To get irrationally irritated by adults referring to themselves as 'mummy'

[Stuckonthebaby]

Now I don't mean to their kids - my kids call me mummy and I refer to myself as mummy to them when relevant.

BUT it really grinds my gears when adult women refer to themselves as 'mummies' to other adult women. Try and arrange a night out with the girls; it's a 'mummies' night out; introducing yourself to another woman at playgroup; 'Hi I'm X, Y's mummy; talking to about parenting on social media; 'becoming a mummy is the most amazing thing ever' - blah, blah, blah.

It drives me crazy. I don't know why. Maybe it's just so childish and twee. I can't stand it. Can't say I've ever heard dads referring to themselves in this way. AIBU?

I call my friends girls, e.g. "going out for a girls' dinner"

That because we have known each other since we were 13 (a far back as 5 in some cases) and we genuinely deludedly think of each other as girls

I call my friends girls too.

This is because I have not accepted the fact I have grown up, in spite of being married and having two DC. I know we are women, but it just sounds wrong. I try, but it doesn't work well for me. I still don't know how I ended up married with DC. It just sort of happened...
