[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As several have mentioned, Mom-Mom is a popular choice for Philadelphia-area families. Generally the grandparent selects their name or the first grandkid just starts calling the grandparent by a name and it sticks![/quote] Yes, Grandmom and Mom-mom are very popular in southeastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, and middle to southern New Jersey. It’s kind of sad to not allow a grandparent to be called whatever they want to be called. And there’s a big helping of misogyny here in treating an older woman as though her preferences don’t matter. And, yes, I get that it’s an old OP, but the points remain relevant. Treat people the way you want to be treated and you can be more peaceful with yourself. [/quote]
