I was an only child for 10 years, when I was very young I began called my Mother "Mother Dear" and did so until her passing at 83 years. My sister always called her "Mom". Our first grandson called me "Baa Koo" ? We never knew why
But fun to tease him about that, he will be 28 this year

Oh my Mother was always Mother. My Father was Daddy. I thought I would never mind what my grandkids call me but Grandmother isn't one of them. For some reason, i do prefer that but no such luck. Great grandsons too! It really doesn't' matter, just that they call me. My son calls me Mom.

My siblings and I called our Mother , Moma, but we each had a different way to spell it, lol. My daughters called me Moma when little Now it's just Mom. The grands call me MeMe ( a nickname from childhood, its what all my neices and nephews call me also)

I called my mom "Mommy" when I was little and then "Mom" when I was older. The Grandma's were Gramma Frances and Gramma Mitchell. Don't ask me why we called one by her first name and on by her last. That's just what we called them. It might have been because my mom never liked my dad's mother and always tried to keep us from being too close to her.

We called our mother mummy for years. Switched to Mom or Madre when I became a young teen. MUmmy was for little kids! My grandchildren call me by different names, Manueau, or Reba. Sometimes one of the little boys will call me Gramma, but that is teasing on their part. It is one of my favorite names!!!
