Mummy mummy mummy MUMMY

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.

Enjoy it! He thinks you are god. Come the teen years he will think you are the devil.

Not a mum but I always smile on a bus when I hear Mum again and again and feel like turning to the mum and saying " change your title to something unpronounceable!"

Ah, remember it well, its just an automatic setting for some of them I think. And in some I'm not sure it ever goes away....
Just checked yesterday's call log - my youngest, now 22 and living away from home, called me 6 times, sent 1 video on WA and two normal texts. I would say this was very much average for her. But it's honestly not unheard of for her to call between 10 and 15 times a day, just, "I'm on my way to the corner shop, thought I' d give you a call. '' or" I'm on the Overground going to work, ugh, hate it" or "OMG I've just done another piece of my jigsaw!" kind of stream of consciousness stuff. She's had a really really shit time of it though, in ways which are not mine to share, and it's just her way of stretching out a hand and checking I'm still there.
Other DD, bless her, once a week?

I'm lucky although I don't always feel it because my kids have both left home and I miss them! One lives in Glasgow and the other is moving to London soon. My husband and I have encouraged them to go and live their lives to the best of their abilities as you only get one life! So while you're complaining about your kids needing you try and make the most of it while it lasts because they don't stay with you forever and you may miss them one day!

I've posted a similar answer, I am just waiting for the insults to start pouring in but I am relieved to hear that I am not the only one - so thank you ♥️

This!!!!!!!! Mine is 3 and I am happy that she can talk but dear god if I never hear “mama. Mama! MAMA!! MAAAAMAAA!!!!!” again it will not be soon enough.

I still get the occasional 'mummmeee' in a WhatsApp..35 going on 36..😂😂😂

Mine have never been like this. I remember a mum friend being so annoyed by it she taught her daughter to say excuse me instead, it was so much worse! And it meant she did it to everyone not just her mum! Sometimes I get a mum or mummy followed by a long pause waiting for me to say yes even though I'm in the room with them and I'm their only mum and usually the only other person there! That frustrates me and I tell them just to tell me the whole sentence!

I'm waiting for my child to be diagnosed for asd in a couple of months time who is completely non verbal, I would do anything for him to call me "mummy" once. I empathise with you though and can imagine how frustrating it must be to called 10000x a day but I promise that this "annoying" stage passes by before you know it x
