Do you hate your kids' grandparent names (like granny, etc...)?

My MIL goes by Nana and it grates on me, I just hate it, it's so pretentious. That is all, just a vent. Why couldn't she pick a normal name like grandma?

Wow. What a weird thing to be upset over. Life is easier when you learn to go with the flow.

No. My father in laws name is Joe. The first grandchild couldn’t say that and it came out Yo. He’s now Papa Yo. We all think it’s cute.

Nana is pretentious? This is the type of sh!t that gives credence to those posters that claim DILs are actually the evil ones. This is such an absurd things to waste feelings on.

I saw my tweens phone contact list and she had “Gramma Crackers” for my mother. I didn’t ask.

Nana is pretentious!? I do not get this.

If you have a son, you’re the kind of person who is never going to see him or his family again after he gets married. And you’ll get what you deserve then.

At best, you’ll be relegated to a two-hour gift exchange and dinner the weekend before Christmas, take it or leave it.

My mother in law gets called Mom by the grandchildren. Not only is it annoying but it's also confusing.

My twins call my mom Grandma Cookies because she brought them cookies right after they started talking. It was a smart move on their part because she feels like she has to live up to her moniker.

I grew up in New England, where roughly 50 percent of grandmothers are called Nana. It Is the farthest thing from pretentious.

My mother and her siblings called one of their grandmothers "Mom." I don't know why. But she always called her mother "Mother," so I guess there was no confusion.
