View Full Version : What do you call your parents/grandparents?
Janice 01-20-2005, 05:24 PM I always called my mother Mom and my father Dad. When I was a kid and wanted my own way, I'd moan, "Come on, Maaaaa".
I never outgrew calling my father Daddy as a term of affection. If I gave him a hug or kiss on his birthday, a holiday or if the mood struck, I'd say, "I love you Daddy".
I called my grandparents Nana and Grandpa. My husband's family calls the grandfather Noni (Naw-nee).
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-20-2005, 05:29 PM It's weird calling my dad "dad" so I call him Bob and occasionally dad and I'll call my mom "mom"
For my grams I call them both Gram

Janet McFarland 01-20-2005, 05:42 PM I've always called my mom and dad "mom" and "dad" :lol: I call both grandmas Nana and my one grandpa Nonno (I think that means grandpa in Italian)

dawsongirl 01-20-2005, 06:17 PM Depends on my mood. :lol: Mom and Dad or Mommy and Daddy. :D I'm still a little kid at heart.

Hollow 01-20-2005, 06:51 PM grandma and grandpa on my mom's side, "nanny" and "granddaddy" on my dad's side. i didn't choose those names.

-*Forever*- 01-20-2005, 07:08 PM I call both my grandparents Grandma and Grandpa. If I'm talking to someone about them, I'll distinguish - Grandma/Grandpa Cornell or Grandma/Grandpa Culhane.
My mom is either Mom, Mama, or Mommy. Dad is Dad, Pa, or Daddy. There was a very long period of time where I called them Mumsy and Father-o, but I gave it up one day. I wish I could go back, but I can't get back into the habit.
Mr. Television 01-20-2005, 07:09 PM I always called my parents Mom and Dad and my Grandparents Grandma and Grandpa.
*MIBabe03* 01-20-2005, 08:13 PM I call my parents Mom and Dad.
Maternal Grandparents- Granny and Gramps.
Paternal Grandparents- Grandma and Grandpa.
Brian 01-20-2005, 08:28 PM I call my parents mom and dad. When I'm with other people, I prefer using "mother" and "father", especially if I'm introducing them to someone else.
I call both my grandmothers "grandma" but I've called my maternal grandfather "Grandpop" since 1996. I just call my other grandfather "grandpa."
I don't think I have ever called my father "daddy." I don't think I liked that word even as a little kid.
TheHappyBurgerMeister 01-20-2005, 08:50 PM I call them Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma- yeah, real exciting!!
But I noticed when you get to a certain age you're allowed to call your parents by their first names. Like my mom now calls her mom by her first name!
MandieR1980 01-20-2005, 10:46 PM Mom: Mom or momma
Dad: Dad or HEY! (if he's not paying attention)
Grandparents: Gramma, grampa
Greatgrandmother: Grammie

I don't know anyone who does, I'd never feel comfortable with that.
*Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-20-2005, 11:19 PM I never had a grandpa :( but I call my grandmother GramFor me, both died when I was young...so I really never got to aquire any sort of name for them. I think since I use Grams, they'd be Gramps
MissZero 01-20-2005, 11:25 PM For me, both died when I was young...so I really never got to aquire any sort of name for them. I think since I use Grams, they'd be Gramps
I think I would use Pop
spunkygirl 01-20-2005, 11:41 PM I call my dad "daddy" but I feel like a kid doing that, so at times I call him dad, but that sounds weird to me, so I revert back to "daddy" :crazy: My mom's not alive, so my stepmom I call her by her first name.
Grandmother-Grandma
Grandfather-Grandpa

Janice 01-21-2005, 01:24 AM I always called my in-laws Mom and Dad too. It never bothered me until I lost my mother. I don't like calling anyone else Mom, but what can I do.

Caroline13 10-30-2022, 04:49 PM Read thru most of the thread and most are kind and respectful comments of parents, until the last 2 and the sequence was broken. and wouldn't you know it a couple harsh male members came thru. Couldn 't resist my comment.
