    My kids just scream at my dad. For some reason, they don't like him one bit (yet).

    But *we* call them:

    my dad: Papa Reg
    my mom: Grandmother Patsy

    his mom: Nana Di
    his dad: Grampa Bob

    my grandparents have been calling themselves "The Great Grands" and both sets of them, who don't communicate one bit, started at the same time. Weird.

    These are cute everyone. I only had one grandmother that I knew and she was grandma. My friend's grandmother just died in January and she called her "Granny" I even refiered her as that, when I would ask about her.

    My dad = Papa (we pronounce it Pap-Paw)
    My mom = Granma, even though she's ready to be called Nana now that her mom (my Nana) has passed. That will take some adjustment on my part.
    My stepdad = Granpa Lee

    His dad = Grandpa (but its pronounced "grumpy" often enough that it might evolve)
    His mom = Grandma

    At first, DS called them PePaw & Amma. Now their Appa Jim & Amma Lori. When he's corrected, he says Grrrappa & Grrramma. I think PePaw was cuter!!
