Step-Grandparents - what are we calling them?

My son is almost two years old and is very loved. He has my husbands mum and dad in his life. He also has my parents, both of which remarried when I was 22. So I’m not that close to my step dad or step mum. When I refer to them to my son I just use their names because that’s what feels comfortable but I’m getting the sense my step mum wishes to be more but thinks I’m not up for that. I know if my son called my step mum “grandma” or whatever my mum would be put out. I hate all the politics and wish I didn’t have to deal with it. Is that selfish? I just wondered what other people do.

This is what I done but both had different meanings ie grandad was just grandad, grampy tom was stepdad.

DM's partner is "Uncle David" or "UD" for short.

Not his actual name
