[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this only a thing for grandparents to have a "name"?? Parents don't seem to have special names like this. IMO grandma and grandpa have a definition. My MIL is trying for "Gigi" but that's a dog name in my opinion. [/quote] One reason I think is that most kids have multiple ggrandmother & grandfathers but not only one mother and one father (there are exceptions, of course). Different nicknames for grandparents are a way to distinguish between them that is more familiar sounding than, say, Grandma Jones vs Grandma Smith & less potentially offensive than something descriptive like Bald Grandpa vs Hairy Grandpa or Skinny Grandma vs Chubby Grandma.[/quote]
