This is sad since in todays society remarriage is a norm. some of my GKs have 4 sets of grandparents and they handle this just fine. To y DDs kids I am grandma, their dads mom is granny and her husband is poppy, their fathers dad is called grampy and his wife is nanabar. My ex and his wife are grandpa Charles and grandma Hazel because my children were raised by my husband and he adopted them when they were young. We try to keep all of them connected to every one of us as a different part of their lives.
