"Viral TikTok Sparks Debate: Is 'Grandma' an Outdated Title?"

A viral TikTok video revealed a mother-in-law's unconventional request to be called "Mama" or "Queen Mother" instead of "grandma," sparking a trend among baby boomers to opt for more modern and unique grandparent nicknames. Experts speculate that this desire may stem from a denial of aging, a wish to avoid traditional labels, or a desire for individuality. While it's important to respect a grandparent's preference, ultimately, the child's parents have the final say in selecting a suitable title, setting healthy boundaries and teaching their children the importance of respectful communication.
