[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im in a similar position as OP but there are grandkids involved. My FIL’s new wife says my kids (baby, 2, and 5) should call her by her first name, not by a grandmother honorific title. We insist that our kids call adults Mr./Ms. (Southern! Can’t help it) but she insists they should just say her first name. I feel like this is cold toward my kids. This is their new grandma! [/quote] She is right, first name. Mr./Mrs. is rude as it doesn't imply family. And, grandma is reserved for your mom. If your mom has passed, then maybe grandma but she's not comfortable so respect it. My mom has been dating a man 10+ years. Kid calls him by his first name but he's a cold fish so he just normally stares at us and doesn't act like a grandpa. My mom is very much a grandma to his grandkids, but she sucks with my kid.[/quote]
