Do your kids call you "mum", or do they sometimes call you by your first name? What do their friends call you?

Discussion on Radio 2 at the moment about how kids calling adults by their first name shows a lack of respect, and undermines the authority of adults. What do you think?

ds is 3.6 and has started calling me "mum" instead of "mummy" about 40% of the time - it chills me to the bone, it's too early Sad I haven't told him not to but I might not be able to resist if he keeps doing it Blush... I thought I would be Mummy until he was at least 7 Shock, what is normal these days? When do most kids switch to Mum and Dad?
