what would you feel if oneday your daughter call you untie and not a mommy.

I did that to my mom when i was a kid.There is nothing wrong

My daughter is seventeen now and has never called me anything but mom or mommy. Even though I worked off and on through out her life she has been mainly with family members never a baby sitter. I do have to say that at times it got confusing for teachers. You see when my daughter was four and going to preK my mom was watching her. I had gone back to work so mom took her to school and picked her up most days. I have always called my mother mom. So it was natural for my daughter to start calling her mom as well. I did not see anything wrong with this. She actually did not the difference. I decided to go with my mom to pick up my daughter from school. She came running out yelling mommy mommy and the teacher came over. She asked my daughter who I was and my daughter said mommy. The teacher said well who is this other woman who has been picking you up. My daughter told her that is mom. Then she said mommy's mom. So that showed she did no the diference. My daughter calls my mom grandmom most of the time now however, she does slip back into the little girl who calls her grandmom mom. I have never felt threatened by my daughter calling my mom mom. However, I would get upset if she would call anyone else mom. I think I would be shocked if my daughter called me by my first name. I also feel I would have to straighten that out fast. Because as someone else said I am her mother not her friend.

I think that all kids try this at one time or another. I know that my girls did. I told them I was mommy or mom and that I wouldn't answer to any thing else. I was Mom not their friend. I also had their friends calling me Mrs. When You let the children start calling you by your given name it takes away the respect that you need to be a good parent.

Shocked as there would be no reason for them to do so, they have both gone through stages of calling me by my name rather than mummy but it soon passed I didnt make a huge issue of it didnt see the point they hear their dad call me my name all the time they were only curious

I will be shocked and I might fall into deep thinking the reason why they call me auntie. Lolz.
