What do your young kids call you?

[Ketryne]

DS (aged 4) settled on mamma as his name for me and I actually prefer it to mummy for some reason so have never encouraged him to change. I expect I’ll got straight from mamma to mum when he’s a bit older. But over the summer I’ve noticed lots of calls of mamma at every farm/zoo/soft play from children my son’s age and older which got me wondering if this was a genuine trend, or if I’m just tuned in to listening for it.

So what are kids calling mum where you are? Is this a regional oddity or just a case of confirmation bias on my part?

Mumma. They’re not that young though 🤣, a teen, tween and a 6 year old.

ive always been mummy and then mum!
My 5 year old granddaughter calls everyone by their Christian name 🤣 No matter what we say she still does it, has done it for around 2/3 years

I hear a lot of 'Mumma/Mamma' around here (London) but mainly from Eastern European children.

Mine called me Mummy and then eventually Mum.

Little ones mummy tween mum teen just grunts at me

It was mama during toddlerhood, then mummy- I think influenced by cartoons, and interestingly since they had a South African teacher in year one who kept saying ‘your mama’ we are back to that (8yo).
But also get mum now sometimes.
