My Grandparents always refered to my Father as 'Son' and never used his Christian name. They always called my Mum by her Christian Name, or a shortened version of it which no one else who Knew her ever used, as she disliked her real Birthname, and prefared to be called a more modern version of it. They also insisted on refering to me as 'Jew' but instisted on everyone refering to them by their formal names, although I was allowed to call them Grandma and Grandad.
We have always been Mum and Dad to our own Daughters, but Grandchildren have been taught to refere to us and their other set of Grandparents as 'Grandma followed by Christian Name, or Grandad followed by Christian Name to help prevent any confusion as to who they are refering to. My Daughters as Teenagers used to refere to my stepmother as 'Carrigan' the name of a charicter in the Ghostbusters Film Casper, an evil stepmother to the family who lived in their Late mothers house with their father. One of the 'Ghosts' used to announce her arrival with a screech of 'The Bitch is Back'! The name was a way of coping with the way this woman treated my Dds in real life, and the signal to ignore her, was by me shouting Carrigan after one of them as a code for 'Take no notice of her'! She didnt have a clue who the charicter was, only that it came from a childrens book, but it did give my DDs some relief from her nastiness!
How do you acknowledge Easter.
