I'm Mom when referred to apparently

[Snoz]

Lol, AIBU to be amused at my dc's decision to refer to me as my Mom? Mom? We don't live in America!
She goes to an international boarding school so perhaps she's finding a level, but I was always Mammy.

Anyway, I guess I can cope with Mom.
At least she's not calling me 'her at home' or something.
Mom. I think I can get used to it.

Mum

No, I'm a white mother of mixed race black child.

In some parts of Britain, the Midlands for example, people use, "Mom", instead of, "Mum". Doesn't matter really though, does it? It's much the same as, "Mum", and is quite friendly.

DS7 called me "not Daddy" for the first year of being able to talk, so at least it's not that.

@SoleBizzz

I'm a Mom of a dual heritage child.

This again?

It's mom in many central areas of uk

Dont some yorkshire folk call their Mum 'Mom'?

I know a lot in Manchester call them Mam etc

I’m a mom. It’s not just American. I’m a midlander.

Oh FFS I've offended someone. Sorry. Next time I compose the English Oxford dictionary I'll leave the world Mammy out?

I don't think this is local, as we're all Mammy. I think this is coming from the international element, so she doesn't want to stick out among them all by saying My Mammy, so just fits the mould. I quite like my new title! I feel all American and capable and soccer Mom!

Oh fucking hell

She's not in Britain.

I went to international boarding school abroad and no, it's nothing to do with that as people refer to their mothers in their mother tongue/local dialect.

SoleBizzz is in a bad mood.

My dc have taken to calling me Ma not sure where and when that influence came from. It is strange though when they start calling you something different as though they’ve always called you that.

I get mother these days

I'm mammy, I'm Irish.

I also call my mammy, mammy.

Dh (also irish) calls his mammy, Mum.

My son often calls me by my first name also

I get mother too

I feel like more of a Mom than a Mammy though. Maybe she has picked up on my lack of mothering skills.

I would rather be a Mom than a Ma, Ma just makes me think of the old sheep in babe or Ma Larkin.

Not as far as I know TheWiFi.
I have lived in West and South Yorkshire, and it is mum or mummy.

DD1 who is 18 called me mother this morning. In all fairness it's because I did a particularly loud fart in the kitchen and she could hear it upstairs. Other than that I'm Mam.

Ah dont be daft Snoz she's just picking up on the lingo. Its nothing about mom/mammy/mum skills.
