[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 335745, member: 7083"] My brother and I both call our paternal grandmother "Mom". When my brother was born, our uncles were both teenagers living at home. My brother heard them calling her Mom, so that's what he called her. I copied my brother. There weren't anymore grandkids until I was 15. They call my grandmother "Grandma". But, boy, if my brother or I ever did - jokingly - she'd get so mad at us. HAHAHAHAHA My brother and I are a lot closer to her than the other grandkids. I even lived with my grandparents for 6 months when I was 14. It never bothered my mom, until I became an adult. So, when I talk about her to my mom - which isn't often - I say my grandmother's given name. It just seems uncomfortable either way. She doesn't mind my brother calling our grandmother "Mom", though. Or she doesn't show it. I'm not sure what the difference is....or if I'm being oversensitive. My mom is Nana and the kids never had trouble saying that. My stepdad is Granddad and easy child called him Gaga til he could say it right and difficult child called him daygray. LOL I don't know how she got that. But, not they both call him Granddad. I think Mamo is perfect. It will be easy for a little one to say. :) [/QUOTE]
