Mum or Mummy?

What do you prefer to be called?

I far prefer Mum. Mummy and Daddy seem to irritate the hell out of me. I can tolerate very small children saying it but once they get to a certain age - say between 8-10, then I think it becomes a bit grosser. Even WORSE if it's an adult talking about their mummy or daddy. That makes me cringe. In my mind Mummy comes across as a little bit disrespectful. Jude will be taught to say Mum....

When growing up, we called our parents Mum and Dad or Mama and Papa (Maori version of Mum and Dad). I think DP used to call his mother Mummy sometimes and only did it to take the piss (and now sometimes does it to wind me up )

But thats just me What about you?

I love being a mummy, the kids can call me that for as long as they like.

I call my parents Mum and Dad now I'm an adult...it's a bit gross adults calling thier parents mummy and daddy lol.

To Clodagh I am Mummy or Mama. DF is Daddy usually. I thought most kids outgrew this and shortened it to Mum and Dad once they hit about 6/7?

Im not mum , or mummy , im "muuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! " followed by
" I want "
"can you "
or "please get me ...."

I used to be mama, now it's mummy and sometimes mum. It makes me a bit sad though when he moves onto the next stage of being 'grown up' by using a different word!! I can't imagine him still calling me mummy as an older kid, the thought of adults calling their parents mummy and daddy creeps me out.

Prepare to be grossed/creeped out or irritated then peops cause when I'm getting along with my mum and dad I pretty much always use daddy or da and mama. My other dad gets dads. It's only when I'm actually talking directly to them but yep thats what I use.

Jake calls DP daddy or 'WAAAAZZZZZZ' lol DPs nickname is Razz y'see I get mummy or mumumumumum!!

Rowan has started calling me Mum instead of mummy. I think they naturally grow out of it so I wouldn't sweat it.

Atm I'm mummy. But not from him obviously

I'd like to be mama or mum once hes talkin!

I call my mum by her name when I'm being smart but now I call her nana lol
I don't ever remember calling her mummy

eeeuw Bizzy!

Yeah HM affectionate term for me too

I get Mum, Mummy, Mumma from DS, DH gets Daaaad but mostly Daddy!

I still call my Mum - Mummy sometimes (quite a lot), but I think its prob an english thing - it seems a lot more common over there. I have a g/f in London who still calls her Mum "Mumsy".....very posh family though....
