What do your kids call their step-grandparent?

My husband's nan and her husband were together for 40 odd years but they all called him Uncle Dave still. It's a mark of respect and importance without the use of the sacred grandparent title!

I understand my dads been dating this lady for maybe like 3 years and she wants my son to call her “memaw” which is what her grandkids call her. I don’t really like it but Idk how to bring it up in a respectful way I hate confrontation

When my grandma was with her late partner I just called him by his first name, I was in my teens and had a good relationship with my biological grandad before he passed. The younger ones originally called him by his first name but then transitioned into calling him grandad after they had been together a few years, this was their choice though. I suppose it ultimately depends on how long she has been with your dad and how you feeling about it. If you don't want it then you have a right to say 😊

My husband’s step mom is lolly lol they’ve been married since my husband was 3 though so it’s slightly different. If you’re not comfortable with it then just let them know

My husbands parents are both re-married. We have all different names for all 3 sets of grandparents just so it will be easy to know who we are talking about. I see like this - they are just extra people to love him!!! My parents are nana and papa, hubby’s mom is Oma and her husband is Opa, hubby’s dad is grandpa and his wife is grandma.

I think don’t over complicate things .. grandad granma

My grandmother remarried as my mother was pregnant with me. We always called him Gramp, just like our other grandfather's. He just passed before Christmas, Im 28 now. Honestly all us grandkids were so lucky to have him, we never thought of him as a step relative. We knew he wasn't our blood but he still treated us like we were his. He and my grandmother were perfect for each other and I spent lots of time at their house as a child and I have so many fond memories.

You can choose to constantly remind your kid that this lady isn't family by blood, or you can let your child have that extra grandparent and extra love in their lives. You too may grow fond of her with time, I wouldn't sour things unless she gives you reason to in the future.

My mother has a boyfriend but in our culture, he’s her husband. My son would call him grandpa or my mom would refer her boyfriend as grandpa. I don’t mind it 🤷🏻‍♀️ My siblings and I call our mother’s boyfriend, uncle out of respect. Or we call him “mom’s boyfriend” or “mom’s stupid boyfriend” 😅

My mother in law remarried or got married to someone who is younger. They don’t have kids together but my son would call him by his name actually rather than grandpa 😅 and he calls my mother in law, grandma.
