What will your LO call you?

KLJ3 · March 2013

Eh, it's 2:30am and I'm more awake than I'd like to be, so I'm doing a spinoff of CNJ's post below.

What will your LO call you [and your SO, if he or she is in the picture] if you can help it?

I've been having an aversion to "Mommy" lately, so I think I'd prefer "Mama." [Part of me would rather go with "Ma" for pure entertainment and the old timey factor, but I can't commit to it.]

DS calls me momma and has recently started saying "ma", I don't know where he got that one from. Hopefully little man will follow in his big brothers footsteps.

LO will call me mama and DH baba (Greek)

DS calls us mama and papa. Except lately he has started calling me mom sometimes! He's 2 on Saturday, and I don't know where this came from.

DH calls his parents Ma'am and Sir (sounds way more formal and emtionally detached than it is... he's really close to both his parents).

I call my parents Dad and Mom (and depending on my mood: Ma, Mummy, Mum, Mama, Mother).

Just traditional mommy/mama/mom and daddy/dada/dad, however he starts saying it. We have 2 dogs that we already say mommy and daddy for so it doesn't sound weird for us.

Growing up, everyone else referred to my mom as "mother"... "Wave bye-bye to your mother!" "Here comes your mother!" So even though I think of them as "mom" and "dad", I really called them mother and dad most during my life. Part of that

Our plans with our first child was Mom/Mama/Mommy and Papa for her dad (he is Swedish), but she is now 17 months and has her own plan. She calls DH Daddy and me by my first name! It is so weird. Hopefully she will break the first name th

I will be maman and DH papa. That's how I call my parents.

Lolalipsy · March 2013

Plain old Mummy and Daddy. I do prefer Mammy which is a northern thing.

Erica&JoeyPlus3 · March 2013

Marni calls me Mommy,mom,or Mama,

CNJ4EVA · March 2013

Probably Mommy and Daddy, but if it turns out another way I am okay with that.

MrsJ723 · March 2013

DS calls us Mommy and Daddy, although when he first began speaking, it was Mama and Dada.

c-elizabethf · March 2013

Mom, mommy, momma....dad, daddy, dada.

Charlie never really called us mommy/daddy, it's always just been mom and dad. I'm assuming this one will be the same, since she'll always hear him say it.

Exactly.

1and1is3 · March 2013

I prefer Mommy for me but Idk what DH will want to go by... This reminds me that we should discuss this lol.

motang · March 2013

My LO calls my husband dada or daddy and I'm mommy. We're pretty traditional and boring with our names.

Mommy2CB · March 2013

Our DS1 calls us mommy or mama or daddy or dada.. He kind of decided this.

We did pick names for the grandparents and he seems to have stuck with them.

hogrefea · March 2013

We're Mama and Papa to our kiddos.

burkems · March 2013

LOL- galspesh and Old Glory - that happens with my 2 1/2 year old way more often than necessary.

DD started off with mama, then mommy, now she calls me either mommy, very occasionally mom, and my personal favorite, mama, but in a southern accent.

I believe that is the first case of precise simultaneous posting in May 2013

alohamora · March 2013

Probably just Mom and Dad.

AddysMommy2011 · March 2013

DD calls us mama and dada because it's easy for her to say. I'm sure LO #2 will do the same.

jennyshawn0808 · March 2013

DS calls me momma & every once in a while mom. He calls DH dad

starshineamator · March 2013

Good question! Spouse is already referring to himself as "Daddy" in reference to her, when he talks to her and stuff, so I think that may be his choice, even though we've never actually discussed it. It is all still so weird to me- I haven't referred to m
