Do you say Mum or Mom and where do you come from?

[Flossflower]

I apologise if this has been done before. I have always said Mum or Mummy and thought everyone did. On these threads I often see Mom or Mommy. I know this is the US version but it seems that it is more than that. I have assumed these posts have been written by AI or similar using US English but maybe that is not the case so please can you tell me what you call your mother and where you are from.

Mom, from Bham

I know, it makes me cringe 🥴

Mum, Mummy (when young) or Mam or Mammy. Mums family were Irish. We live in Yorkshire.

Mom is definitely used within the UK and isn’t an Americanism.

Mother or My Bloody Mother if talking about her. Haven't spoken to her in a couple of years, but would usually say Mum or Mother depending on her behaviour at the time.

Sorry, forgot to say I'm from the West of Scotland.

Mom.
Obvs.

Mam - South Wales

@Azaeleasinbloom What’s a toonser? Tried Google and Niobe the wiser.

I say mum, but most for this area would be mam (Northumberland).

I say mum and from derby. Now live in Solihull and they say mom. DD made me laugh as she wrote mom on her schoolwork (too much US tv) and when I asked her she said they must have thought it was Brummie. She was born in London so defo not 😄

I say both . I’m Canadian so I learnt it as mom . I try to say mum while in the U.K. ( I’ve been living here most of my adult life) but I sometimes write mom by mistake .

I say Muvva and I'm from south London (transplanted to Mater-land).

@Anotherillnes Toonser in North East Scotland refers to an Aberdonian - from the city . It is a faintly derogatory term which all the Tcheuters ( pronounced Choochters) who live rurally or in the smaller towns would recognise.
I live semi-rurally now in West Aberdeenshire, but I am most definitely a toonser to those born locally 😂

Mum, I'm in Dublin. I've heard Mam, Mama, Mom.

I don't care though, people just call their Mum what their mother told them to call her.

It's weird, I think Mam is a bit more family specific rather than region specific. My whole extended family uses Mam yet when I was at school my best friend called hers Mum. DH is a Highlander and uses Mum yet one of my friends is from the Highlands and hers is Mam.

I grew up in East Midlands and say mum. DH is from West Midlands where we now live, so DC say mom and write mom in cards to me because it was DH who was writing the cards and helping them when they were too young to do it themselves.

Mom. West Midlands.

Neither

Mam- North East

Mum. But she was from W Mids and referred to me when talking to DD as ‘your mommy’. It was subtle, cos she’d lived elsewhere for years, but it was there.

I say mum (from London), DH says mam (from Northumberland), DD says mum or mam (born in Barnsley)

Mam.

Durham.

Neither. I say mam and I'm from Yorkshire.

Mum, Liverpool.

Mam - Newcastle upon Tyne

From Wolverhampton. I say 'Mom' but always write is as 'Mum' which feels weird, but we were taught that Mom is American.
