What do you call the grandpa's new wife after he and grandma divorce? [closed]

After grandma and grandpa divorce, grandpa marry another person, what do you call the grandpa's new wife? Do you call her grandma?


Solution 1:

According to several dictionaries, she would be your "step-grandmother".

stepgrandmother (plural stepgrandmothers)

  • The stepmother of one's father or mother and the wife of one's grandfather, usually a woman that one's grandfather marries after the divorce of one's grandparents or the death of one's grandmother.
  • The mother of one's stepmother or stepfather.

In a more personal context, it really depends on what you want to call her by.

I don't think anyone would personally call their stepmother "stepmom" either, that sounds both awkward and derogatory.
