mom and my dad both passed away awhile ago. So we don't really need to call them anything different.

mrsbird1129 · April 2010

We haven't decided yet. I'm guessing what she'll be able to pronounce best?

Mommi2B2009 · April 2010

My dad and stepmom are PawPaw and Nanny, my mom is GiGi, my grandparents (grandma and husband, and my grandpa) are Mamaw, Pop, and Papaw, DH's parents are Mamaw and Papaw, and his grandmother is Mamaw Bea (her name is Beatrice)

nndidiamaka · April 2010

My parents are just Grandma and Grandpa, and DH's parents are Nnenne and Nnanna, the Igbo (Nigerian) words for Grandma and Grandpa, since DH is from Nigeria.
