[quote=Anonymous][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] Maybe she doesn't want to be their grandma and you should respect her boundaries. You're not entitled to this.[/quote] I do respect her boundaries. We call her by her first name. I’m posting on a forum that this seems weird to me. My kids grandma died, grandpa remarried, and now they have a new grandma. I’m not “entitled” but it’s weird for my little kids. They don’t even remember the previous grandma! This is their grandma whether she wants to be or not.[/quote]
