I’m a young mom with a pre-teen son and he’s called me “mommy” up until he was about 10 and a half. Since then he’s been calling me “Ma” which I find pretty cute. Especially when he extends it to “Maaa” when yelling from another room. Maybe it’s a southern thing lol. Just curious about what y’all call your moms?

    Usually, just mama. There’s a few nickname alternates that have piled up over the years, but mama sticks for whatever reason. She usually prefers it as well, so that works.

    Strangely, my dad has two. Daddy and papa. I use them interchangeably, my sister sticks with daddy.

    My kid calls their mom mommy or mom usually. Mommy when they’re tired for sure though lol.
