to really really hate that stupid word MUMMA

[Imadetherightchoice]

Jeez.....what are we - babies?

I came in to agree with you but then you said Jeez .......

Sounds like a Judge Judy-ism. Agree on the Jeez, you're hardly helping you argument!

It's vile, I have a friend whose Instagram bio thingy declares "proud perfect Mumma to three perfect children".

I also have a friend who uses "hubbalub" for her DH which makes me physically recoil.

I need new friends.

My DM is saved as Mamma on my phone. I’ve called her that for years. No big deal.

I hate the term 'little legs' oooh little legs cooed today, oooh little legs wore something today. no!

I really, really hate that stupid word “Jeez”......

I really, really hate that stupid word “Jeez”......

I'm mama. I hate mummy. To my ears it sounds twee. Each to their own.

I like mama. But I live outside the UK so to me it sounds cute.
I call my child "little fella" as in the little fella was excited about seeing the dinosaurs at the museum. How does that sit with you?

My 2 kids still call me Mama, and the eldest is 21

I think it’s regional- it’s Mum or Mammy here, anything else and you’d be accused of having notions.

I prefer to be called mama. My DH insists on saying 'mumma' and claims mama is too hard to say. He managed Dada and Nana etc just fine (although he now prefers Daddy). It grates.

I'm happy for other people to be called whatever they want.

It's a pretentious instagram mum thing

can honestly say i have lived 62 years and this is the first time oin my life ive even seen the word mumma my mum was that mum

Seconded on little legs.

Course they having fucking little legs, they're children. Usually used to describe why said child can't walk further than the front door to the car.

Little legs??? Never heard of that one!

A colleague used to always call her son a 'wee man cut down' which I thought was really weird.

My son calls me Mumma when he's needing babied a bit; I'll let him have that one for as long as he wants

It reminds me of a film I watched a few years back, it was called mama right enough but every time I hear something similar I think of that creaky film.

Creepy

Mumma, not mama

Fine if you're 4.

Hmm used publicly (rather than in private to a parent they've always called that) by adults it's a bit holibob/ nom nom/ hubby ...

As others say you've stuck a post it with hypocrite written on it on your forehead by using the word jeez when complaining about mumma though :o

My kids still call me mummy, including the teen, which I believe also annoys people on MN.

My DH insists on saying 'mumma' and claims mama is too hard to say.

Wait what's the difference (in pronunciation) between mumma and mama?

It’s an instamum thing. It’s very annoying.

uh as in multiple and ah as in cat @aussiemum ?
