Step-in-laws?

So my husbands mother recently got married to a guy she has been dating for a couple of years. Her and my husband are relatively close and he found out about it through facebook (another story). This guy has always made me extremely uncomfortable and I always told my husband if/when we ever had children they would never stay with his mother, because of this guy. I could be way off but whatever, my child. Better safe than sorry. But this is about what my daughter should call him. In my heart I really don't want her to call him anything like grampa or papa (my husbands father is deceased), it's not like my husband calls him dad? Is this weird? And he wants to be called "lolo" which they use for grandfather in the Philippines (my husband was born in the Philippines). I just think that's SO weird where he is NOT Filipino at all. Why would he want to be called that?! Maybe I'm just overreacting because I'm just not crazy about him..

    I don't blame you for not wanting him to be called grandfather or anything like that. In my opinion it seems like he is going to have a grandfather role and maybe letting LO decide what she wants to call him during their interactions is the best move here. Maybe call him "Joe and Grandma" when talking about him or something but if she comes up with a nickname it would be better than forcing a name that doesn't seem to fit. She may want to call him "Joe" or she may end up calling him something as silly as dodo or anything random she connects in her head for him.

    That's actually a great idea. I just need to convince my husband.  :D
