[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg Gavin chimed in and she still shot him down. Doesn’t he know by now: she’s the main character even in his biggest milestone in life? [/quote]

Do tell. 🍿 [/quote]

Gavin responded that J is for her brother, Aunt J is for her nephews, Grandma J should be for her grandson.

Her reply ended with “this is above your station”.

Personally, I HATE the trend of grandparents insisting they be called something. It’s so much cuter (and more meaningful) when kids make their own sounds and nicknames. 
If I were Gavin, I would just always call her Grandma J - and the kid will repeat it. Y’all know she’s not stopping her travels to stay near that child….[/quote]

Yeah, pretty much.  Picking out a grandma name, and insisting that your grandchild and those in his life refer to you as it, as well as making sure the whole internet knows about is as about "main character syndrome" as you can get............my grandfather called my grandma "Sweetie" and my older cousins thought that was her name.  She was henceforth called Grandma Sweetie for the next 4 decades and 2 generations.  I think Jen is missing out, once again trying to manufacture an idealized version for the internet instead of just experiencing of what could just be authentic.

Jane, there are not words.  Thank you for spelling this out so clearly.  I'm sure Nancy and Kimberly really appreciate you nailing it down for them.[/quote]
