To really hate the phrase 'baby mumma'

[MrsHelsBels74]

And all variations thereof. It just bugs the hell out of me.

I don't think I've heard "baby mumma"

YANBU. It makes me think of the Kardashian's for some reason.

its baby mama no?

A baby mama (also baby-mama and baby-mother) is generally defined as a mother who is not married to her child's father,

I have loads of times its used as in "my baby mum" as in my son/daughters mother. Yep i also have a name of my own btw!!!!!!! ie miracles mum, grrr, i have my own name!!!

baby daddy is equally as vomit inducing

YANBU

It is a vile, vile phrase. For some reason I automatically assume that anyone using such phrases is in a very casual relationship but has for some reason decided to have a child. It is trampy.

Yes baby daddy is horrid too but I'd just heard baby mama when it struck me how awful it is!

This was said on Jezza this afternoon. Made me cringe

I've only heard it said by Americans. I don't like it.

Twofaced, I was too ashamed to admit that's where I heard it! Although I think he said baby mum. And I honestly couldn't think how to spell mama, hence using mumma

Mama as in "baby mama drama"

Akibabaandthe40nappies you are not wrong there. Horrible phrase.

Yes it is baby mama it is usually used by a father referring to a lady he has a child with but is not in a relationship with as with baby daddy.

babay fatha is worse.

I think it's from Black American "gang" culture? I've only heard it because I'm obsessed with The Wire at the moment - it's what the drug dealers/gangsters say about the mother's of their children.

I would assume anyone who said it in the UK was being ironic, but then I don't watch Jeremy Kyle

I hear it on Maury chat show and sometimes britflicks or programmes never actually hear it said out loud though, people can say I suppose their is worse things you could call a mother of a baby. would the posh version be baby Ma ma

Ooh I love The Wire.

Yes it's awful. Very American. Americanisms in British accents make me cringe.

It is vile and akin to calling a baby a bubba.

I think the phrase 'baby mother' is from Jamaican culture.

18 years, 18 years, had one of yo' kids, got you for 18 years.

Have also heard mums being referred to as a 'baby mo' and a 'baby mother' tis quite common were I live

Ha ha ^^ yes indeed Hazel - Love a bit of Kanye too must start having more highbrow interests

18 years, 18 years, had one of yo' kids, got you for 18 years.

oh I now have Jamie Foxx singing in my head

Babymother/babyfather commonly used in jamaican culture to describe someone you have a child with but are not married to, it doesn't necessarily mean someone you aren't in a relationship with them at all. it just means not married to.
