What do your grankids call you?

I remember growing up I always called mine Grandma and Grandpa. I didn't know there were other names. It was just never something I paid attention to I guess with my friends. I first started noticing when my own little boy came out with Meemaw for my mom and Pepaw for my stepdad, he called all the other grandparents that too, all 4 of our parents were divorced and remarried, so my 2 had 4 sets of grandparents. When my son got older, he started calling my mom Grandma, she said it was sad for her b/c he was growing up. I just love to hear all the different names. I like Grammie too, it's so sweet.

Isn't it so sweet to have a unique name that he/she calls no one else by? How precious!! I know it must make you feel as special as the grandson is to you.

That is just precious!!I had never heard of Lolo mama and papa before. I had a best friend who said her grandkids called her Busha or something similar to that, I can't quite remember if that is correct or not. Her husband is Jewish I think, so maybe someone can correct me if that is the wrong way to pronounce it. But she said she loved it.

My mom's great grandkids sometimes call her momma too. Maybe it's because they hear us call her that. I think it is just precious the names that the kids pick out. Some people try to make the grands call the certain names, but my kids always picked ones on their own no matter how hard the one set of grandparents tried.

I'll bet it is music to your ears. I think we all dream of the day when our own children's children love us and call us by the same pet names or new pet names that we used on our own grandparents, I loved my gramma's and grandpa's, the ones I got to know. Several were already deceased before my birth.

I have many of those same fond memories of my own grandparents applsofgld . I was fortunate, indeed very fortunate, to know all four of mine. My paternal grandfather we called 'pap', and I was really hoping to inherit that name as it meant so much to me, but so far that honor has passed me by. I've not yet given up hope however, as two of my children have not started a family, and there is perhaps more future music to my ears coming my way. I've written a few small short stories to date about my grandmother on a different site, and not wanting to break any unkown 'mylot' rules I won't name the site, but I use the same 'monikor' at B.Feast. Thank you for the very nice words of an answering comment. Grandchildren do make the world a much better place, at least for this one very proud granpa.

How precious is that??? My neice started my husband's nick name several years back. You would never guess what it is....Treestunk. He used to call her little boy b/c she didn't like getting her hair fixed. She had a bit of a speech impediment, and I told her one day to find a nickname for him. We were driving down the road and she looked around and said Treestunk, she couldn't say treestump, but it has stuck with him . Now all the kids call him that, and his 14 yr. old niece calls him Uncle Treestunk. It is really cute.

As my kids got older they went to calling them grandma & grandpa and using their first or last names to differentiate between them. They had 4 sets. Grannie & Pappaw is so sweet. I'm Nana to most and my husband is Papaw, even to my daughter's dog, I'm Nana. Of course she thinks they are talking about banana (which she loves), so when they mention my name she goes crazy :)

That is so cute. Grandkids are the greatest blessings in life.
