Re: Grandma, granma or gran!?

My dad's step-mum we called Grandma, but my mum's mum had to be called Mother as no other title would do. My mum always said that if ever she became a grand parent, she would not tolerate the use of nanny, because to her that was a goat, but she would have accepted gran or grandma.

I love being a Nanny and never associate it with a 'goat'

Mollie, did you know that 'Mollie' was also a small fish?

Re: Grandma, granma or gran!?

I used to call both mine Grandma, (one saying she didn't want to be known as Nanny as she wasn't an old goat), when our boys came along the grandmother's chose to be known as Grandma and the other Nanny.
For my grandchildren I'm know as GrannyVal
