Another post got me thinking..
For those with 'step-parents'..
Hubbys parents got divorced and his mom recently got remedied, my kids will just call him by his name. Cuz their actual grandpa is still in their lives and I would just feel wrong for him to be grandpa also.
My parents are separated but my mom has a new borfriend that I do not like to he will not get any title. My dad is not and probably will never me part of my children's lives. He is a horrible person
My nephews call my MIL (who is their step-grandma) Gramma, and they call their biological paternal grandma, Gramma "last name", and I believe they call their maternal grandma, Gramma "first name" lol it's all sorts of confusing. They picked the names though and that's what I've decided to let my children do.
Mine is a little different of a situation, but my step dad raised me since I was 2, my biological dad was in the picture....but not as much as he should've been. They were both considered dad to me, and I call both of them dad to this day, so my child with call each of them whatever form of "grandpa" they choose :)
Edit: my mother divorced my step-dad whom I call "dad" years ago, and is now remarried. I call her new husband by his first name as I already have two dad's and don't need another. Me and him have had a rocky relationship and it's still kind of awkward, so I would prefer if my children call him by his name as well, but won't push the issue if they decide otherwise.
My son calls my stepdad grandpa because he has totally earned that title and they are really close. He calls my bio dad granddad when he actually gets to see him. He calls my stepmom by her name.
Edit: I also call(ed) my step grandparents grandma and grandpa. My son calls my stepdad's dad great grandpa.
My son calls my stepmom grandma. She is no longer with my dad, but has raised me and is more of a mom to me than my own (my mom and I don't speak, no relationship with my son). My dads gf is Nona, her daughter had a son 6 months after me and that's what she wanted to be called so my son caught on. He calls my stepmoms bf by his first name for now, but I love him and wouldn't mind giving him a grandpa type nickname if he wanted it. My family dynamics are odd but I love them haha.
He doesn't call them any thing different than what he'd call my biological parent. He also has a step dad and he calls him dad just like he does his biological father.
It's only different if u approach it that way. He 3 and knows he has 2 dads. He calls them dad. He has 3 grandfathers and for some reason they all prefer "pop-pop" so that's what he calls them. He doesn't know a difference between step and bio
My dh calls his step grandfather grandpa first name
His maternal grandfather grandpa first name
And his paternal grandfather grandpo nickname
He only calls his step grandfather grandpa out of respect for his grandma, but he doesn't like him and his mother only calls him by his first name.
All my parents have different names. Some they chose themselves. Others my dd chose for them.
My mom is Gram or Grammy.
MIL is Memaw.
Stepmom is Grandma.
My Dad is Grandpa.
FIL is Papa.
Stepdad is Pop.
They are all grandparents. My kids don't care if they are step parents to me or not. Family is family.
