My children are now 19, 16 and 3. The older two still call my Mum and Dad...Jellynana and Pop-Pop. I have no idea why and now the little fella is doing the same.

Re: What do your grandchildren call you?
We call my dad's parents Grandma and Grandad, and my mum's parents were Nanny and Grandad.
Grandma didn't like Nanny because she said it made her feel hired, and Nanny didn't like Grandma because she said it made her feel old!
Therefore, when talking about either grandad, it would be 'Nanny and Grandad Grandad', or 'Grandma and Grandad grandad' to distinguish between the two!

Re: What do your grandchildren call you?
same reason sophie has nanny and grandma. my mum would have much preferred to be called by her first name, but I put my foot down about that cos i really don't like it lol!! so recently it's become a compromise, she's now granny jacquie.the.fee.fairy wrote: Grandma didn't like Nanny because she said it made her feel hired, and Nanny didn't like Grandma because she said it made her feel old!
