To not like him calling me Mummy...

[Pop12]

My Husband calls me Mummy around the house while my kids are around, so for example he might shout 'Mummy, do you know where are DS's socks are'...etc
If I have given the kids a snack he will say 'Mummy is there one for me!'
I didn't mind when the kids were really young and he was talking with them but I find it a bit creepy he is using it to directly ask me questions.... am I being unreasonable? Is it me thats overthinking it?

Whilst DD is awake I refer to him as 'Daddy', but that is because DC is cheeky and had started to call him by his first name as that is what she heard me doing. That being said she is only 3

When she is sleeping... It is back to first name for him.

My husband never addresses me though... He just bloody talks at me 😂

Never mummy, my first name or love etc. Although he takes great joy in emphasising my name if we argue

When talking to my kids (who are late teens) we refer to each other as “Your Mum” or “Your Dad”, ie “I have no idea Mate, but your Mum might know…” otherwise, when we talk to each other it’s the usual “Sweetie, Darling, Babe, etc” (I know, 🤢) or we refer to each other to everyone else in the universe by name.

What are you talking about? OP said 'snack'!

Oops, ignore me

That has freaked me right out.

He no longer sees you as a sexual being if he talks like this

This! A nursery staff does the same - 'hello Mum, well DC had a great day today'. I know it's just because she can't remember my name.

I wouldn’t like that either.
Referring to you as mummy when speaking to the kids - fine, crack on.
Calling you mummy directly - nope.

I do it to my husband!! It started in the way you husband started and now it's just become a sort of pet name!! I would never do it when we were on our own but I do it in front of the children like "daddy, can I have a cup of tea?". It's vile 🤣🤣. My guess is it's sort of turned into a term of endearment now and he's doing it out of pure habit. Just tell him it turns you off and he needs to stop!!

My dad always called Mum, Mum. It drove her crazy.

Here, children are adults and gone. We refer to ourselves as Mum and Dad when talking to the dogs, shall Mum get your food?

We switched to calling each other mommy and papa around the 2 year old. He's too clever and went through a phase of calling us by our first names which we didn't want.

But if DP calls me that without our son nearby it's a no 🤢

How old are you DC?

I've told my DH we need to call each other mommy and daddy around the house because DS 19mo has said out actual names on a couple of occasions but never said mom or dad so it's to encourage him what we're called really.

I think it’s cute… not sure why it’s such a big deal! Wouldn’t care if my husband did it. He calls me babe or darling but I wouldn’t care if I was called mummy… my son thinks it’s my name so hardly an issue

If he's anything other than a very posh man aged over 65 I'd find it disturbing!

I dont get why any one thinks this is necessary teach kids to call them mum and dad. It's completely unnecessary. And minging. Stop it.

Here's a crazy idea - they could just say "Hello there, well little Molly had a great day today". Why bother with the "mum"?

Oh this gives me the ICK!🤢 completely acceptable when children are really little & learning to talk etc but at 8 & 9 no, tell him to stop it, stop it right now

Oh OP YANBU

I am so sorry but this would just make me want to vanish into a hole.
I can imagine him saying it in front of your kids friends . Bit like Bitty on Little Britain but not quite as bad.
Sorry. 😂😂

This is so arrogant 😂 as if nurses are able to remember every name of parent they deal with.

I call my dc’s dad Dad, but that’s because I’ve forgotten his name 😁

This 🤣

Our kids have left home, but even now DH and I still call each other 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' when talking to the cat, ie. "Go sit on Daddy - you're annoying me!"

In the world of pet ownership, I'm sure we're not alone

Makes me think of the show, Bad Sisters.

My dd was about 4 when I had to ask her dad to stop calling me Mummy. It started as cute, got into a habit then just felt off.

Oh gosh I do call DH Dad or Daddy in the hearing of the DC. I think it just becomes automatic when they are learning to speak... I also call myself Mummy and narrate things that I am doing... is this awful? Youngest is still learning to talk.

Never when the kids aren't there though!
