Question. Who decides what the grandparents get to be called? (Ie, papa, granddad, Nana, grandma, etc.) Is it the grandparents, or the parents of the baby??
My parents have a lot of grandchildren and confusingly enough, all their grandchildren call my mom something different. 3 refer to her as Grandma Nancy, and 3 refer to her as Nana. Grandma Nancy was started by the first grandchild, so I have no idea why Nana was started, but it's super weird. In any case, my mom hates Grandma Nancy and likes Nana.
I personally don't like Nana, I love Grandma Nancy, and since it was started by the first grandchild I think that's what my child should call her, but she insists on Nana.
Also, what is your child supposed to call step-grandparents? Especially if Grandma, Nana, etc are taken by paternal grandma and maternal grandma?
