Do you still call your mom "momma" or "mommy"

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only 20-something that calls her mother "mommy". :)

I think that the form to call is not so that it makes the people if to feel loved, but aim the way who we demonstrate our love it.

I hope they don't either. I think kids should always be close to their parents, they are the best gift ever!

What language is that? I'm curious how to say "mom" in different languages (like "amma" in Hindi).

I've seen this a couple times now - so "mom" in Hindi or in India is "amma" - how do you pronounce it, is it the same "ah-mah" kind of sound like "omma" in "momma"???

Is it different in your culture that you don't say "Mommy"?? I am just curious you said she'd look at you like you were crazy because she is in germany.

That's sweet you call her mommy when you want her to smile, I hope that means you call her mommy all the time b/c you want her to smile all the time. I call mine mom, too, sometimes, usually when I'm annoyed with her, that's mean I know, I save the special name for when I'm happy with her.

Actually, smartie pants, I'm 24, what's wrong with that? And I had just gotten an email from my mom when I brought this up, she was on my mind at the time. If you'll notice, I had about 6 or 7 other topics going at the same time, so it's not "the only thing on my mind worth talking about".

:) That's nice, what does it mean, if I can ask? I like that, "grandshmo". Remember "Marmee" from Little Women? I always thought that was a nice thing to say to your mom.

:) I understand how your mom feels, she wants to be your mom not be called by her first name! If I ever came home and called my mom "Linda" (her name) she'd probably swat me too. I know how you feel about your mom, missing her. I live about 4 hours from my mom and it seems like I never get to see her, only about 6 or 7 times a year.

Don't worry about it, my mom yells at me all the time! But I know she loves me, and she usually only yells when I do something really bad (like when I dropped a 1/2 semester of college, when I quit a job and just walked out, etc). My mom's spent the last 14 years of my life trying to turn me into a good person and a "young lady" or whatever, she hates to see me screw it up now I'm on my own.

I get like that too, I call her at least once or twice a week. My fiance said once, "you're always on the phone with your mom!" and I said, "yeah, she's my MOM~!!!!". You can't ever forget about your mom, esp. one who takes care of you even when she doesn't have to (I was adopted when I was 10).
