good grief, I must be pregnant, that brought tears to my eyes

Hehe I call my Mum and Dad Mummy and Daddy, only when we are goofing around or I want something tho lol. Both my Mum and my DF refer to me as 'the Mama' when they are talking to Isla lol ie 'here comes the Mama' or 'wheres the Mama gone' hahaha. Don't know why. I'd like her to call me Mama or Mummy. Of course Mum will occur when she gets 'too old' to still be calling me mummy. DF is Daddy cause it's cute.

Mammy here It's an Irish thing I guess.

I'm pretty sure it'll get changed to Mam or Mum when they're older.

Bizzy my grandmother introduces herself as Nana to everyone even to DH and people she's not related too, I think she'd be offended if anyone called her Joyce.

Since Dad has remarried I call him by his name more often though.

I call my Dad "daddy" when i want something LOL (seems to be a reoccuring theme ladies!) and I do call my Mum "mummy" when I am hurt/sick/scared and I am not feeling very grown up.

Jake calls DH Dadda and we refer to DH as Dadda or Daddy. Jake calls me mmm,mmm,mmm and very occasionally I get a mummum and we refer to me as Mummy or Mumma.

I dont care really, if Jake is still calling me Mummy at 10 so be it, chances are some kids at school will make fun of him for it and he will stop anyway....

I'm mum or mummy, depends on his mood.

I call my mother - mama or mum or mummy (sorry to gross you out LOL). Just depends on my mood, or what I'm greasing for ;-) I also call her grandma, crumbly, old lady, mater....

Sorry, "gross" was a poor choice of words

I should have said it makes me feel a bit uncomfortable (but even that doesn't describe it very well). Hehe. And I was curious about your answers so thanks!

My FIL always says Mummy and Daddy about DP and I when talking to Jude. As in "You know where your Mummy is don't you?" or something like that. Perhaps its the baby voice that does it as well..... Haha. But I didn't like "Mummy" before I had Jude, so I guess I can't blame it on FIL.

I also was surprised when I read on another message board about people calling their in-laws mum and dad. I didn't know there would be so many! In fact, it seemed as if there were more that called their in-laws mum and dad than those that called them by their first names. They must be pretty close. I like my in-laws but definitely would not consider calling them mum and dad.

Mum and Mummy here. Probably mostly Mum these days.
DH is Daddy although it has taken a long time to get the girls to call him that, the both started calling him Mark.

I have been getting Mumma a lot these days and I just cant stand it.. I dont know why but it bugs me. I tend to ignore her until she realised and calls me mum or mummy.

I could only ever call my parents mum and dad now I am older. I frequently end up calling them mummy and daddy and it just feels awkward

DH's Gran does this too. Introduces herself to my friends etc as Gran

I was called Mama, which I loved, now its Mummy but he is starting to phase in Mum which upsets me slightly. I was hoping to be Mummy for a wee bit longer.

I call my parents Mum and Dad but often call Mum a shortened version of her first name as we work together and don't want to call her Mum at work

I call DH's parents by their first names - there is no way I would ever call them Mum and Dad.

peanut, I hear ya on the Mum thing. Today at the shops it was all 'Mum, mum, mum where are you.'. What happened to mummy!!!

Oh I also use Ma for my Mum, particularly in texts lol.

I think the whole adult men calling their mum's "mummy" just reminds me of this hehe

I always refer to myself as Mama so hopefully Mac will learn that.
