Mrschica:

My ILs are Grandma And grandpa Felo.

my parents are Babi (my mom) and Tata (my dad)... No way in hell is my son calling my day's gf by anything other than her first name, even if they get married (he called her grandma to LO and got the wrath from all 4 daughters)

he is calling my grandmas "otra Babi" (other Babi for my mom's mom) and Babi nancy for my dad's... And Tata Leon for my dad's, but it's very unlikely that he'll ever meet him since he is in an assisted living facility. 

In Serbian/Croatian Tata is dad.

And my answer my mom will be baba (grandma in Serbo-Croatian) and my dad will be did (grandpa in the Dalmatian dialect of Serbo-Croatian). My MIL will also be baba and father in law will be deda (Serbian for grandpa).

My dad and stepmom are already grandparents and use Papa and Mimi.  Reminds me of Drew Carey, too, but that makes it fit her LOL

My mom passed away and we'll use Nana for her.  I wish I knew what she wanted to be called.

MIL and FIL want to be grandma and grandpa (boring!)   These are their first grandkids.

My aunt (mom's sister) will be their grandmother and since she already has grandkids, she is called Grandma and my uncle is Dude.  Since MIL refuses to budge on using grandma for herself, I might encourage the kids to use Gigi (GG for Grandma Gail). 

My grandparents were Tutu (Hawaiian) and Granddaddy as well as Oma (German) and Granddaddy.  I was the first grandchild and my parents say I picked the word Oma without knowing it was actually a word for grandmother.  Tutu loved Hawaii so she picked her name.  I just didn't want any of our parents to use names we had for my grandparents.  DH's grandparents were Grandpa First Name and Grandma First Name on both sides.  meh


Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.


PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.

MIL and FIL are grandma and grandpa, because that's what they are with the other grand kids.

LO is my moms first grandchild, and she wants to be grandma. That made me sad because we are German and I was hoping she would be Oma or Omi like I had.

Now they will have to be Grandma Esther and Grandma Sandi since they both want to be grandma. Boo!

We've always called my parents Grandma and grandpa. DS is talking now and calls my mom gram gram and my dad pop pop.

DH's parents are grandma and grandpa with their Last name but DS doesn't call them anything because he doesn't see them often enough to give them a name. Not sure what they will end up being called.

MIL requested to be Mimi. FIL is PawPaw.
My mom requested to be Gamma. Dad wants to just be grandpa.
Right now E calls both our moms what they want but calls both our dads PaPaw.

ShabyKitty:
Grandma and grandpa. Ya we're lame like that lol. I figure LO will make his own version of that when he's old enough.

Totally this.  My MIL wanted them to be called Gammie and Gampie, but my niece started calling them Gam and Pop ... so that's what they are called (not by my children though as we just about never see them... DD refers to them as Daddy's Mommy or Daddy's Daddy)

My parents are Nonnie and Pop Pop.
