Inspired by a Nest Post on Relationships. "Am I Being Selfish?"
For those of you with adult children - do you think that your grandchildren will consider your new spouse to be a grandpa? Or would you expect them to identify the difference in the relationship somehow, like Grandpa Mike?
My kids call DH by his first name. That is how they were introduced to him, way back when, and it is how it is. Neither of my kids is old enough to be married or independent enough to have kids. But I would fully expect him to be called Grandpa or Papa. (I want to be Nana). I guess if my kid were adamant that he be Papa firstname, I would go with the flow. I just assume that their bio father will have a different grandparent name, if they even have a relationship with him at that point.
Do you think that a deceased parent needs to have a special name reserved for them once the grandkids come? ~Donna
