  • Both of my dad's parents died before I was born. My mom's parents are nannan and pappaw. The first two grandchildren called her granny, but then I came along & for some reason refused to call her anything but nannan, so that ended up sticking. I called my great-grandmother (on my mothers side) granny jane(which is her middle name).
  • MY dad's side we called Gran and Pawpaw and my mom's were the standard Grandma and Grandpa.

  • My parents are in their 60's and were both the youngest of 4, so all of my grandparents are passed away.

    My mother's mother was Mom-Mom, and her father was Grandpa. My dad's mother was Grandma Nell, and his father I never knew. He died when my dad was 15.

  • Great question! 

    My mom's parents were: Grama and Pop-pop

    My dad's parents are: Grandma or DeMa and Grandpa. 

    I was lucky enough to have all 4 grandparents up until 2 years ago.  My mother's mother had been sick for years, so it's like we lost here way before she passed. We all thought she'd be the first to go, but my Pop-pop ended up passing suddenly 3 months before she did.  The weird thing was that she passed on what would have been his 86th birthday.  We all felt she kind of waited for the day. I was so grateful that at least one set of my grandparents were around to see me get married.

    Cesare only has his mom's mom left and we call her Nonna. Unfortunately she lives in Italy, so I've only met her twice, but she is the sweetest thing.

  • both were just grandma and grandpa.

    DH calls his grandmothers grandmom though. I thought it was so cute the first time I heard it.

  • My Mom's parents were Grama (or Gram) and Pa (he died when I was 6)

    My Dad's parents were Nanny and Poppa 

  • 'eh I was boring. Both sets were called Grandma and Grandpa.

    I only have my dad's father left, and as I've grown more obnoxious over the years I call him G-pops.

  • Grandma and Grandpa.

     

    I only had one grandfather. My mom's mother died when I was 3, but she was Grandma Betty and my dad's mother was Grandma or Grandma Sis, which was her nickname.

  • I was very close with my dad's mom who helped raise me as a yound child.  She was Meme (yes, with that spelling).  Her husband died before I was born.

    On my mom's side, I had Meme Joyce and Granddaddy Don.

     

    We were just talking about this recently because my mother doesn't like any of the names for her to be called once it's time for us to have children.  I told her she better get used to being called Meme because it will be her turn before long!

  • Mothers side: Grandma and Grandaddy

    Dads side: Mammaw and Pappaw 

     

    Hubby's mom already is "Meme" to her grandkids, so I assume she will get that one. I think my brother's kids call my Mom Grandma, so there you have it. :)
