Dd wants to call me mum

[Fancyahobnob]

And not mummy anymore 😔
Didn’t think it would happen this young (7)
Want to be mummy a bit longer!

What age was your child when you started being called mum and how did it happen?

Mummy, mother, mamadre, mum, ma, mothERRR. Dd is 15 and I get all the options.

No, it isn't. You get to be called what you prefer.

6 and 19. (Autistic)

Yes.

@Stompythedinosaur nailed it in the first post.

This isn't a hill to die on.

Mine stopped calling me mum when they were very little. They started calling me by my name 🙂 so it was oh Pauline can I have more toast etc etc. No idea why they did that but they were very unruly. Now they are all grown up, and call me a mixture of my name, mum or mamma (again, no idea why although it makes me laugh).

I can’t remember what age I stated calling my DM mum instead of mummy but I do know she probably felt exactly as you do - for a while she would abbreviate my name (it doesn’t really abbreviate) to make a point whenever I called her mum!

My 10 year old still calls me mummy for now. I know it won't be for much longer now!

Exactly the same here! Still Mummy.

My colleague used to call her 93 year old mother, mummy.

I've specifically asked mine to call me Mum. At 18 and 15 they still choose Mummy. It's a bit weird, I think, but nothing I can do about it.

Where I live it is very unsusual to still call your mum mummy once you are at secondary school. Other teenagers would take the piss massively.

Sorry about double post

My 19 yr old calls me Mummy but only when she wants something 😂

My DD called me ‘Mam’ from the beginning. She’s a grown woman now and I’m still ‘Mam’.

I have always been mumma never mummy and now my 9 year old calls me mum and I hate it I always wanna be mumma!!! Luckily my 5 year old still calls me it

You wait until they kindly explain that they no longer need you to come and put them to bed in the evening and they can just go to bed when they tired.... That one was tough!! She was right though, nearly 15 year olds don't need tucking in (although she does let me do it now and then for my benefit and sometimes she comes and tucks me in when I'm tired and want to go to bed early!)

My 7 year old still calls me mummy (when he's not calling me bro, that is, or sometimes big fella). My 14 year old stopped calling me mummy maybe around 6 or 7 years old, she started calling me mama instead and still calls me that.

From about 4 or 5 I was mum. Im back to mummy now when the now teens want something!

My 15 and 19 yo still call me Mummy, unless I tell them off about something in which case its 'Awww, mooom...'

DS is 21. Teens I became Purple or Mother. Still calls me Mummy if he wants something (as I do to my own mum who is 85!)

I had no idea this was a thing! But "Mummy" voiced by an adult always reminds me of the hilarious The Out-Laws (re-made in English as Bad Sisters).

Mine called us mum and dad as soon as she saw Bluey. She also says ‘mama’ but sadly no longer ‘mammy’. I still call myself mammy.

Mine are 12 and 9 and still call me mummy (or mumma) at home, but in front of their friends they call me mum!

I’ve been Mum since DD was about 2.5 (she’s just turned 3). I think I’m in a minority that I actually prefer it. Yet I’ve no idea why I prefer it 🤷🏼‍♀️
