Mother's Day!

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on the board!

Also, I've been noticing on Facebook a lot of grown children (all female) who still call their mother's Mommy.  I know it doesn't matter, but it irritates me.  Also I have cousins who call their mother by her first name.  What do you call your Mom?

  • It's usually mom, but sometimes it's mommy. I hate when people call their parents by their actual names. It makes me want to slap someone.

    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

  • I call my mom Mom, and DH calls his mom Mama. I thought it was sooo strange that he called his parents Mama and Papa haha.

    I worked with my mother in an office for years through out college, and I had to call her by her real name to be professional. It was one of the hardest things ever.

    I call my mom all kinds of joke-y things - like Mommy, Me-Maw, Maw, Mum.

    I agree with everyone else on calling your mom by her first name...it just sounds weird!

    That would be hard!  I'd probably just be like, "Excuse me," or "Hey, lady"

  • I call her Ma, Mommy, or Mom.  DH calls her Momma.  It drives me nuts when I hear kids call their parents by their names!
