I loved my Grandma and have wonderful memories of her. My kids only one lives far away so they rarely see her. She insists on being a nana. I am always so sad for my kids that they don’t have a proper Grandma. Why should this name be any more flexible than mom? It’s not about you, so get over it and be a good Grandma.
