WWYD Crazy bio mom edition
Wow I'm just chalked full of wonderful lately aren't i?
So my bio mom is coming here for a week to see Wyatt starting on sunday. Some of you might remember me posting about her before... she wanted nothing to do with me until I got pregnant and now she wants to be grandma. I'm just wondering if everyone else were in the same situation what would you let her call herself? I've said over and over to lance that wyatt has 2 wonderful grandmas and doesn't need a third, so for wyatts sake I was just going to call her by her first name... not that he would know any different anyways. But lance and I talked about it tonight and he thinks I should let her call herself grandma even though I don't think she has earned the title... just to keep her happy and to make sure she goes back from whence she came.
Wwyd?

Re: WWYD Crazy bio mom edition
How about some other term of endearment? I think that you are right Grandma should be reserved for his "real" Grandmas. However, often times in the case of step-kids etc. they might use Nana, or even Miss HerFirstName. I say Wyatt figure it out in his time.
FWIW my step-son calls my parents by their first names. My sister (technically half) called my grandparents Grandma and Grandpa and refers to all my cousins etc. as her's.So I guess it is always different. She even has a special name for my mom (her stepmom).
Jenny McCarthy = Former Playmate and MTV host
Pediatrician = Doctor with extensive experience and education on children.
Bumpies = Don't get me started!
I know who I get my health advice from!
What are you looking at?
F and I have talked about this too, and if we are ever able to have children, they will probably refer to my birth mom as grandma. (Partly because I think calling her another name would cause more trouble than it's worth.) I think you should do whatever feels comfortable for you, but I do really like Maria's suggestion!
ETA: I should probably add that my birth mom might actually be the *only* grandmother in the family to be called "grandma." My mom has decided that she wants to be Mimi, and my MIL just announced that she is going to be May-May...
