I think grandma is appropriate.. its totally disgusting when a child can speak properly, and they call a family member some absurd name like nana or poopah..


My nephew calls my father poopah.

Pretend there is a line down the middle seperating those names... it wouldn't copy and paste right

sometimes earthy it becomes a term of endearment that started from not being able to speak properly when a small tot... For me I'd really rather not be called grandma at this time, I'm just not ready to be called that...


Heck my little brother is lucky his name didn't stick, my other brother couldn't say his name so somehow came up with "fruity"

Congrats !

That's a lot of them Jill...


Thanks Wolfchic....

Congrats its great being a grandma,u can spoil them and give them back when they start up

Have a seat,








and don't forget your walking stick.






















ok, just kidding !

Thanks Silly... I do that with my nieces, nephews and friends kids now...

bite me Frank...

OK!

Little tiny bites around your neck, or more aggressive bites on your thighs and hip?

Frank! This is the g'ma thread...

My 2 Grandsons just call me "Ma". I think it's sweet. Its now become the new word for Grandma in our family. Good Luck to you.

Thank you Hello....

Another added benefit to that is "Ma" doesn't sound sooooooooooo old, lol, especially when we're still sooooo young

Oh i know, it just reminds me of how people dont encourage their kids to speak properly, or how they have kids that shuffle their feet like they are lacking mentally.. little foot draggers. EH! cant stand them.

Still have no idea why people would get older and would want to speak like they are 2.. WIERD.

Thank God my son follows what he was taught.

Well I totally understand that.. I do not condone not speaking properly... My son's call their grandparents grandma and grandpa and my grams was nana until I was older and I'm sure I'll be grams later but right now it's not something I think I can handle but hey, I didn't think I could handle being one and I'm getting used to it so I never say never.... LOL

But some of the names are cute and endearing so for that I don't consider proper or not unless of course it's just way, way whacked out...
