Your grandchildren call you. . . . .?

Do you mean when they want something or the rest of the time?

I don't have Gchildren yet. My great niece and my cousin's kids call me Sugar. My daughter's MIL's name is Candy. I told her we needed to be Gramma Sugar and Gramma Candy...how fun! But Candy would like to be GG (gorgeous gramma:-)....My Aunt's Gkids call her A'Yeahm where and why? Her first GS started it. Her husband is Papa. My parents are Papa and Grammy, DH's are Grandpa and Grandma and her mother is granny-great. Now that DH's mother is a great grandmother, the GGkids call her Nana & DD Poppy and granny-great is nanny-granny..it's fun. DH's mother's kids are the only ones that call her mother Granny-Great. DH was the only one growing up allowed to call her Granny. I had a Nana and the rest Gramma and grampa. DH will be Papa as he is to the great nieces/nephews, Papa Dave and Auntee Sugar (because I am sooooo sweet) All these greats makes us sound older than we are...we are 46/47...Dh's mother was a gramma at 34! She was 37 when our first was born. My DM was 38, my Dad 39, I was 19 when I had DS, done at 25...wow!

I am Nana to our three little GD's. My husband is Papaw. I wanted Mimi, but no one else liked that. So Nana I am and I love it. Thinking about it Mimi is a bit self absorbed. Get it?

LOL

Well I am Gammy or GamGam...and DH is Gampy or Gamps. We love it... :)

I am called LaLa.....by my 4 year old grandson Jacob, and I have a great neice that is almost 9..to this day, she still calls me Mama..

cute

We call our (now 25 yo) daughter, Laura, LaLa...:)

I'm grandma Kat to the older two, Mama Kat to the littler ones. My DH is Grandpa Stan, except that Jake called him Mama, Jake would answer Mama Stan to a who's this question and then laugh hysterically. Pretty well developed sense of humor for a one year old! then, it was Mampa Stan and now that he's two it's Granpa Stan. I was corrected - it's Bampa Stan or Bampa Tractor. We're the farm grandparents

Congratulations to the new grandparents and welcome to the new members.

I was one of those grandmothers at 38...we are french so Memere and Pepere is what the grandkids call us. Did not want to be called "Memere" @ 38.....now I wouldn't want to be called anything else!!

Oh and my DSL adn BIL who's family are dutch and all those from our Lynden area Dutch heritage are Oma and Opa, long O sound.

When Our first DGD was calling My DH Babe he thought people would think it not appropriate
I told him it was precious and he would be one of a kind and she wants it or she would change it.
Of course when our second came along she followed in suit. Everyone we told thought is was so precious.

When he had his second surgery before he passed, the 3 yr old then was in the waiting room with us and she loves to play waitress. We started talking about her Babe and these 2 ladies were wispering and giggling. When my DS, DDIL and DGD had to leave the ladies started up a conversation as they hated to see the little clown go. One of the ladies said that my DH, now he won't have a chance, would walk down the street with his chest all puffed out with a young
beautiful girl on each arm calling him Babe. Then she said what if they have another one
and it was a boy. Before I even got a good laugh out I called my DS and ask him if he had a boy did he want him calling Babe Babe. He got really got quiet and said I guess not. I was
laughing and said he will follow with the girls calling him Babe. I could not wait to see Babe in Recovery and I ask him if he had a DGS did he want him calling him babe especially when he
got older? Without missing a beat he said he would not mind at all. I said you mean when he introduces you when he is at football practice to his friend as babe you won't feel funny and he said no not at all. And the best part of all because they had no room ready for him it had been hours before I saw him and the anistetic had wore completely off.

Boy do I miss him.

Sweet sweet story.

Yes, that is a sweet story, thanks for sharing.

When my nephew, Joe, was a little guy, he called my parents, G-ma and G-da...Mom said she was sad when he grew out of it

Being from Belgium, my son calls his grandparents Oma (grannie) and Opa (grampa)

When I was a little girl, kind of before I started talking, I saw a documentory about ancient birds. One of them was a giant, non flying bird; the Dodo. I pointed to the tv and said dodo, but my grannie thought I called her dodo. So it came to be that I called my grannie DODO, and my grandpa I called bopapa ( from the French bon papa; good daddy)

these are just too cute.
