to feel slightly queasy when a woman describes herself as a mummy?

[MardyBra]

I'm a mother, or a mum.

The kids called me mummy when they were little, but I find it too cutesy when a grown woman describes herself as a "mummy".

Especially on a blog.

Mum, surely?

Insightful. I actually had no idea it was such a despised word!
But that doesn't change my view. I am a Mummy!
MUMMY! MUMMY! MUMMY!
Hehehehehe

Doesn't bother me really, as long as the kids are still at the calling their mother 'mummy' age. Eg. if someone said 'Mummy to two gorgeous teenagers I'd be a bit
But can't say it offends me or I think about it regularly!

I have an Irish colleague who says "Mammy and Daddy" and it does sound a little strange to my ears.

DS has never said Mummy. When he first learned to speak it was Mam and now it's Mum.

I don't like it when people call themselves Mumma. My cousins wife is always posting to Facebook about "Mumma and Bubs snuggles time" etc.

Mardy I am also a bereaved parent and I don't think it makes you unreasonable if you don't like XYZMummy names.
