Grandma names

I love hearing grandma names because everyone has something unique. I just had the basic grandma and nana. My mother went with the basic grams, my MIL chose mimi and my step mom has my sister's kids calling her baba (because of the baba yaga legend) the dads didnt have as much fun with it lol. Just pap and 2 grandpas. what are your mom's grandma names?

Granny, Memaw

My moms is Mimi (but she’s gone by that for years bc her name is Amy)

My dad is PawPaw

Step mom is Tita (another childhood nickname short for Theresa)

My mom is “Mor Mor”, it’s Swedish

My mom wants to be called grammie or gammie

My son calls my mother MeMaw ❤️

My grandparents were Memaw and Pawpaw.
My parents are Mimi and Papaw Man

Nana and Pawpaw

My grandparents were Gramps and Grammy, but my SIL had kids first and took Grammy for her mother. My mom is just Grandma now, and my dad is Papa. My MIL is youngish so she decided she wanted to be Nana (naw-naw).

My dad went with grandpa and my mom with gamma

My sons grandma on his daddy’s side is Oma. German I believe... my mom is typical Nana, we’re Italian and Irish so common with both of those 😊

My mom is grandma but my husbands mom is "Nene" it's Armenian

My kids call my mom Gammie and their other grandma maw maw and their grandpa is grandpa or pawpaw

My mom is GiGi to my daughter. She's also called Gma and Grandma by other grands. Her paternal grandmother is Gammy.

My mom is Nima because kids in the family usually call her aunt Nini because her name is Anita. And my mother in law is Sitti which is Arabic

My mom is Gma ❤️ but my husband hates it lol

My son can't pronounce some letters so grandma is fromma and grandpa is umpa

My 4 year old calls his grandmother nonnie

My mom is Grammy. Not too imaginative.
But I used to nanny and the little girl I worked with (just talking) invented names for her grandparents, which confused us all for a while. Her parents were Mama and Papa and it eventually evolved her grandparents were Bama and Bapa. When we figured it out, she was SO EXCITED and way less frustrated😆 We all had a good laugh about it.

I myself just had "Grandma" (moms mom), "Grandma Mary" or "Grandma Alice" (dads mom and step mom), and "Grandma Flora" (half sisters dads mom) lol!

My mom says she's "grandma" and nobody better call her otherwise 😂 Not sure what the MIL will go with!

I like grams, cute but to the point haha. Or nonnie. Baba is interesting haha, MIL named herself Baba Yaga on snapchat so maybe she will go that route 😂 I know a few Oma's too. German for grandmother ❤️

My mom is Gramz and my dad is Pappy. My MIL is Mojie (a nickname she’s had) and my FIL goes by G

My youngest daughter calls her grandma (her dads mom) mimi and that was 100% on her she started it lol I kept saying grandma but she picked mimi. My mom is called grandma although she prefers grammie lol

My mom goes by nana or nana banana lol my exs mom goes by grandma thats about it lol

My mum is nanny and my mother in law is granny. My dad is poppy. I absolutely love the cute names some people have for their grandparents. I can remember a friend in high school used to call her grandfather popples.

I'm sure it's the mothers mum that is 'grandma' and the dad's mum who is 'nanna'. Tbh I let my mum pick what she wants to be called and she likes 'gran gran' or 'meemaw'. 🤷 My partner's mum had seen her 2 times since she has been born (5months) and those times were because of my effort not hers so if she doesn't want to make any effort she don't deserve no title💅

She’s been calling my mom nana since she was about 3 or 4 months. She only 9 months now so idk if that will change.

My husbands parents are gammy and pops and my parents are grandpa and tinks lol my oldest daughter started calling my mom that when she was a toddler and it stuck

Husband's parents are Nana and Papa Mike my parents are Dama and Papa

Glama 👠💄💍👑💅😎😂

My daughter just has a Grandpa

My daughter calls her grandad wawa for some reason, it cute

Gam gam & Nana

My mom is Nonna and my dad is Papa. My husband’s parents are just Grandma and Grandpa.

My mum is ‘Moo Moo’ and her Dad’s mum is ‘Nana Ju’ and my Grandma (my daughters great Grandma) is ‘Nuna’.

I’m sure it’ll all change when she’s able to talk!!

Mine is Mema

Nonna- it means grandmother in Italian that's what my nieces call my mom ❤

My daughter calls my mom Mimi and my stepfather is Peepaw for some reason lol even though the other grandkids just call him Pa. My father was Pépé. My daughter calls her father's parents Grammy and Grandpa.

My son is a huge Daniel Tiger fan, and in the show the grandpa is called grandpere (he's french), so we've been referring to my mom as grandmere lol

My parents are Yaya and Grandpa, his are Nani and Papa. When I was little I had Tutu and Granddad.

We call my mom nene...in my language it's nnenne which translates to mother's mother...so to make the pronunciation easier we say nene and my mom loves it 😊...

In the Philippines where I'm from, we have lolo which is grandpa and Iola which is grandma. My mom is called granny and my in laws are nana and pop.

My mom is GiGi to my kids.

Needing advice

I just found out im pregnat with my partner again

Curious about the screen time epidemic

Tell me what your family does

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Nursery and eating off the floor

My boy starts nursery next week at 12m. He loves to practice his pincer grip. He loves to practice eating. We just went for nursery taster and he spent the time outside trying to eat sticks and dried leaves. We stopped him but i was worried the nursery staff were too busy with the sick kids to notice.

Editing to add - there were alot of staff outside though and it wouldve been harder to be faster than us at stopping him eat things as we were both watching like hawks. They say they have 1:3 ratio of staff and that they would notice.

I'm really worried he will choke on something he shouldn't be eating but he LOVED being outside.

My partner suggested we ask he be kept inside until this phase has passed...is that too much?

Being too sensitive?

I wanted people’s opinions on this and wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation! My husband is being super sensitive over friends and families opinions on who our new born baby daughter looks like. I think it’s ridiculous we are even bickering over this and having heated conversations. A lot of people have said she looks like her dad but some are saying she looks like me and just because he can’t see it, he gets annoyed with them for thinking it. I had a friend that came round to meet her and she said “she’s 100% ALL you” (me), he found this rude and disrespectful. I don’t think it is at all! Everyone sees babies differently and everyone has an opinion. I for sure don’t get upset if someone says baby girl looks like her daddy. It takes 2 to make a baby and she is gorgeous so it doesn’t matter, I’m the one that grew and birthed her but I don’t take offence! We then had a deep conversation and he opened up to me and said because he didn’t have much growing up as a child, he just would have loved our baby to look like him and to carry his features, considering she’s his biggest achievement. He’s convinced all MY friends and family just want her to look so badly like me and not him. (He’s very good looking may I add). I just get anxious every time someone comes round now as I don’t know what they will say regarding who she looks like! This is something I cannot control. He should be proud she’s gorgeous, happy and healthy. What are your opinions on this?!

Does anyone homeschool toddlers 2-3 years old?

If yes can you share what resources you are using, where you find them etc…
