I'd hate to be called granny too, I'd rather be called Grandpa. :lol:

I started getting 'granny' off Michael when we knew my eldest was due - after a few times of being called it i don't mind, though i call my mums mum nana, so it's just a case of what you feel comfortable with, and i'm a 43 year old granny lol

congratulations too :D

A friend of my Grandmother was asked "Whats it like being a Grandad?" "Fine" came the reply, " It's being married to a Grandmother that I object to"

Mrs G always prefered Granma, as a granny down here is a thing that spins on top of a chimmney pot, I was always Grandad, I now have a new Grandson, he adopted me, and I am known as Grandad Billy to him, and I miss him already :)

My mother got my kids calling her "crazy granny" my X's mother was the "normal" and boring granny.

Me, well I'm called "crazy granny mark2" but thats quiet a mouthfull for my 6month old grandaughter so we'll see what she comes out with.:lol:

My mum and stepdad wanted to be called grandma and grandad. I call mum granny to wind her up sometimes though :lol: Recently my stepdad has referred to himself as gang gang to my son and it be very funny if that stuck :lol:

My partners parents want to be called dadysma and dadpaba (sp not sure how to spell them yet!) Thats quite a mouthful so shall see what my son chooses to call them.

why not take it to the other extreme and insist the grandchildren call you by your first name?

One lady who was in my class at school was a mum at 16, a granny at 32 and a great granny at 48- she got round it that way.
