Young grandparents

[Starmum22]

So, I’ve just found out my 17 yo daughter is pregnant and I’m going to be a gran at 39! I’ve almost gotten my head around it but one thing I cannot do is be called granny or gran as it just sounds too old!

If you’re a young grandparent what do your little ones call you?

I was 44 last year when my granddaughter was born , I thought most names sounded old but we settled on nan .

Seemed the best of the lot and she’s now 9 months old and says nan nan about 100 times a day which I love .

My husband wanted me to be grandma! No way, I’m only 50... a nanny is a hired help, so I am Nana... which I love 💕

Congratulations...it is the best feeling. 🥰

My dad and his wife were both only 40 when my step sister had her first daughter. They went with Pop and Gran.

I don't see gran as being old. Lots of grandparents I know are gran. I find grandma quite old

My Dad has always been called Beardy. Was Grandad Beardy now just Beardy. My Mum is known as G nuts (Grandma Nuts) as she's a little bonkers in a good way 😆 A friend is a very glamours lady from Trinidad she's known as Nonna.

I was also a young grandmother so I went with Grandma as I liked it plus all the Nan, Nanny, Nana and Granny names were in use as the next two generations up were still with us.

DB. My Wife decided on Nan Nan and both Grandchildren use that expression.

I was 49 so not that young when our eldest grandson was born and we are Nain and Taid.

We are grandma and grandad , I was 47 when I became a grandma and wanted to be called grandma , the 13 year old middle grandson sometimes calls us Big G and Little G as a nickname 😂
I didn't feel any older or look any older by being called grandma I just embraced the fact that I was a grandma 😊

Whilst I wasn’t particularly young when I became a gran. My grandchildren call me nana Jacky. I like it, except for the youngest who at 13 months just says nana.
