Trapped at home with a 4 year old, a 3 year old and a teething 5 month old (husband is a key worker). If I had a clicker to count the number of times I hear the word 'Mummy?' in a day it would explode.

Send help.

I think I would prefer that to the drawn out shout/groan of "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum! that I hear all day. Grin

I just do a fake answer phone ‘I’m sorry but mummy is not here atm, please try again later or leave a message after the beep’

RoLaren · 08/05/2020 12:45

Tomorrow They'd leave a message. And the message would be 'Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy ... '

YANBU. I'm now called a Ursula the Sea Witch 🤣

curlycat · 08/05/2020 12:55

Mine are 16 and 20 and just about every sentence starts with muuuuuuuuuuuuuum

Sillyshell · 08/05/2020 13:20

Yep, 3 and 4 year olds here and there are days I could burst my own ear drums! DS was a late talker and I nearly cried the first time he called me mumma, now it's Muuuummmm Confused

I kept track of this for a timed 5 minute period once. Think mine were 2 and 3 at the time. From memory they said "Mammy" 116 times in the 5 minutes.

EllaAlright · 08/05/2020 13:38

My youngest is 3 and I get ‘muuuuuuuuuummmyyyyyyyyyyyy’. I swear that one word goes on for 30 minutes +.

I feel you OP - 3 year old, 4 year old and nearly 6 month old here.

If it helps, my DH is working from home (not that he gets much done) but he's off today and it's still 'mummy mummy mummy mummy'. If I had a pound for every time I said it don't know, what don't you ask your dad?' I'd be a rich woman.

mistermagpie · 08/05/2020 15:25

'why don't you ask your dad' I mean. I can't even type!

KellyHall · 08/05/2020 15:30

I asked 3 yo dd why she always woke me up and not dh (her dad). She said "I don't want HIM, I want YOU, I don't like him, I LOVE you".

What was my comeback supposed to be?!

I actually responded with "yeah, fair enough, let's play".

RoLaren · 08/05/2020 20:05

Aaannnddd ... they're all asleep. Relentless day. Thanks for keeping me sane everyone Flowers
