How about great aunts? Not that I let anyone use the "g" word in my hearing. I have also told dd I don't want to be grandma or nana. Not that she or her brother look like producing any time soon!!

We have a great neice who is 15 months old and as cute as a button. We don't see her too often (200 miles away) but she is very affectionate and not the least bit afraid of us even though we are relative strangers.

Yay Great Aunts are welcome too:DThe more the merrier:j:j:j

I still a bit weird being a grandma. But then, my 2 grandchildren are both older than my youngest two children. LOL So it can be confusing.

I don't see DS1 (& DIL)'s son much, as they live a few hours away. But it's great when we do see him. I just am wary of saying anything that might come across as overbearing and such, being the MIL and all. DGS and our 3yo DS are 2 weeks apart in age, so it does give us lots to chat about though.

DD's son is 4yrs and when he's here he tends to run riot a bit, sometimes bullying our 3yo DS. So I will admit to some frustration there. But hopefully he will outgrow it.

I think a lot of it is that DS1's son has a personality that is much more like DS3 than DD's son, who is more high strung.

I wish my MIL was scared of offending lol instead she says what she thinks and doesnt care if it offends or uspets me

(Sorry I'll leave you grannys too it lol)

My mother wasn't scared of offending either, she just didn't care how much animosity she caused, in fact the more trouble she caused the more she liked it.........

She ended up alienating the whole family and then had the brass neck to complain that no one ever went to see her, when she greeted you with' what do you want?' are you surprised??????
