What do/will the LOs call you? (Grandparents too)

[paloslee]

Let's start a new week with a new question. What do/will your LOs call you? And you want to share or if applicable what will they call their grandparents?

DS1 had several names for me. Not sure how he came up with them but they were really cute. He use to call me gigi, Mimi and Betty. And mommy. Now, I'm just mom. I want LO to call me mama. And he will call H papi.

We are still blessed to have his grandparents on both sides and he has a great grandmother (my Grammy). He will call my in-laws abuelo and abuela (Spanish terms for grandparents). He will call my mom Grammy.

Mummy
Daddy

My parents -Nana Grandpa - though she rarely sees grandpa
Dh's -Papa and Grandma (Grandma calls herself granny... I didn't like it so I taught her grandma. She's also called herself granny gitch which fyi means granny panties lol)

My mom wanted to be nana forever.
My fil I started teaching her papa because I figured it was easier to say than grandpa and she sees him more frequently so I wanted her to learn how to say his name sooner.

DS calls me mom, mommy, or mama. None have really stuck yet. DH is daddy. I'm sure it'll turn into dad as he gets older.
My mom and dad are Nana and Pops to all of their grandchildren. My 7 year old niece named them. I love those names.
MIL is grandma, but right now when DS says it it sounds like Drama, which also fits, lol.
SFIL is grandpa Ernie, but he's not around much so that's more us calling him that.
SMIL is Dawnie (her name is Dawn). Her other granddaughter named her that years ago and she loves it. She only visits for 1-2 weeks a year though, so not much going on yet. FIL is passed away.

Drama

J obviously isn't calling us anything yet, but we refer to ourselves as mommy/mama and daddy/papa.

My mom is nana and my dad is pop. My mom was very insistent that she not be grandma because she "isn't old enough to be a grandma." I think nana sounds older but what do I know.

MIL is grandma (although she's spelling it gramma for some reason). FIL is grandpa.

Colin calls me Mommy for the most part, though Mama still comes out when he's either excited or hurt. Every once in awhile he busts out Mom and I DNW. DH is already Dad 90% of the time and he's fine with that.

My ILs are Grandma and Papa - they both went with what their own Mom/Dad were called.

My parents are Nana and Grumpy. Both their parents went by Memere and Pepere, which they always hated. My Mom always wanted to be Nana and my Dad's name started as a joke but really kinda fits...

I think Nana sounds older too

[kendraj426]

I am mama or mommy. DH is dada or daddy. Though when V says our names the second consonant often gets left out, so mine sounds more like a two syllable 'my'. She has also started calling me by my first name. I try to discourage that as much ax possible.

My parents are Grandma and Grandpa.

DH's parents are Nana and Papa.

[chatterbox]

I'm Mommy and DH is Daddy.

MIL and FIL are Ma and Papa right now because DD can't say Grandma and Grandpa. I refer to them as grandma and grandpa.

DD doesn't really know my mom because she's in a nursing home. When we call I tell DD she is talking to my mommy, hoping eventually she'll understand.

Whatever man. She's a whackadoo.

I like grumpy

[rachelilly23]

I'm Mommy to my 3, sometimes Mom to my 6 year old. I don't like it though when he calls me Mom, he sounds too old lol. H is Daddy to all 3, sometimes Dad to the 6 year old.

My parents are Nanny and Poppy. H doesn't have a relationship with his parents, so we don't call them anything.

[readinglove]

DH and I will be Daddy/Dad and Mommy/Mom.

Grandparents on both sides are just Grandpa and Grandma.

We're apparently simple/boring people.

[Deleted]

We refer to ourselves as Mama/Mommy and Daddy. My mom is Grammy. My dad is Scotch (I hate it, but it's what he wants.) My grandma is Meme. DH's parents are Grandma and Grandpa and his grandma is Granny.

[carissa325]

We are mama and dad. 3 sets of grandparents: Nana and Grandad, Grams and Papa and Papaw and Gaga.

Is Scotch close to his name or just his favorite drink? Lol

His name is Scott and his gf's grandkids call him Scotch. He doesn't want to be any form of grandpa. I'm hoping J will call him something different on his own.

Just refer to him as something else when he isn't around. That's how I got dd1 to call MIL Grandma instead of Granny lol.

[songbirdsinging55]

Momma and Dada. Although he sometimes calls me honey because he hears DH call me that all the time. He sometimes calls DH Bears for the same reason.

My parents - Gammy and Peepaw. Lol

[arbe]

My parents are Abuelo & Abuela, in laws are Nana & Poppy.
