[QUOTE="DDD, post: 475139, member: 35"] I have lived and do live on the other side of that coin. Two sets of grandchildren call me by my first name due to parental guidance. Yikes! My eldest SD and I have never been tight. Her now grown kids have always called husband "Grandad" and I am "X". My daughter in law didn't want anybody to be called grandparent names except her parents. Believe it or not (nice reasonable me, lol) find it very disrepectful. In my generation you didn't call [B]any[/B] adults by their first name! But...I realized that it was a back burner item.The important part is that the grandchildren are raised in loving homes even if they are denied the extra benefit of deep attachment to their grandparents. "Accept the things you can not change". Not easy but important. Sigh. DDD [/QUOTE]
