meaning - What is おばあちゃん子?


I attempted to find the meaning of



おばあちゃん子



but it seems that it does not exists in the dictionary.


What does it mean?



Answer



It is a child who grew up liking and spending lots of time with his/her grandma.



Even after that child has fully grown up, s/he is still often referred to as 「おばあちゃん子{こ}」.


Naturally, we also say 「おじいちゃん子」、「パパっ子」、「ママっ子」、「お兄{にい}ちゃんっ子」、「お姉{ねえ}ちゃんっ子」, etc. as well.


Nothing to do with blood family, but we also say テレビっ子 to describe a kid/person who grew up watching a lot of TV. There is 「ラジオっ子」 as well, but it is used less often than 「テレビっ子」.
