[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 630682, member: 1514"] We found quickly that whatever the first grandchild called the grandparent is what stuck to all who followed...and the children tend to make up their own minds about what they are going to call us no matter what we want! We desperately tried to get Monkey to call my dad something like Great Papa or GPapa or something along those lines. Nope...she was stuck on calling him Grandfather in these really hushed and reverent tones as if she was talking about the Pope...lol She never said things like "My grandfather said XXX or my grandfather gave me XXX. Or even I love my grandfather" Nope...It was Grandfather said this, Grandfather gave this, I love Grandfather. I think maybe it was because he was so much older and lived in this really nice house compared to anything she has ever seen so she thought he was to be much respected. [/QUOTE]
