    What do/will your children call you... mam, mom, mum, dad, pa...etc? Or something entirely different?

    Mama & Mummy... and they call my husband Dada & Daddy.

    and when she wants something, my daughter will call me "sweetest of mamas, dearest to my heart!"
    love,
    mom

    Probably Just Mommy/Mom & Daddy/Dad. My parents, however, get the fun names. My mom is totally against being called grandma (or anything close to it) So our kids will call them Mama C & Papa D.

    My parents are ...

    Mum, Mother, Susan (her full first name, to tease because she hates it)
    Dad

    To my children they shall be ...
    Nana, Nan (because mum likes the best, she thinks Grandma is too stuffy)
    Grandad (because he's turning into our Grandad)
    No idea about their other grandparents, they can be what they like.

    Think I'd like to be called Mama, though not too fussed. Long as they call me something y'know (that's suitable for saying in public, obviously).
    Shall let future SO choose his own term, though would probably default to Dad/Daddy.

    Mama, Mommy, Ma. My dh is usually Papa, sometimes Daddy. My kids don't call us by our first names, sometimes my oldest will tease me and call me by something which sounds like my middle name, but it's just when she is goofing around. "Katermina, where's my food?" Always with an accent for some reason.

    Mommy and Daddy.....but as they get older and "cooler" we've been shortened to Mom and Dad. ;)
