How do you (or did you) address your grandparents?

When I was little it was nana or nanny.
When I got older it was nan.

I referred to my paternal grandfather as Grandad
My maternal grandfather as 'father' because that's what everyone else called him - although it was said in a rather contemptuous tone cos everybody hated him.

Can I just take this opportunity to tell everyone that I loved my paternal grandmother with a passion that knew no bounds. I still miss her to this very day and there is a vacant hole in my heart which still hurts.

I never knew my grandfathers but we called our grandmother Grandma. If we were referring to them in a separate conversation, it would be Grandma (surname).
My kids call my mother Grammy.

It's good to have loved someone like that. I loved my father that way.

Nan
Grandad

I'm Italian so I address them in my language.Nonno for my grandfather and nonna for my grandmother.

Mom and dad (I was adopted by my paternal grandmother and her second husband, my step-grandfather)

Grandma and Grandpa.

grandma.... I never knew my grandfathers.

"Nanny" for one grandmother.

Granddad. Not one d, but two That's my mother's father, who I infinitely despise. His ex-wife, my grandmother, is currently clinically insane and in a mental facility in California where she is kept on steady drugs. We don't much call her anything. He married once more, to an Asian tycoon-daughter person named Julia who committed suicide off the Golden Gate Bridge.

On my father's side, his dad was a spy for the U.S. government in the World War II who got offed eventually. He's survived (that obituary really creeped me out, Juliw) by my crazy rich old grandmother who we call Neen with the multiple-thousand dollar cats that she openly loves more than her grandchildren and annual plastic surgeries.

So my family's fudgeed up. Oh well

On my father's side, Vah Voh, and Vah Voo. In Portuguese it's properly avó and avô, but my family was from the Azores, so I'm not sure how much the shift was a form of Portuguese baby-talk, and how much was regional dialect, which is quite different.

(The two I know) Nana and Papa.

**hug** This survey reminded me of my paternal grandmother, my Vah Voh, too, and I ache to think of her.

mamie et papie

*In perfect Edina Monsoon voice*
Nan? Nan?
Can't you call her something a little less Eastenders?
Like NeeNooooooo?

granpa and gramps

My 2 grandmothers are still living. I call my paternal grandmother, Grandma, and my maternal grandmother, Grandmother. I called my paternal grandfather, Granddaddy. My maternal grandfather died before I was born, but the grandkids all called him Papaw.

My parents are called Pops and Mamaw by their grandkids. Me, my brothers, their wives, and my fiance all call my Mom Mops. So, it's Mops and Pops to us. We thought that was kind of cute.

My uncle's grandkids call him Heydad. He wanted to be Heydad because everytime one of his kids' called him, the first thing they would say was Hey Dad.

There are so many different names grandparents go by. I knew my 2 great-grandmothers on my father's side. One was Mamaw and the other was Babs. Babs was unusual and nobody remembers why we called her that, but everybody did. Even her mail lady. Oh, Babs' husband was Grampy to the grandkids, but I never knew him. My Mom's grandmother was called Big-Big because she had a big mouth and talked all the time.

Okay, let me shut up now!

Grandad, Granma. Nana and Chris.

i havent seen my grandparents in a long time.

Popa & Pa

"My maternal grandfather as 'father' because that's what everyone else called him - although it was said in a rather contemptuous tone cos everybody hated him."

Why was that?

He was a violent man. And I suspect a child abuser but that skeleton is still in the closet.

Grandma and Grandad

Nana and Grampa
Nana and Puppa

I just picked the closest spellings.

Grandma and Papaw

What goes around comes around.

In the material world there are 3 types of miseries:

Miseries caused by the body & mind.
Miseries caused by other living entities.
Miseries caused by the forces of nature.

Please chant:

HARE KRISHNA
HARE KRISHNA
KRISHNA KRISHNA
HARE HARE

HARE RAMA
HARE RAMA
RAMA RAMA
HARE HARE

mmmm, I actually tried that. Quite comforting.

Alternatively try:

I TAKE THE BUDDHA AS MY REFUGE
I TAKE THE DHAMMA AS MY REFUGE
I TAKE THE SANGHA AS MY REFUGE

three times

Buddha=teacher
Dhamma=teaching
Sangha=community

Both grandfathers liked to be called 'Grandad'. My maternal grandmother likes to be called "Nana", my paternal grandmother likes to be called "Grandma".

Grandma and Grandad.

I am galad I could help. Hare Krishna!

Grandma and I never knew my grandfather (but there isn't an option for that)

Grandpa and Grandma. But its actually more like "Gramma and Grampa"

I feel the same about my grandfather. I love him so much but in a way I hate him for dying - how dare he leave me to face the world without him.

I call my Grandma on my mom's side Muggo and my Grandpa on my mom's side J.J. or Muggo John.

Tutu Kane ........is Hawaiian for grand-father
Tutu Wahine .......is Hawaiian for grand-mother
Also Popo is Chinese for Gand parent.

Mom and Dad. They adopted my sister and I after our parents divorced.

grandma, grandpa, oma, & opa - which is German.

Here is one that wasn't on the list. When I was very young I addressed my one grandfather as Old Grandpa.

Bee-yatch and OG.

Gran

Pappa, Nanna, and Bubbie; one died before I was born.

Unfortunately, I never knew my grandparents very well. My Paternal Grandmother died when I was 8 years. My Paternal Grandfather, when I was in my early teens. They lived approx. 2 hrs. away. But we did see them, and they were lovely people. My Maternal Grandparents, I saw last when I was four years old. They lived in the midwest. I never saw them again. It really saddens me that I never became close to my Grandparents. I am very close to my grandchildren, even though four of them live within one to two hrs. away. The other two, I see almost every day. They are all so precious to me. When I did see my Grandparents, I called them Grandma, and Grandpa.

I didn't speak English with my grandparents.

Omie and Opie

I called mine Grandma and Grandpa- but my kids call my Dad Opa(german for Grandpa) and thier other Grandparents are Mamaw and Papaw.

Nana and Papa.
