I think this is how it usually does work, but they need something to start with. Some families are very strict with what to call members. I have a friend who's grandchildren actually call her Grandmother. I can't imagine being that formal. That's just not us. My mother did require that I call her Mother, not Mom or Mommy. If I tried other names, she would correct me. Her granddaughters however called her Grandma as I've stated, above and she was happy with that.

We'll see how it all works out.

BTW, we're still waiting.......
