'Grandad' or Grandad?? :(

Will baby be calling stepdad grandad ? If so i would put his name your dad is watching over u and would understand ....also if u choose to put ur real dads name i am sure your stepdad would understand x

 

Could you not squeeze both of the names in hun, one on top of the other? They're obviously both very special to you, and you seem to want to recognize them both as Grandad xx

 

Why not photocopy that page and then stick the photocopy in, and have both of them. They're both important in different ways.

 

Awww..... honey, that must be a hard decision

I think since your mom's bf has been in your life for 9 years, and will be the grandfather figure in your baby's life, I would put his name. You know what.... why don't you put BOTH?? I'm sure your dad is watching over (I know mine is), and he would understand if you didn't put his name... but yeah, you could always put both. Your dad will be remembered, and I'm sure there's lots of pictures you'll be able to share with your little one too.

I would put both or none yet and see how you feel later on.
My step granda was my granda as far as I was concerned.

I dont like the fact there is a family tree section in my baby book as families these days - well it's not always so simple to just fill in one name is it?!

 

So true, isn't it?

 

I would put both in hun and if necessary photocopy the page and add an extra in. I lost my dad 9 years ago and if my mum had another man I would defiantly be putting both in as they are both special and should be included, hope this helps, take care XX

 

If you just want to put one name down, I'd put down your dad, since that would be direct family, rather than through just marriage. It's family history.

You can always acknowledge the step dad in another way.

 

I would write in your dad's name on top and put your step dad's name underneath

 

On our family tree bit we put my OHs grandad down instead of step grandad as its something the baby can look back through and find info out on if he wanted.

He'll never see his biological grandad cos he's a tit, but will call 'step' grandad, grandad.

You need to do what you feel comfortable with x
