What do I call my step grandma? ?

Question

Most of the time, I don't know what to call her. Should I call her like Grandma or by her first name? I don't know what my brother or cousins call her. What do you think?

Answer 1

Well ask her what she would rather you call her.

Alternatively what do you feel comfortable calling her? If you'd rather call her by her first name then do so if you'd rather call her Grandma then go with that I'm sure she wouldn't mind.

Answer 2

If you're on warm, friendly terms, call her Grandma.  It will help her to feel welcome, and it doesn't cost you anything.

Answer 3

what would she like you to call her?

I called mine "grandma", it's what the other kids called her and it was different from what I called my own grandmothers.

Answer 4

Why don't you ask her nicely what she prefers?  She would probably appreciate that.

Answer 5

I would do what you feel in your heart. I have step grandparents but, to me it is just like having another grandma and grandpa. i would do what feels best to you but, if you don't call her Grandma i would call her by her first name. Do what you think is best.

Answer 6

it really depends....if youre comfirtable enough to call her grandma or not...

Answer 7

I would go to her and ask her what she would like you to call her. she will understand your confusion and will give you the proper answer.

Answer 8

You could ask her what she wants you to call her. Or if you feel uncomfortable doing that ask your brother what he calls her and get his opinion.

Answer 9

her first name  

Answer 10

well this is a touchy subject .. this what we have done with the step grandchildren.

they call my parents grandma Pam and grandpa Jim .

this shows a level of respect by calling them grandma and grandpa .however it  shows  that they are not really their grandparents ..

they also call my brother daddy jim . it shows the same amount of respect to him and to their "real" father .  

Answer 11

I would call her by her first name.

Answer 12

I suppose it would matter how good you get along.  If you feel close to her, call her grandma  if your not sure, call her by her name

Answer 13

Well if i had step kids i would want them to call me grandma. Plus i call all my grandparents grandma!!!

Answer 14

Ask her what she wants to be called. :)
