Evolution from Mummy to Mum - what age?

[MoggyMittens23]

I feel like we are at the point where Mummy is too babyish but Mum feels too grown up!

My 14yo still calls me mummy, but dad is definitely dad.

27 with one DD, DD2 never called me mummy 🤷‍♀️

My youngest is 9 and has been calling me mum for a couple of years.

Think I've always been Mum, find Mummy a bit cringey tbh (especially when spoken by adults in a posh accent 😂)

My grown up DC still call me mummy, I like it.

My DD was two!!! I was so gutted. She’s now 6 and mostly calls me mamma (which is better than mum)

Same with me. I found it excruciatingly embarrassing bringing friends home from school and would try and avoid asking my parents for anything while friends were there in case I had to call them mummy or daddy. Once I called my mother 'Mum' in front of a friend and she condescendingly replied 'Mummy if you please'. I'd already suffered bullying at school and this was just another stick for the other kids to beat me with. My parents knew this but refused to allow a name change.

With my own kids, it was a natural progression from mummy to mum around late primary school. They still call me mummy sometimes at 25 and 23 in a jokey way though!

Mamma or Maa (Maa is hindi for Mum), have never been called Mum or Mummy, oh wait, my youngest uses a mixture of Mamma, Maa and Mam'za.

My dm became Mother when I was 12, otoh my df was Daddy until he died when I was nearly 31.
Was in the nw and he was from Sunderland, called his df Father.

This is exactly my Y7. We still refer to ourselves as Mummy and Daddy, though. I thought we'd have moved onto Mum and Dad by now, as I was about 5 or 6 when I stopped with Mummy and Daddy, but we're still here, and after almost 12 years, it is just a natural thing for us to say now.

I was reading said Y7s messages when he was at the end of Y6, and one of his friends had sent to the group chat 'mummy and <sister> are arguing'. Thought it was interesting that he'd comfortably used Mummy in front of his friends. No one said a word about it, so it may have been a common thing in that cohort.

Dc1 was about 10 when she switched.
Dc2 was about 5 (so before Dc1 switched as Dc1 was 8 at the time) but went through a stage about 10-15 calling me Mamma (she was into old books)
Ds about 8 or 9 out loud, but used to still call me Mummy in texts. He sometimes calls me Mother, normally when he wants something.

Since they were teens I've just been plain old Headstones. Not sure how it happened but I like it much better.

Caribbean family here. We all still use mummy and daddy.

My 11 yo only calls me Mummy when she wants something, otherwise it’s Mum with an eye roll.
My 8 yo has always called me Mama which I hope won’t stop anytime soon.

I'm still mummy to 17 & 14 yo. Son shouts motthheeerrr in a silly high pitched voice if he's commanding my attention from upstairs 🙄

Six year old varies between Mamma and Mummy. Occasionally tries out “Ma”, fuck knows where he got that from, I feel like a hillbilly when he calls me that

Dd11 (yr 6) calls me a mix of mummy and mum, but only uses mum when around her peers.

I don’t know. My sons are 28 and31 and still call me mummy. I always called my mother mummy though too.

I noticed that and yet in the Republic only "posh" people would use Mummy.
It's usually Mam, Mum ( or Ma which I personally hate ).

I'm in Wales so I get Maaaaaaaammmm

I am ‘mummy’ to my 8 yo and ‘mama’ to my 5 year old. Neither has tried ‘mum’ yet!

I'm 33 and still call my mam mammy

DS was around 9 years old when mummy stopped.

Never been a fan of ‘mummy’, reminds me of posh people/aristocracy. Although I do refer to myself as Mummy RE the dog hahahaha

My 11yo has switched overnight to Mum and Dad, considering she’s now taller than me it was probably for the best. Or “Muuuuuver!” when she’s bellowing for something…
