The fact that it bothers you enough to dear FB on here says more about you that I think you intended.

Or we ever cared to know.

Feel like it’s not that crazy. If someone had kids in the early 20’s and their oldest has a kid in their early 20’s

Who gives a shite what people call their grandmothers?

That doesn’t affect me in the slightest. You may in fact be the one with emotional issues.

My mother was "Grammy" till one of my nephews started calling her Meme because he couldn't say grammy, so it stuck... That was about 40 years ago.

Just another example of cbree88's emotional problems. Lol


Nah, just because I posted it as a discussion topic on an online forum does not mean that I’m highly emotional or distraught about it. That’s quite a conclusion to jump to.

I don't know anyone who calls their grandmother Mimi. Does an affectionate name bother you? Did you not have a loving grandmother.

Fun fact, she was once on the tractor and came across a cotton mouth. She went to kill it with a hoe she kept with her and pulled a disc in her back that resulted in surgery which then resulted to other issues that was eventually caused her to die.
