Just to manage my expectations of when I might regain sanity, when does the Mummy Mummy Mummy MUMMY MUMMY Mama MUMMY stage end? DS is 3 and it is non stop every single day.

When you tell them to stop it & ONCE is enough.

Mine are 21, 18 and 15 and I still get 'Muuuuuuummmm?' Several times a day

Mrsjayy · 20/11/2023 10:28

about 25 I wish I was joking 😂

Needmorelego · 20/11/2023 10:34

Yeah....it never stops.
I don't know how to do links but look up the Family Guy "Stewie Mumumumumumum" clip.
I can't stand Family Guy but I love that clip.

Mrsjayy · 20/11/2023 10:39

I mean dd sends me it in gif form because she thinks it's "hilarious "

wineandmaltesershappyme · 20/11/2023 10:41

Mine is 7 and i still get that, even when Daddy is standing next to her! and he's a fully capable hands on parent.

MadamVastra · 20/11/2023 10:43

Well let's just say mine are 22 and 28 and when I hear it I still look around 😃

they are allowed to ignore you but you must drop everything and answer the mum call 🙄 😂

My DS is 2.5 and he will come and find me in a different room to get me to take him to the toilet even if he’s standing right to next to DH.

(DH will tell him that he’ll take him, but apparently only I am a suitable companion)

Yours are 40 and 30 and therefore you haven't been interrupted every two minutes for at least 10 years, probably much more. And grandchildren get handed back at the end of the day.

I do not enjoy it. I tolerate it because it's part of parenting a four year old so I have to.

Defiantlynot41 · 20/11/2023 12:13

Reminds me of the Jen Brister sketch

LaChatte · 20/11/2023 12:24

My eldest is in his 20s and he now says mother 😅

SabrinaThwaite · 20/11/2023 12:27

Just wait until it changes to “but WHY though, but WHY though, but WHY though” on a constant loop.

MermaidEyes · 20/11/2023 12:28

When they hit their teens and it becomes 'motheeeeer' 😆

roarrfeckingroar · 20/11/2023 14:34

Thanks to PPs for those clips. 100% Stewie. I properly laughed at Jen Brister.

Thanks for getting it.

I was half expecting a flurry of "my child wasn't born with a mouth, you don't know you're born you ungrateful witch!!!"

Omg DD is 5 and shows no sign of letting up. Was in the middle of getting dressed the other day

DD: muuuuum! Mummy I need you!
me: 2 seconds, I’m just getting dressed
DD: MUM! MUM!
me: hang on:
DD: mummyyyyyy it’s REALLY IMPORTANT
me: sprints downstairs half dressed
DD: look at this big grape I found

Needmorelego · 20/11/2023 15:21

@riotlady mine is 15 and has to constantly show me kittens on TikTok ("it's important mum - you have to look")
I let that go.... because....well it's kittens.

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/11/2023 15:31

Some days it's my most hated word and I fantasise about going to prison.😬

roarrfeckingroar · 20/11/2023 16:11

I sometimes worry I'm going to accidentally scream FUCK OFF I HEARD YOU out loud
