[quote=Anonymous]I called my grandmother (dad's mom) "Mama." In her native language (as in many others) it means mother, obviously. All of my other cousins, who were much older than I am, called her the word for "Grandmother" in that native language. But because I wasn't around those cousins much and instead I always heard her referred to by what my dad called her, I wanted to call her that too. She loved it...the other aunts/uncles/cousins were annoyed by it...I didn't really get that it wasn't proper and I don't care. I definitely knew who my mom was. Your kid is going to call the grandparents whatever ends up working out. These things kind of naturally happen. My MIL had a completely RIDICULOUS name she wanted. We never said it, she couldn't enforce it, it never happened. [/quote]
