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?

.....Fanny Flaps....after that turn of phrase , mama is a blessed relief.

Never seen Mama been used, or been called it! Seems quite American too - can't say I'd like to be called it though, but to each their own

Not keen on mama or mumma. Plus I grew up calling my grandma mama (pronounced MAM-ahhhh, not m-mah) so it's weird to sees mums refering to themselves as it.

Like people in shops calling you honey 😳Im not your fuckin honey

My son has always called me Mama, he's in his late twenties now.
His fiancee also calls me Mama, I think it's lovely, not wanky at all.
She hasn't got a mum and must be very comfortable with me.

It would be weird if a stranger on the internet called me Mama though, admittedly.

Another one who has never heard it used in that context

I like to imagine it's said Jane Austen-style, with the accent on the second syllable.

As in, "Mamma, Lieutenant Wickham is coming!"

My son calls me Mama, but I can kind of see what you mean OP (although frankly you could have expressed yourself better).
I'm on a whatsapp group with people like this. I thought it was a joke initially. Nothing wrong with trying to encourage one another but what's the problem with using people's first names? For some reason I never feel the person is being very genuine about what they are saying. Not really sure why...

Only called mum by midwives. 20mo DS calls me mum (2468542 times a day) & mumma when cuddling. "Fanny flaps" is a thousand times worse than Mama. Urgh

YABU to use the phrase "fanny flaps" OP, grim!

How is that weird? Are they suppose to know and remember every single woman that gives birth? hmm

No, while they could either read my name from the notes/my wrist band I'd actually expect them to just speak to me politely and not use a name at all. Just like every other ward in the hospital somehow manages.

I like the word mama and my kids use it.

I don’t like the ‘hun’ though.

LOATHED when nurses called me mummy or mum in the ward.
It made me feel like I’d dissolved and disappeared. The WORST thing to call a new mother, especially as they knew my name in labour.
Turned me into a womb with legs.... and made me feel so dehumanized and totally depressed.
