At what point should you stop using "mommy and daddy"?
I ask this because I was just on FB, and on my cousins wall his mom wrote, happy birthday.... love Mommy and Daddy. He's 29 years old. I guess I find it a little odd since I can't even remember the last time I called my parents Mommy and Daddy or the last time they referred to themselves as that. It's been just Mom and Dad for a very long time.
Re: At what point should you stop using "mommy and daddy"?
I, too, can't remember the last time I used that. I find it rather immature for an adult to refer to their parents as mommy and daddy and for the parents to refer to themselves as that to an adult child. I do recall, however, in the planning stages of my wedding, a girl in her 20s on another board referred to her dad as Daddy and I called her out on that to be informed that it's normal. Whatev.
Yeah, that's a little weird.
That said, I still call my dad Daddy. Not in public or anything, but I do. I will also occasionally call my mom "Mama" (not in a baby voice or anything, but more in a joking "Hey Mama!" way). Overall though, they're Mom & Dad. And that's absolutely how they'd refer to themselves too. They'd never sign something "Mommy & Daddy".
And yes, I realize I'm a dweeb.
I'm with Merin, I will still call my mom "mommy" or "mama" but just in a playing way and not in public. I don't do it very often, maybe a couple times a year if that. She doesn't sign anything "mommy" or "mama" though.
