BMW Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Usually "mom". One dd likes to call me Moma (with a long o sound). I have no idea why. For a few years, I was "dude! mom!" Every single time they called me it was, "Dude... Mom!" I haven't heard that in many, many months... now I kinda miss it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 mine mostly call me "mama". Sometimes "mom", but being from the South it's mama. DD10yr called me "mama" until she was 8yr or so.

ChristusG Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 They both call me "mommy." Every so often, DD6 will call me "mama", but 95% of the time it's "mommy."

mommaduck Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Depends on the child. Mom, mama, and Etsi (ay-chee). I don't like "mommy". My mother was "mommy" even though I wanted to call her mama. As an adult I would call her mom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionfamily1999 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Everything, except Julie/Juliana. I've been Mrs. Lionfamily (except they use our last name ;) ), I've been Mum, Mome, Mater, Madre, Mudder, Ma, Mom, Mommy, Mamma, Mumsy (one of my favorites), ma mere, meme, Hey old lady, sister, woman, and a slew of other things. :lol: Dh rarely uses traditional titles for me. He does love to call my by my full name, but only when he knows it'll grate on my nerves. Mom, though if they really, really want something it's "Dearest Mother":) I used to call my mom "Mommy Dearest," but all I wanted was to raise her hackles :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KristinaBreece Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I get Mama, Mommy, Mother!, and Madre. They call my mother "Not Mom." Recently, DD has taken to calling DH "My Father" every time she speaks to or about him. It comes out like this a lot: "Mama, I need my Faffer." I love 2-y-o speak!

redsquirrel Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 For some reason, my kids have always called both their father and me by our first names. My husband and I talk to each other using our first names, not mommy and daddy, and when ds1 was a toddler he phased out of mama and dada and started using our names. When ds2 came along, he joined right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silliness7 Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am Mommy, Mother, Mom, Momma, and Moms depending on who is talking to me or what kind of mood they are in. Moms is an invention of my 6yo but sometimes the 8yo will copy her. I have no idea where she came up with it. Momma is the exclusive domain of my 2yo. Mother belongs almost wholly to my 12yo. So I am Mom or Mommy to everyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 My steps call me "Mom", my daughter calls me a combination of Mommy, Mama, and Mom, my little one... Mommy or Mama... or MOMMMMMM, My husband is a simple "Dad" although my daughter (his step) says "real dad" for him :) when she's trying to be sweet... "step-dad" when he makes her mad... I call my mom... mom, mama, and mommy :) I call my dad... Pops or Daddy or Dad... I started Pops when I was younger... a term of endearment.

Mama Anna Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Our girls call me "Mama" and dh "Papa." I was sort of picky about this because of my own growing-up years. My mom called both my father and her father "Daddy" when she was talking to me. Now, my dad is a wonderful, godly man. Her father was an abusive jerk. I can't tell you how many times she seemed to be accusing my father of dreadful abuse because she would switch topics really fast in a conversation or compare the two men or something. It used to really give me whiplash as I tried to sort through what she said (while she was still speaking) in order to figure out what exactly she was accusing my dad of doing. So I figured way before we had children that my kids would call my dh something different than what I called my father growing up. That way if they heard me talking about both of them in one conversation, they would have no problem following. Of course, the situation is different for them because both my father and their father are good, godly men, but the decision has stuck anyhow.

MamaT Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am Mama or Mom. My dh is Pops or Dad. My oldest son calls my dh Captain. I have no idea why, but he has done this for years. I called my mom "Mother" and did not have a great relationship with her, so my kids know that if they call me Mother they might not get a great response.
