Re: Grown people calling others "mommy".
I think this is a pretty extreme response.
My high school boyfriend called his mom "mommy". He always did and he still does. He's 31 now, I run into him occasionally at the mall and I usually ask how his parents are (I was with him for a few years, his parents were nice). He always says "mommy is [insert how mommy is doing here]".
He was a HUGE momma's boy.
My little sister calls our mom "mommy"... but that's only when she wants something.

It is bizarre that this recently started. It seems so...regressive. If it was something that had always been, I probably would not think of it as so odd.
I grew up calling my mother "mummy", but have not felt comfortable with that since I was a preteen. It has been "mum" ever since. I am sure I called my dad "daddy" when I was very young, but I am pretty sure that recently after my parents divorced (when I was 7) I switched to "dad", and that has how I have referred to him since, even though we have pretty limited contact.
My stepparents have always been known to me by their actual names.
Eh, my mother is "Momma" and my father is "Daddy." Momma's in her 60's and she refers to her father as "Daddy." Maybe it's cultural.
Don't like it, oh well. Not to sound b*tchy but your issue- not mine.
Now tell us what you really think.
I think to call it out of the blue is wierd, but I still call my Mom Mommy and my Dad Daddy, but I have said this since I was a kid. My uncle and my Mommy called my Papa Daddy all their life and still call him this.
However, for a grown man to wake up one morning and say Mommy and Daddy hmmmm different.
You must not be from the south. Everyone calls their father Daddy here. Grown men and grown women.
I think the regression to "mommy" is really bizarre.
This, on the other hand, is totally normal. My husband and I refer to each other as "Kitty Daddy' and "Kitty Mommy" when addressing the cat.I stopped calling my parents mommy and daddy when I was six or seven, though I did start calling my dad "daddy" again when he was in the hospital dying as I was a teenager. But I think THAT particular regression is understandable.

Is he trying to be funny, or is he really calling her mommy?
If I were her, I'd start calling him 'Sonny Boy" every time he called me mommy.
