At what age did your dc switch to mum instead of mummy?

[Cherryup]

Or your regional variants!

Ds is 9 and still calls me mummy (which I love) but I've noticed most of his friends now say mum.

Is there a 'normal' age to switch to mummy? Was it child led or did you encourage the change?

I just don't want him to ever be made fun of.

About 6. He calls me mama (posh version) when he's messing about, or Mother.

I still get Mummy from 18yo DS1 if he really wants a big favour I think they mostly swapped about 8ish? DS2 is 10 and it doesn't feel like TOO long ago he was still calling me Mummy.

My 4yo started calling me Mum at 3 and his little sister copied him, she was 2 at the time 😳 but weirdly they've reverted to a mix of Mum, Mummy and Mama. Mummy is used the least

DCs are 10 and 8. I'm still mummy

Around the time they started school, we encouraged them by starting to refer to each other as Mum and Dad rather than Mummy and Daddy, I never really liked Mummy.

My 10 and 8 yr old call me mummy. I refuse to answer to mum. But I often hear my 8 yr old refer to me to his friends as mum. Compromise.

Still Mummy at 10 and 12 unless in front of friends

I’m still mummy to my 13,11 and 9 year olds.
I call myself mum to them though but they’ve never taken to it. DH is still daddy too.

DS(28) - Mum from about age 12
DD(24) - Mummy
DD(23) - Mummy
DD(15) - Mum from about 11
DS(10) - still Mummy or Mama

Ds (16) calls me mummy or mummyyyyyyyyy when he wants something.
Dd was calling me mum at 2.
She started copying her brother after a bit, now calls me mummy

Mine are 13 and almost 15 and both still call me Mummy

I don’t think there’s a particular age. My 11 year old calls me mummy at home but if we go out or her friends are nearby she says mum. I naturally stopped saying it out of embarrassment myself around 9/10. They tend to decide themselves when to stop. I like that it’s lasted so long though, I know a few 4-6 year olds who only say mum.

Dd is 14 and I am mummy or mama. That’s quite normal among people we know (London). I don’t like mum!

The girls call me mummy (17/20) and the boy child calls me Mother Dearest (18) 🙄
I actually don’t mind either, which surprises me because I thought it was bloody weird listening to the odd posh adult friend calling their female parent ‘mummy’. And now apparently my children are the weird adult friends. Which is disconcerting.

Eldest (22) still usually calls me mummy. Younger 2 switched to mother in their mid teens. I can't be mum apparently because that's what I call my mother

My eldest 11 still calls me mummy but had recently changed her phone to mum as she's started high school and calls me mum in front of friends.

My 5 year old called me mum a few times in the months leading up to turning 5 but it's now firmly Mummy which she uses non stop, and like punctuation 😂😂
She says Dad when she is putting him right.. Then rolls her eyes 😳 which I hate and tell her not to. A review and reduction in screen time swiftly follows.

Still mummy at 7 & 9 although my 9yo has high functioning ASD so isn't too bothered abòut conventions. His class isn't bothered that he'll hug me and hold my hand either (I help out in school) He's just the smart eccentric one.

I grew up with "two mums" so had mummy x and mummy y until I was about 12, then found it realky awkward as "mummy" sounded babyish but mum didn't suit their names. I'll tend to talk about my mum and my mother now.

Thanks for all your experiences, seems around 10ish there may be the switch, I'll just follow his lead.
