I am really angry and annoyed by this. The partial grandmother keeps referring to us as gran and and grandad and then using our first names on the end. I have asked her not to do this and also told her son to ask her to stop.
She does not listen and so it continues and my daughter says what the problem it’s not such a big issue. But I think it is and we feel it is disrespectful to us both. Now their children are starting to us this and we are having to correct them which I don’t think is fair and also confusing for them. Also she just likes to be known has nanna.

Kids work it out for themselves, one set of grandkids call us granny and grandpa because my husband reminded them of grandpa pig from peppa pig 😂 the other set call us grandma and papa even though we are actually their great grandparents. When referring to my daughter , their actual grandmother they will call her grandma suzy but when talking to her she is just grandma.so much fuss about a name

I’m confused by this, are you saying that she calls you for instance Grandma Joan, or Nanna Emily, what do you want to be called. Mr and Mrs Whatever ?

No, I think the OP just wants to be called ‘Grandma’ or whatever, without the Christian name being tacked on.

And it’s more a case of the other GP blatantly ignoring her wishes which is extremely annoying and frankly rude.
