Hubbies parents are Nanna & Grandad.

My dad is Dada. My mum (no longer with us Sad) probably would have been called Mama as we called her mum that.

We have....

Gran & Grandad - my mum & step dad
Granny - oh's mum
Grandad & granny annie - which is my dad and step mum, just call her that to take the piss really. They live in Ireland and haven't met Ashton yet and at this rate never will.
Ashton also has oh's Dad who lives about an hour away and met Ashton a couple of weeks ago and just nodded and said oh yeah when we introduced Ashton to him! Therefore him & his partner don't deserve titles!
Great gran & grandad which are my gran parents.

Tammi & Ashton xxxx

Ah this was a nightmare as none of them could decide what they wanted to be called for a looooong time!

My mum n dad are Grandma and Grandad
OH's mum and dad are Nana Chubbs (its supposed to be ironic as she's skinny... don't ask) and Grandad
And theres my grandparents - great-grandma and great-grandpa
OHs Grandad is just great Grandad, his wife is Jan (she;s a bit scary to call step gran!) and OHs gran who is Great gran.

How original! xxx

Well we have x2 nannys and x2 grandads cos neither of the nan's wanted to be granny or grandma!

We also have x1 great nana and x1 great grandad but they will probably end up being called nan and grandad.

And we have a great great gran (my great gran) but she lives away from us so joshua probably wont have to struggle to say that as he wont see her much!

Its a bloody nightmare when one doesnt want to be called something and nor does the other so Joshua will have to get used to have 2 nans and 2 grandads! xxx

My mum was Granny but sadly passed away 1 month ago but we still call her that to Kara to keep her memory alive. My dad is Granda.

Husband's mum is Nana and Dad is Granda. I also have my two sets of Grandparents so they are both known as great granny and great granda. I will just use their surnames to distinguish them when she is older and starts talking and calling them.
