A year and a half later and I still have to think about who gets called what, and I always want to lump Grammy and Grampy together. I grew up with all the grandparents called Grandma or Grandpa. Could be worse though, my mom wanted to be called Mimi, which I vetoed because I think it sounds too much like Mommy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-los-call-their-grandparents#post-2174422 Mon, 11 May 2015 13:07:58 +0000 looch 2174422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL didn't want to be called grandmother (in her native language) when she became a grandmother over 11 years ago, but my son refused to call her that nickname his cousins do and he calls her grandmother, much to my amusement.</p> <p>Sometimes, the kids make the decision and you'd be surprised how accomodating the grandparents can be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-los-call-their-grandparents#post-2174415 Mon, 11 May 2015 13:02:15 +0000 fancyfunction 2174415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M calls my dad papa and both grandmas GG </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-los-call-their-grandparents#post-2174380 Mon, 11 May 2015 12:40:46 +0000 coopsmama 2174380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My MIL mentioned wanting to be called Mama when I was pregnant with my LO so I nipped that in the bud and said they'd be grandma and grandpa.
