Re: Thursday QOTD

DH is Greek so his parents will be "Yia-Yia and Papou"

My mom and dad will be first time Grandparents so they think they would like to be called "Poppy and Nonny".

Re: Thursday QOTD

DH is also Greek so Yia-Yia and Papou for us too.
For my parents, not sure about my mom, probably just grandma or grammy, and for my dad, Pop, that's what I called his father.

Re: Thursday QOTD

DH's mom past away when he was a teenager but his nieces and nephew refer to her as Gram-Gram or Grandma. His dad will be Grandpa I guess, not really a fan of him.

My parents will be Nonna and Pop Pop.

Re: Thursday QOTD

Right now my nieces call my mom, Memah and my step-dad is poppa. So I am sure my kids will do the same.

Re: Thursday QOTD

DH's parents are from Italy, so they'll be Nonna and Nonno

My mom refuses to be called Grandma so I thought maybe we'll call her Meema (pronounce Mee-Maw). Sounds cute Chat Icon

Re: Thursday QOTD

My mom will be Dema (my niece named her many moons ago), my dad will be Grandaddy and my stepmom will be Grandmom.

Dh's Mom will probably be Nanny and his dad I am not sure probably be Grandpa.

Re: Thursday QOTD

My mother will be Nana, as I called her mother, and my dad said he wants to be called Pops, but I'm not entirely sure if he was joking or not.

DH's parents...he calls his grandparents who are still living Nan and Pop, so our kids will probably at least call his mother Nan, and his father the ethnic word for Grandpa that coincides with his background lol.

Re: Thursday QOTD

i have no idea - i'd like to have something different for each of them to make it easier...like Grammy and Grandma and Grandpa and Pop...but i guess it will come down to what they want to be called...

I'm guessing that my Dad will want to be "Grandpa" - that's what we called his father.

DH's beloved grandparents were "Mama" and "Papa" so I'm guessing my MIL will want to be "Mama" like her mother. Who knows? I can't even mention anything baby-related with her before she starts grilling me about when we're going to end her misery and make her a grandmother. Just give it up, lady! It'll happen when it happens. Chat Icon
