Here's a question for all the parents (or grandparents) out there: What do you like your kids to call you?
I prefer "Mama" though from my daughter I've been hearing "Mommy" more often. I don't know if I'll like being called "Mom" though I think that will happen once they reach a certain age.
My husband is called "Daddy" right now.
My parents prefer "Mamaw" and "Poppy" and Dave's mom goes with "Grandma"
Dave's aunt's grandchildren call her "Bane". I think that came from a mispronunciation of Grandma and just stuck.
What do you prefer to be called? Do you think it has to do with what you called your parents or grandparents? Did you decide what you wanted to be called before your kids were born, or did you just let whatever come out be?

I think whatever she called me would be fine as long as she's not calling me by my first name.
My youngest one calls me 'Mama' or 'Mommy' but the 'Mommy' comes out as 'Money', hahahaa. He's almost 2.
It was Mom and Dad in our house. Or mame and sir would work ; )
They all call their father dad. (My teen is by a previous marriage and considers my husband his father. So he calls him dad as well.)
My kids call their grandparents by saying grandma or grandpa. If that doesn't get their attention. They call tehm by their first names.
He heard everyone else call me this so naturally, this is what came out of his mouth. It was never a big deal to me, although I often wondered why it was a big to deal to many, when I was growing up, when he called me by my first name, I answered.
He also calls his Dad by his first name, as well.
But, on my birthday, he did call me and, "sing happy birthday, dear mommy".
I still have the recording og it on my answering machine.
My oldest daughter calls me, Ma, and my youngest calls me Mom.
