To say I'm not your fucking mum?

[DrewBerry95]

Argh, fed up of seeing people say "you got this mama" or something along those lines on Instagram/FB!

Or answering a post and calling you mama/mumma

I'm not your Mum. You didn't fly from my Fanny flaps. Only my son gets to call me mum/mummy and even he wouldn't use a wanky phrase like 'mama'

AIBU?

I've never seen that, nor had it directed at me. Strange.

Francis I'm he genuinely surprised you haven't seen it used

Nothing wrong with mama.

Gives me the rage

Yabu

Ive never had or seen that either.

This wasn't the typical MN response I was expecting tbh

Thought you were all more grounded folk

YANBU OP. It grates on me.

A child using the word doesn't bother me obviously.. it's adults that use it like you describe.

I don't associate in Kardashian style circles on social media. I assume it's a follow on from all that madness...

Cows Thank you. I'm surprised people are saying they've never seen it used!

It doesn't bother me online. In hospital for a week after giving birth when several nurses felt the need to call me 'mum' was pretty weird.

Especially as I am (wankily) 'mama' not 'mum' to my kids.

Francis just seems to have become a very
popular word among generic Mum groups, for some reason

YABU Mumma

Mama is awful, as is Mumma.

I loathe hearing it.

Mumma is horrible. Fanny flaps is worse though.

I'm in one nutso WhatsApp group (anti vax etc) and they say this ALL THE TIME, usually to comfort the person whose ebf 10yo won't stop hitting them.

Maybe get off social media then? 😬

When health visitors and the like are talking to you (especially in front of other adults) and go ‘what does mum think’?? I DON’T KNOW GO AND FUCKING ASK HER

Mumma is horrible. Fanny flaps is worse though

This ^^

That said, I've never seen it either.

What's wrong with mama?

Some people get worked up over the most insignificant things.

I never knew people thought mama was wanky

It is odd hearing English people say Mama (sounds forced sometimes), but no need for it to enrage you.

We lived in Germany when my children learned to talk so Mama is natural. When in Germany I would refer to a child's mother as "Katie's Mama" but over here I would say "Katie's Mummy/Mum".

I've never seen mums calling each other Mumma/Mama, though - so perhaps I'm missing the point.

White nothing, providing the person calling me it is my own child and not a grown adult using it as a wanly term of endearment
