Irrelevent survey

agamble Posts: 1,029 Joined: 2003/09/22	2004/03/05, 10:27 PM This may sound like a pretty stupid question but when referring to your mother what is the most common term used. I am 43 and I still call mine 'momma'. Thing is, I was in the store the other day and saw her and said, "Hey momma. What are you doing....yada, yada" Thing is some young shitbag overheard me and made a big deal about a grown man calling his mother momma. I'm certainly no titty baby and I don't have a complex, I just never gave it much thought. BTW it was a good thing my dear old momma was there or either he or I would have got the crap kicked out of 'em. Does anyone suppose I'm behind the times or is that term still common (For us grown-ups I mean). Like I said pretty irrelevent but it has got me to thinking. Thanks

By the way, i call mine mommy:)

She however signs cards and letters, Mother. My daughter calls me Mom or Mommy, my sons both call me Momma (and it's usually said in a a whine). My grandsons call me Nanna. My mom and I are both happy to be called any of them.

My kids call me Mom, Mommy, Mother and when they are in trouble, they just call me ma'am. lol I think that however you address your mother, as long as it is with love and respect, is totally okay.

DanielJLove Posts: 320 Joined: 2004/03/30	2004/04/10, 11:35 AM Mom or Mother. When I was about 8 my Dad/Father came into my room and told me that I had to stop calling him daddy, I could call him dad/father/old man/pops etc. etc., but not Daddy. So at that time I dropped mommy/momma as well. It's not wierd though, just cultural and individual

Datdanigirl Posts: 452 Joined: 2004/02/11	2004/04/15, 12:52 PM Right in my cell phone it says "Momma". She doesn't really like "MA" shouted out in public places, but it's fun to do anyways. Particularly if you can do it over and over (ma? ma? mom? MA-a-AH!) What a rude and disrespectful ignoramus to intrude upon your personal relationship with your mother. He probably doesn't kiss his in public either. I kiss my mom every time I see her, and every time I leave her, and will call her momma every day that I have with her.
