When Martha and I had kids we went by Mom and Mommy. Easy. As the girls got older they came up with their own nicknames for us, which they still use. After they married, their husbands called us by our first names. It all seems to work.
By the end of the year we will be grandparents to two boys. One grandson will have 3 grandmothers, so that's not so difficult. But the other grandson, because his grandfather has had multiple marriages, will have 5 grandmothers.
Our daughters are asking what we would like to be called, wanting unique names to distinguish between this abundance of women.
So any suggestions? Names you had for your grandmothers, or what you are called? Any fun/cute names you’ve heard other folks use?
I’ll answer to almost anything, so all ideas are welcome.
