[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]My Korean-American babysitter thinks it's hilarious how much drama there is in (white) US culture over grandparent names. M[/b]y DH is super low-drama but freaked out that my dad wanted to be called Papa. It is a common grandpa name (and never a dad name) where I'm from in the US, but DH is from a different part of the country and has spent a lot of time in Europe where Papa means Daddy. So as a compromise -- an admittedly passive-aggressive one -- I've started teaching DD German, which I speak, and calling her Dad "Papa" and Grandpa "Opa."[/quote] Oh yes how funny to make broad generalizations about a group of people! HA HA. Btw, neither side of my family made any fuss at all ( all white) so proved your theory wrong. How would your Korean-American babysitter like it if we say.."Isn't it funny how ALL Koreans do X, Y and Z? [/quote]
