What to be called

My grandchildren call me Grandma and I love it.
Can`t do nanny as it`s a paid job

I agree with misadventure- hopefully my grandson (18 months) will decide what to call me. I had a Nan and don't feel we can use that (my daughter called her that too) She still has two grandmas so I can't be that so he has two grannies at the moment. Just started talking and first attempt sounded like Nanny, so will go with that- his attempts at his auntie are yilly- (Lizzie) and Noni ( Naomi) so am looking forward with interest to what he decides.

My mum was Grandma for her first 14 grandkids, but then my DS changed that to Granny for no aparant reason he also changed Grandad to Granda with an emphasis on the "A". Now a few if them use the same.

At first my first gc called me bob, my short name, but changed it to grandad, my wife has always been Nana, unless they are laying it on, in which case it's nannan. The ggc all call me grandad or dadadbob, my wife is still nana, it was never our choices of names, all of the children slipped into them.

I'm Nannie, with an 'ie', and very proud of it! My mum & MiL were both Nannie to my children, which changed to Nan, when my children were older. Both of my GMs were Nannie/Nan to me, and so were both of my great GMs. Strangely enough, I don't get paid to be Nannie, and neither did any of mine! They are/were just those lovely ladies we mostly adore, who show us lots of love, kindness and cuddles, amongst many other things. I don't see what difference a name makes, or why some people have to be so critical/snide about what other GMs are called. Just be happy with whatever your GC calls you, and thank your lucky stars that you have them!
