[quote=Anonymous]We don't have step-grandparents, but we did let each grandparent pick what the grandkids called them. Children will learn names that you teach them, and it helps grandparents bond if the grandkids call them by a name that they prefer. Would you like someone else dictating if your children call you Mom, Mommy, Mama, etc? Of course not. You teach them what you want to be called. Give the grandparents the same courtesy. If both want the same name, then consider Grandma Betty and Grandma Sue or Nana Sally and Nana Jane. I've noticed that those who have an input in what they'll be called always feel close. The ones that get a name assigned may or may not feel as close as they might.[/quote]
