As they have gotten older, they usually start saying just "mom", which makes me sad, but it would be wierd for my 11 year old son to call me "mommy". My now college age daughter called me "Mama" as a baby and little girl, then "mom" as a big girl, and now, shen she needs me, or is missing me, or just happy to hear from me, she calls me "Mommy", and I have to admit I do love that!True Daughter of Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497945822170843088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578146894523606813.post-71213388782636987202009-11-16T08:29:15.066-08:002009-11-16T08:29:15.066-08:00I grew up in the South, where Mama is the norm fro...I grew up in the South, where Mama is the norm from birth even until adulthood. Both of my parents still call their moms Mama. In the environment I'm in now, children call their parents Mommy until they're too old and then it's "mom." I do not like "mom" and am trying to train my almost-3 year to call me "Mama."Fun Mama - Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13482181499301423093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578146894523606813.post-85666698465896668702009-11-14T20:13:10.470-08:002009-11-14T20:13:10.470-08:00My first never called me mama-she skipped right to...My first never called me mama-she skipped right to mommy.

I agree that Mommy sounds whiny to me. Mama just seems warm and nurturing. <3Imperfect Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00373589597807322649noreply@blogger.com
