Kris Jenner refuses to be called ‘grandma’ at age 57: understandable or odd?

Kris Jenner

This is just a ridiculous story upon which I felt the need to comment. As we’re all quite aware, Kris Jenner has become a grandmother for the third time with the birth of Kim Kardashian’s child, Knorth West. Or at least, this is the third grandchild of which we are publicly aware. I assume that Rob “Tiny P-nis” Kardashian hasn’t fathered any children although he’s inspired one very ill-advised ass tattoo. Regardless of whether or not Rob has released any free-flowing swimmers, it’s not like this sudden change in familial status should be a shock to Kris, but she’s reportedly not taking it well these days. In fact, she’s laying down the law on her official title within the Klan. Instead of “grandma,” Kris demands that every one of her grandchildren call her “lovey.” Because she’s the next incarnation of Mrs. Thurston Howell III or something.

Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner, 57, loves being a grandmother, but she admits she is no fan of the title.

“She started off being called grandma, but now she has instructed all the grandchildren to call her Lovey,” a family insider tells Naughty But Nice Rob. “She has made it clear that she will not respond to the “G” word, so don’t say it. She is deadly serious about this. She does not like that word and has banned it from her life.”

The ‘Lovey’ of three will also respond to ‘Mrs. Jenner,’ however, she thinks the name she has created is better and more funky.

“No one wants to feel old. Kris certainly doesn’t. She looks great and feels even better. So why define herself by a title?” asks another family friend. “And let’s not forget, Kris is the boss so what she says, goes.”

[From Naughty But Nice Rob]

Honestly, and if we were talking about anyone else except for Kris Jenner, I would claim to “get it.” After all, I felt slightly depressed when my daughter switched from “mommy” to “mom” during elementary school, so she and I have compromised with “momma” instead. But this is Kris Jenner here, and she won’t settle for anything less than “queen of the Borg” or “lovey.” Is Kris out of line here? “Lovey” seems a little bit excessive of a demand to place upon one’s grandchildren.

    Who cares. Whatever she chooses to call herself, she’d an old hag

    • springingforward says:

      @Celeste
      Inside and out.
      Cannot wait for this family’s media coverage to go down in flames.

    • StormsMama says:

      Hahahha THIS

      Typical baby boomer generation thinking: she still sees herself as the center of attention and wants it to be about her. News flash: it’s not about you GRANDMA

      But hey my mom goes by YAYA to my daughter and my bros kids. It was born out of necessity bc my bros kids had 6 grandparents and it was “too confusing” to have 3 Grammys and Grandpas.

      Anyway this beeyotch is a narcissist of the worst ilk. Blech.

      • atorontogal says:

        I’m a Baby Boomer and I take acception to your comment. Are you saying all of us of that generation are narcissists?

        I have 5 grandchildren, I’m 51 and they all call me Nana or Granma. I have no issue with either.

      • Hpeeps says:

        What an assclown. I can’t with them.

    • Jacqueline says:

      I’m surprised that she doesn’t make them call her “Queen of F@#king Everything.” I do have a friend whose children call their grandmother Lovey – but I think the glaring difference is that it’s something the KIDS came up with…

    • Regina says:

      Kris is a bitch and Disrespectful To her stepson for not including him in the trip When she included everybody else

  2. Elisabeth says:

    I can think of a few choice words they can call her. Since they are children, they can just go with Pimp

    • brin says:

      Or Head Ho.

    • Nicolette says:

      I can think of a few as well, but I don’t think I can mention them here.

    • gefeylich says:

      How about “Madam?” They’re going to call her that soon enough, as her hogging the spotlight for one shining moment can’t last and she’ll contrive to put her grandchildren out on the ho stroll in order to keep some attention on herself.

      She’s supremely disgusting, and it’s disgusting that Fox has given her what she’s wanted for years, even to the point of pimping out her daughters in order to achieve it.

      Who watches her trashy show, anyway?

  3. lem says:

    i don’t get the refusal of the title of “grandma” period but especially when your children are in their 30s. at some point you need to come to terms with the fact that YOU ARE THAT OLD. no matter what moniker you demand, you’re still a friggin’ grandparent.

    • Andrew says:

      I HATE it when parents and grandparents determine what the kids are going to call them. The kids will call them something, and that should be their name. My nephew calls my mom ‘tiny’ and nobody tried to change it. Nobody told him to call her tiny, that was just the name he started calling her before he was even two. My cousin calls his grandma ‘mammy’. The mom tried to force him to call her gram like SHE wanted, but it never happened. Just let the children choose the name.

      • kc says:

        My nieces call my dad Jeff-Pa…I guess the oldest heard my mom call my dad Jeff and they tried to get her to call him Grandpa but she went with Jeff-Pa.

        When my little one talks I am sure she will fall in line with her cousins.

      • The real me says:

        My son named my mom “winkie”. We think after tinky winky – he was a teletubby freak. And my dad is “dad daddy”. He named them 11 years ago and it’s what my daughter calls them too. Their names are as unique and special as them and my kids.

      • Lem says:

        I love the many verisons that grandparents are being called.
        We had grandma and grandpa Last Name.
        I made the four Grands choose which they wanted to be called. Then the children evolved those as they grew. Wouldn’t change that.
        That being said I don’t think I’d take kindly to Granny, Mammy, MeMa.
        Names are individual. If PMK is going to cringe at Granny then call her ‘lovey’. Fine.
        When your grandaughter is called North – things already are untraditional

      • Jenny says:

        My dad didn’t really like grandpa either. Us kids lobbied for Grand-Bob, but he chose to go with Abba, Yiddish for grandpa. I don’t see anything wrong with it, although if the grandkids were committed to calling him something else, I’m sure he’d be fine with that too. Lovey, on the other hand, I find quite odd.

      • Relli says:

        me too.

      • Amy says:

        Jenny – Abba is actually Hebrew for father. (Saba is Hebrew for grandfather.)

        I will be perfectly happy to be a granny when it happens and will answer to whatever the urchins decide they want to call me, as long as it’s not anything mean.

    • Mary says:

      My brother barry was living with a girl who when they met had a one year old daughter. When she started talking, she started to call my mum Barry’s mummy and my elderly aunt who lived with my mum Barry’s other mummy. It was fierce cute. The little girl is 17 now and both my mum and aunt are dead but when she talks about them she still uses those names. It’s sweet.

      • Hakura says:

        @Mary – That. Is absolutely adorable! Awwww… Especially since she still refers to them that way. So cute. =) <3

    • Hakura says:

      I always called my Dad’s & Father’s parents ‘Mommom’ & ‘Poppop’. When I’d refer to them to someone else, I’d always just add their last names to it, so it’d be clear who I was talking about. xD

      My mom’s parents, I called ‘Gama’ (pronounced with a short ‘a’ sound), & ‘Papa’. I was the 1st grandchild (& had them all to myself for 6 years), so I got to decide what to call them, & all the others just followed suit. =3 Called my *great* grandparents ‘Granny’ & ‘PawPaw’.

      *Note – My Father passed in a car accident when I was 2, then my mom remarried 2 1/2 years later. So my ‘step-dad’ has always been ‘dad’ to me. ^^

  4. emmie_a says:

    So she ignores her little grandson when he might accidentally call her ‘grandma’?! How ‘lovey’ of her.

  5. Dawn says:

    Yep it’s her choice and when they are older and don’t call her anything anytime that will be okay too. But frankly I don’t see anything “lovey” about her; it’s all about putting money on her table so Gpimp sounds more realistic.

  6. mom2two says:

    My mother became a grandmother at age 40, much younger than this woman and she had no problem being called Grandma.
    If this is true, get over it, Kris.

  7. Jayna says:

    Some women I know in my neighborhood or extended family like to be called Nana. I would pass on grandma too at 57. My grandfather was always “Pop” to his grandchildren. I don’t know why that was. He was a wonderful, sweet man, though.

    • Naye in VA says:

      My mom is “Nana” too at 64. She’s had grandkids the early 90’s though. My dad is granddaddy with my daughter, but I don’t think ive ever heard the older grandkids actually address him by name.

      My daughter recently switched from Mommy to Mama. And at two I know she’s doing it to irk me. Because she corrects everybody else on it but herself lol

      • Lady D says:

        When my son was 3 he watched 101 Dalmations, and one of the pups referred to his mom as mother. From that day on, I was mother. He’s 25, and still calls me mother. I really wanted to be called momma but it didn’t happen. I hate being called ma though, just hate it.

    • Nicolette says:

      My Mom is “Nana” as well. We all call her that now, not just the grand kids. 🙂

  8. swack says:

    I understand going from mommy to mom is a bit upsetting. I would never allow my children to call me mother (too formal). But I don’t understand not wanting to be called grandma. I LOVE being called grandma. I’ve been grandma since I was 45 and I have never once felt it made me “old”. Age is a number and only a number. Also, what is with the name “Lovey”? Sounds like she’s Mrs. Howell from Gilligan’s Island!!!!

    • Lady D says:

      I’ve been counting the days since my son was 12 to be called grandma. I cannot wait.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I’m afraid this is going to sound self-pitying, and I don’t mean it to at all, but I wasn’t able to have children and now that I’m older, I would give anything to have someone call me grandma. I’d be proud.

      • Springtime says:

        No, you’re not self-pitying at all. I’ve never married and no children and due to being mid 40’s don’t see children happening in the near future. Yet thank God for my sister and I am now a proud Auntie and maybe he or his future children will call me Auntie Mama. I can’t wait!

      • swack says:

        I totally agree with Springtime.

      • kasxyz says:

        @springtime…I raised my niece when my sister passed I am so having her kids (when she has them) to call me auntie mamma!

  9. Mean Hannah says:

    My mother in law didn’t want to be called Grandma, either, and I found it annoying. She was 58 and didn’t think she was old enough in age and looks to be called that…and she wanted a special moniker to differentiate herself from the 2 other grandmas.

  10. blue marie says:

    odd, she is a grandmother whether she likes it or not. not being called “grandma” doesn’t make you younger..

  11. TeamBrandi says:

    My mom is the same way with my nephews and so is husband’s grandma. They want their own nicknames that signifies their grandma but not the exact work grandma. My mom is meemaw and my husband’s grandma is doña.

    Ugh kris jenner’s outfits are always so whack. I look at her and I get what she’s trying to accomplish with her outfits but for some reason it always comes up looking try-hard.ugh

    • emmie_a says:

      I’d waaay rather be called grandma than meemaw! To each their own.

    • Jessiebes says:

      About the outfits. They are lovely pieces of clothing and age appropriate, etc. And normally I would love the 50’s vibe. However somehow on her it just doesn’t work.

  12. Kiddo says:

    The Soup was pretty hilarious covering her talk show. I will only watch references which mock her and her family and nothing else. Apparently, GRANDMA’S show is the total suckz, and Bruce Jenner got bumped for a giraffe. They should all get bumped for a giraffe in my opinion.

  13. GiGi says:

    My mom is the same age as PMK – except my mom is awesome. Anyhoo – My mom is called Mim by the grandkids, which was just a happy accident from some family friends’ kid who couldn’t say her name. It’s cute, easy to say and was way less confusing since my kids had 6 grandmas (greats & steps included)!

  14. elo says:

    My mom is MiMi to her grandkids and my grandma is Lamma. Both of them despise being called grandma. I think as long as the nickname is easy to say there is no problem.

  15. JudyK says:

    I want to know how many MORE years Kris Jenner is going to be 57…what a joke!

    She’s a LIAR in addition to her many other “qualities.” She disgusts me on every level imaginable.

  16. blueanemone says:

    I’m not particularly fond of Kris Jenner or the term “grandma”. To me, it represents old, decrepit, rocking chair, and put out to pasture title. People can call themselves whatever they want, but I refuse to be called grandma. Call me bitch even, but not grandma.

    • Kiddo says:

      Definition of GRAND
      1
      a : having more importance than others : foremost
      b : having higher rank than others bearing the same general designation

      I beg to differ. It is a title of reverance and admiration. Which, in that case, is reason enough that she doesn’t deserve to be called Grandma.

      • RHONYC says:

        SSS-NAP! 😕

      • TG says:

        Oh this is good. I guess since they don’t understand the definition of north we can’t expect them to know what grand means. PMK probably wants to be called mom since she thinks she gave birth to the baby. She speaks about the child like it is her own. Never heard her crowing about the other two grandbabies.

      • Hakura says:

        @TG – “She speaks about the child like it is her own. Never heard her crowing about the other two grandbabies.

        I’m convinced there’s a very good reason for that. She has openly admitted that Kim is her *favorite* daughter. *Of course* she was more excited about her favorite’s child, as utterly disgusting as that is. =/

  17. TG says:

    I think Lovey is a term the British use for affection. I read so many books by Brits that the word is very common to me so I naturally call my daughter Lovey all the time as a form of affection and poppet too. Anyway I saw Kris Jenner aka PMK on Chelsea Lately the other night and Kris did say that she can’t stand to be called grandma and wants to be called lovey. She is so stupid. Chelsea also asked who her favorite child is and she said it changes daily and of course she said right now it is Kim. In all the years I have seen their show (shamefully now) she has not once mentioned any of her other children as being the favorite. It is only ever Kimmy. I find this part so revolting. She had no shame about how harmful it is to your other kids to show such blatant favoritism. I mean I know they are grown now but you know this kind of favoritism had been going on since the day Kimmode was born. That is why Khloe and Kourtney can barely tolerate her among other things of course.

  18. cloud&feather says:

    I’ve heard children call their stuffed animals “lovey” so it seems weird to me.

    My mother is “Grandma” to my kids. They chose it themselves. They call their paternal grandmother grandma, but with the addition of the first three letters of her last name. Which she chose.

    Differentiates the two.

    But not wanting to be referred to as a grandmother in anyway is pretty silly. You’re still a grandparent.

    You’ll be older way longer than you’ll be younger, grandparent or not.

  19. fabgrrl says:

    Oh she just wishes she could be as cool at Mrs. Howell! Not gonna happen, Kris.

  20. SamiHami says:

    When my brother & his wife were expecting their first child, my mother stated that she didn’t want to be called Grandma. She said that all through the pregnancy. She didn’t know what she did want to be called, but it wasn’t going to be grandma.

    Then the baby came and what does she say at the hospital? Something along the lines of “Oh, look at the sweet baby! Here, let Grandma hold her!” She’s been Grandma ever since (and is now a great-grandma).

  21. Sue says:

    In a million years I will never understand how this family has become so rich and famous. Who watches this crap?? Only in America can you be famous for nothing, only in America folks…..

    • uhh says:

      U are an idiot.

    • anon33 says:

      Explain Katie Price?

    • TG says:

      @Sue – Who watches most of the crap on TV? I can’t judge others because even if I wouldn’t watch Duck Dynasty, or any redneck show for that matter, The Bachelor, The Voice, or any other talent show, or anything on TLC, I still enjoy other trash on TV. Only in America can you have a show called Cops. That show is awesome. I love watching the trashy people get arrested.

      • Bijlee says:

        Duck Dynasty is awesome.

      • Sue says:

        Okay maybe I should clarify…. I didn’t say all tv shows were crap, I was referring only to the Kardashian series. I don’t understand how they have become famous….. Well there was the sex tape, I guess…

    • Nina W says:

      I don’t understand it either, Sue, the Kardashians are gross.

  22. Red32 says:

    So she would rather have her toddler grandchildren call her Mrs. Jenner than Grandma? or else what, she locks them in an attic?

  23. lisa says:

    considering her whole living is based on pimping out her children and the grandchildren wont be far behind, you would think she wouldnt mind reminding people of her KKK empire of dirt

  24. Deidre says:

    Well she hardly cares for anyone but her own greedy self absorbed life.. She doesn’t include anyone’s input when making plans; but uses you without concern.. she doesn’t worry about your feelings; she is constantly talking about herself and her problems.. in case you think she doesn’t have ambition she is wiser, smarter, more talented in getting her way.., she cuts you down and you owe her for caring just a bit.. especially harsh if you keep her from her goals in which she is the main character in the spotlight.. so yeah.. for a change, PMK’s entirely truthful.

  25. Mandy says:

    I personally would not want to be called “grandma” either. It does make you feel pretty old. There are plenty of alternatives that make much more sense. Who comes up with LOVEY? That just sounds stupid.

  26. seamstress says:

    Being called “grandma” implies a degree of human feeling.
    She needs a new name for it like “ceo-ma” or “pr-ma”

    • Jennabean says:

      Pr- am sounds kinda like karma to me so why not let the kids call her karma?? We all know that karma is a bitch! 😘

    • Jennabean says:

      Pr- am sounds kinda like karma to me so why not let the kids call her karma?? We all know that karma is a (got censored)! 😘

  27. Green is Good says:

    All i got out of this story is it’s all about PMK,
    not the grand kids.

    And 57? Who does she think she’s kidding? Helen Keller would be eye rolling over that!

    • JudyK says:

      Loved the Helen Keller comment. There are at least three (3) of us on this thread who know she’s lying about her age by approximately five (5) years, and I’m being kind.

      I’ve seen her real age in the past…it’s now been removed from Google.

  28. Trek Girl says:

    I don’t think there is a problem with it.

    I’m not a fan of the word grandma for some women. Sometimes that word just doesn’t seem right for them, and not for negative reasons. Coming up with another name is a great solution.

  29. mata says:

    I always just assumed everyone in the house called her Madam.

  30. Tulip says:

    I get it. I just don’t like her enough to enthusiastically agree with her.

  31. Whatwhatnot says:

    Whatever. I made my mom a Grandma at 55 years old and she was loving it! She ate it up. Bought onesies and bibs with those “I love my grandma/grandpa”-type sayings on them.

    I think it’s vanity on Kris Jenner’s part so in regards to her it’s just insufferable (as usual)

  32. Yelly says:

    She is freaking insane. Lovey? WTF?

  33. ReelChildofHell says:

    Off topic, but I read “queen of Borg” as “queen of Bong”…lol. And that pic of her blowing a kiss is disturbing.

  34. dorothy says:

    We forget, it’s all about her. Not her kids, not the grandkids,not even the husband… just her. Oh, and Kim.

  35. palermo says:

    Back when I watched their show, before I caught on to the horror that it is, you could see she had zero attachment to those grandkids. Mason never looked excited to see her. She doesn’t like them until she can make money off of them.

    • TG says:

      I agree about catching on to the horror. I too used to watch their show and liked their family dynamic and found them funny but started seeing how sick Kris Jenner is, especially with her daughter Kim. That relationship is so unhealthy. No matter how scripted or fake that show is they can not hide the truth about how sick Kris is with all of them especially Kimmy. It is so gross seeing how much she controls Kim and how obsessed she is with Kim and how many times she tells the world that Kim is her favorite. That is why I stopped watching too.

      • Jaxx says:

        I’ve never watched the show so I didn’t know she told the world Kim is her favorite. Jeez, that violates one of the most sacred rules of parenting. NEVER show you have a favorite. EVER. Much less say it out loud where your other kids can be hurt by it. She’s a real piece of work, isn’t she?

  36. Itsa Reallyme says:

    I think it’s okay if she wants to come up with her own unique name. We let our first child come up with his own names for his 2 grandmas and then stuck with those.

    I call all of my kids lovey though, so that won’t be my name when I’m a gram. 🙂

  37. Jennifer12 says:

    No way is this woman 57. She’s in her 60s. The media will buy anything.

    • JudyK says:

      Yep, she’s in her 60s…and one used to be able to Google it until the Kartrashian $$$ got it removed.

  38. fabgrrl says:

    Probably too close to “Greed-ma”

  39. Jayna says:

    That isn’t the issue. The issue will be when it’s obvious she favors golden child Kimmie’s baby over her other two grandchildren, Mason and Penelope. We all know that’s going to happen and probably already is noticeable to Kourtney even in this short period of time. Khloe will really get the shaft by the time she has a baby.

  40. Bodhi says:

    I don’t think its a big deal at all.

    My mom is 65 & doesn’t like being called Grandma. She wanted my son to call her Suzie like her siblings do, but we compromised on Grammie Suzie. My friends’ mom is Mumsie to her grandkids.

  41. Madriani's Girl says:

    Looks like old “Lovey” needs to have something done about her hands. They give her age away immediately.

  42. Lem says:

    My girlfriend just became a Grandmother @ 36.
    I have a step Aunt who was Great Grandmothered at 45 ish (can you imagine?)
    Therefore 57 is old! 😀

    • AceMom2 says:

      I became a Grandma at 37… I never gave a second thought to being ‘too young’ and always referred to myself as Gramma. That being said, as soon as my granddaughter could talk she started to call me ‘Goda’, lol. Nobody knows why, but she picked it & it stuck. 7 years and 4 grandchildren later, they all call me Goda….I love it!(I tell my kids it’s because I’m wise like Yoda.. only with a ‘G’, lmao) The great-grands call my mom GG (short for great-gramma) and she loves it too. It’s sweet when the kids pick what they want to call you.

      • Lem says:

        I <3 my GG & I agree with you completely. Goda is adorable.
        @ close enough to 40 myself, I can't fathom being a Grandparent but nor can I imagine having my own newborn. Due more to finally regaining some personal time than my age, I imagine. My friends are either having babies or becoming grandparents while I'm being wrung out by my preteen and my just teen.
        Currently I am enjoying not wiping anyone's tush. It's odd to me; my friends chasing babies while I am in the lounger all frozen drinks & "yep, nice dive, lovey"
        who knew? 40 is starting to look very promising!

      • Bbb1975 says:

        My cousins kids call their grandmother “GG” for gorgeous grandma

    • Lem says:

      To super duper CLARIFY after re-reading my own comment.
      57 is not old. That’s not what I meant. Old enough for PMK to be a grandmother without whining about being too young. That was my point!! Not that it was old but that it is certainly not too young to become a Grand.
      apologies

  43. Alarmjaguar says:

    OMG that crack about “the next incarnation of Mrs. Thurston Howell III” is genius!

  44. Hakura says:

    This disgusts me. *Not* because she has insecurities about her age, or because the title causes a sort of anxiety.

    But to actually *refuse* to acknowledge your grandchild speaking to you just because they referred to you as ‘Grandma‘? That is beyond selfish, & an exercise in total vanity.

    I see others have mentioned that ‘lovey’ might be a British term. But *my* first thought was that it sounded suspiciously close to ‘loveLy‘. Knowing Kris? She’d totally use her grandchildren for a cheap ego-boost, especially in public where people might overhear & mistake it the way I did. Ugh.

  45. Anne says:

    Now that the new prince has been born, if there WAS any desire to see the trash baby, it’s gone now. Hahahaha

    Pathetic that someone won’t own up to being grandmother.

    • Hakura says:

      @Anne – Joking or not, there’s no reason to call the child a ‘trashy baby’ (never a reason to insult any child… It’s not her fault she was born to a couple of deluded assholes.

      If you weren’t being serious, please disregard this. ..>

  46. Joe- Joe says:

    Of course she hates being called grandma,in this idiot’s deluded mind with all the millions of dollars she spent on plastic surgery,she actually thinks she can pass for 30.She doesn’t even realize she looks like a meltig mannequin.She tries to act like she’s their big sister and hopes we see her as one.

    “Give me a break Kris. Listen can you watch Angela for an hour or so? Please?”

    “Sure, just leave the cameras on. North can help Rob design more socks and I’m baby-sitting him anyway. Don’t roll you eyes, Kim.”

    I became a grandmother at 48. I don’t like the sound of grandma. That maaaa at the end always grated on me. It had nothing whatsoever to do with age or refusal to acknowledge that I had a grandchild. I chose to be called Nana. I love the sound of my grandkids calling for their Nana. I love being a grandmother. But I am not psychotic about aging.

    I think it’s cute when kids come up with their own name for their grands, but I don’t have a problem with choosing what you want to be called. Names are very personal and you are going to be hearing it for a very long time. The kids will call you whatever you tell them your name is so choose carefully.

    That said, I still think lovey is silly but she’s the one who has to live with it.

    My son doesn’t call my mother grandmother. We have a nickname for her and is a long story to how the name came up lol! My grandmother (rip) was the only one we called granny. it just felt weird calling anyone else granny or grandma.

  50. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    My mom has her grandson call her Gran-Gran, and my dad is called Papa.

    My aunt has her grandson call her Ya-Ya….I heard it was German, is that true?

  51. moo says:

    Pathetic. That’s what I call it…. you can tell all the Grandma’s who don’t want to be because they’re all known as NANA. Pathetic.

    I am a very proud 56 y.o. Grandma! No, I am not old…. just a very proud Grandma to my 2 year old!!

      What’s wrong with Nana? I called my grandma Nana and Grandma. She loved both.

      • Cyndi says:

        Same here. My Grandmother (I miss you!) was Nana, and she loved being a G-mother AND a great-Gmother! Until a couple of yrs ago there were four generations of us together. )o’:
        I guess they could call the old goat LoveyPMK. (o;
        One of her sisters became a G-mother at 30. She has always gone by Peppy, her name is Peggy. So now, all of her grandkids and every child their age or younger call her Peppy. (o:

    • Jayna says:

      Aren’t you special. You’re better because you’re called grandma. Judgmental much on who is a great grandmother. My niece’s and nephews’ grandmother on their dad’s side is called Nana, and she’s an amazing, very proud grandmother, loving, cozy, thoughtful, makes their favorite meals and desserts, or I thought she was wonderful until you taught me different. Thanks for the education. I now realize she doesn’t want to be a grandmother. LOL

      • lisa says:

        i think most people still think nana is a grandmother

        as opposed to lovey who is a castaway

    • Jaxx says:

      I think you are the one who is pathetic here, not to mention judgemental. Nana is not a name that hides being a grandmother. It is such a well known and common name for grandma that you can get all kinds of paraphernalia with Nana engraved on it. I have a picture of my grandkids sitting right here by my computer and the frame says Nana in big block letters. I also found bibs and onesies for my grandson with I love Nana on them. My grandchildren gave me a Nana charm for my bracelet just last Christmas.

      I am proud to be a grandmother and adore my grandchildren no less for preferring the softer sound of Nana over Grandmaaaaaa.

  52. Cool Phosphorescent Shimmer says:

    I figured the whole family just called her Pimp Mama Kris, just like the rest of the world. You mean the kids have a special name for her? Pimp Grandmama Kris?

    On the same topic, I wonder what the Middletons will be called? And Prince Charles? “Your Royal Highness Granddad”?

    My paternal grandparents were Baba and Dzedo (D mostly silent)–the Slovak words for grandmother and grandfather. My maternals were called Nana and PapPap. My parents are grandma and Dzedo (mostly shortened to Zed)…my husband’s parents are Nan and Pop. I think anything goes.

  53. nana55 says:

    My grandkids call me grandma, and I’m very proud of that name. My grandbabies mean the world to me, never ashamed or afraid to be called grandma. My daugh has 2 kids, my son has 3, they do however call their other grandmas *Nana* and that works for them.

  54. Mia says:

    I think it’s understandable that someone as shallow and vain as Kris wouldn’t want to be called Grandma. Hasn’t she been acting like she’s another Kardashian sister for years?

  55. Springtime says:

    I guess I don’t understand the negativity some see with being called Grandma or Grandpa. To me it is a privilege and honor to be called Grandma or Grandpa. You are the patriarch of the family. Some don’t even get to see their grand children whether young or old. Considering these titles demeaning is childish to me. This is just as bad to me as people who deny their true age. You should be proud of your age because someone didn’t get to see their next birthday and you did.

  56. Donna says:

    get over your NOT bad self, some women would love to be a grandmother and maybe cant have kids, or their kids cant have kids, get the fuck over yourself

  57. HalfricanQueen says:

    Good luck old bag. Lovey? Really? Also (as a speech therapist) the “L” sound is one of the hardest for little kids and can take a while to master. She’ll be “wubby” for a while.

    • jwoolman says:

      Yes, and then she will be Wubby forever! Well, until the grandkids are old enough to refuse to talk to her.

  60. Jenn says:

    I shall be called Mamaw, and I will love remembering my own mamaw when I hear it.

    She’s missing out on the best stuff ever being a grand.

  61. Janet says:

    Stupid cow. The day my little grandson, age 18 months, gave me a big grin and crowed “Gam-ma!” was one of the best days of my life. Gam-ma was over the moon.

  62. Katrina says:

    This woman takes greed, fame whoring, self love, and bitchiness to levels that would shame the devil himself, but I gotta admit, she looks good.

    On the Grandma thing, there’s no doubt that she’s a c*nt, (horrible word used only for those who truly deserve it.) but being a new grandmother myself, I opted to not use Grandma either. My three daughters and I discussed what I would be called, and chose a name before my granddaughter was born just as my mother did before her first grandchild was born. I don’t think you can really wait to see what the child is going to call you since I’ve already had to sign my name several times on cards and such. When I speak to my two month old granddaughter, I always say “Geema loves you.” or whatever using my name. I take care of her while her mommy works, and I certainly don’t want her, in the next few months, to be confused that maybe she has two mommies. I’m a very young grandmother, so she is mistakenly believed to be mine when I have her…especially since so many of my own friends are still having babies. Thank God I’m the Geema now and not having anymore of my own!

    • jwoolman says:

      That reminds me of my neighbor’s four year old grandson. He was chattering away once, talking about what sounded like GiGi but not quite (he was very particular about how it was pronounced and I never did it right, apparently). I thought maybe it was a dog, he’s an enthusiastic conversationalist but hard to understand. Turned out he was referring to his great grandmother, who is only in her seventies and supervises him a lot! They certainly needed a separate name for her to avoid confusion. I’ll have to remember to ask my neighbor or her mom what the real title is.

    Oh my gosh! My paternal grandmother was like that. When my brother (first grandchild) was being born, my aunt says that at the hospital she was focused not on the impending birth but on what the kid could call her that wouldn’t sound old. “Lovey” was one of her ideas, also. We ended up calling her Gram, I think, and avoiding her as much as possible (as you can see, since I’m fuzzy on the name). Thank the gods that she and her side of the family basically divorced us all once dear old dad skipped out and I no longer had to deal with traumatic visits. She was awful. Mean to everybody, broadcasting anxiety all the time, screechy voice, obsessed with looking young. She and her husband didn’t like kids and ruined her first two (including my poor jerk of a dad who was the oldest, a horrible fate in a dysfunctional family). Her last two turned out all right because by then she could afford to hire a nice person to raise them. She told me my father was adopted as a teenager (no, he wasn’t), trying to shave more years off her. She and her equally mean alcoholic husband signed to let him join the army at 17 in the middle of WWII, dad figured he would be safer in combat. She was very puzzling to me as a child. Everybody else had nice, comfy, gray-haired grandmas who baked cookies and liked children, and I was stuck with this one. I hated babysitters but begged to be left home on obligatory visits to the alleged grandparents. My brother remembers me crying a lot at her house, I remember my stomach in knots. Her husband just kept quiet, stayed in the office as much as possible when not kicking his kids down the stairs, and drank like a fish.

    Mason doesn’t seem too comfortable with Lovey Kardashian Jenner, either. My sympathies to all the grandkids. Their parents really need to keep Lovey away from all the rug rats.

  66. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    She doesn’t want to be called Grandma yet she stole my Grandma’s teefs.

  67. gefeylich says:

    OMG – it just occurred to me that this “lovey” business is because Jenner honestly sees herself as a young, hot piece! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

    It’s the reason she’s wearing those ridiculous dresses which are clearly meant for someone at least 20 years younger. She thinks that children calling her “lovey” will “maintain the illusion” of youth and sexiness. Bitch, that boat sailed years ago. You’re a lacquered, wrinkly, delusional old hag. Please see Madonna and Jackie Stallone for corroboration. Jesus H. Christ.

  68. Lauraq says:

    My mom became a grandma (not techinically-it was her husband’s daughter with his ex wife’s baby-and it later turned out that Dad wasn’t really the father-but for all intents and purposes) in her late thirties, but still accepted the grandma mantle. My sister has said she wants her grandchildren to call her Dita, because that was my childhood nickname for her, when I was too young to say Lisa properly.
