Nope - I've been known to call DH "mum" by accident(!)

pmsl!

DH said goodbye to dd and me this am, he said "bye mummy" and I just said "I'm NOT your mummy"...

I find it cringe-making when couples do this when kids not around so want to nip in bud

DH does it to try to wind me up so I retaliate by calling him Pops.

DH came in from work last night and said, "Hello Mummy". I didn't even turn round - just replied, "Your mother isn't here!".

No just laugh, he obviously didn't intend to call you that as he laughed.

If it happens again maybe you could tactfully say that you think it sucks

Hmm if its by mistake then its quite funny but bleurgh if its going to become a habit - id find it hard to sh*g a husband who calls me Mummy.

Get quite queasy when MIL refers to DH's father as "Daddy"
