You know, we see all the time on TV these women who would absolutely FREAK out at the idea of being a grandmother any time soon, NOT because their kid throws away their whole life on one good time with a guy, but because they're too young to be a grandmother. Or like in George Lopez, 'I am NOT a nana, this is not the butt of a nana!'

Are women really that vain? Of course I imagine some are naturally, if you can think of something, there are people like it somewhere, but is it a common attitude among them?

Well, traditionally, "Grandma" has meant older woman past her prime....so I can see why some more vain women aren't too keen on wearing that title. Of course these days, you got women who're Grandmothers before they turn 40....so....

Exactly. Yeah, the idea of 'grandma' used to be a little old lady with white hair and glasses, etc., but that's hardly the case anymore.

Can you imagine a twenty-four year old grandmother? She had her child when she was twelve, then that child has one at twelve.

That is a crazy thought! I have known of a few women who don't want to be called "grandma" because of the stigma associated with it. One of my close friend's kid calls his grandmother "didi". I could not imagine being that vain. I have a stepdaughter, age 21, so due to her age, I stand a good chance to be a grandma before 40. I will be so proud.
