What do you call her?

I try not to call her anything, but when I am talking about her to someone else it is my mother. There are personal reasons behind this we were not close when I was growing up.

I was raised by my grandmother, who we all called Ma, including my mother - but only when talking TO her. When talking about her, we called her Nana. My mother is and has always been "Mum". I love that three of my kids - at 15, 18 and 25 - still call me 'Mummy' most of the time. My 22 year old son calls me "Mom", as opposed to "Mum", and my 16 year old son calls me "Mumma". I think it's neat that all but the 22 year old still hold onto their childish names for me even though our relationship with each other is very respectful and adult.

I call my mom, MOM. My kids call me mom or mommy. My son who is 14 calls me Mother. It sounds funny when he calls me that, but he means nothing disrespectful by it. My kids will also call me carebear at times. This is when they are joking around with me.

Sometimes it's 'mom', but for the most part it's 'Mimi'. My sister's first husband called her that long before any grandkids came along, and it just stuck. So everyone refers to her as 'mimi'. Probably I refer to her, when I'm speaking to her as Mom. I agree with you that 'Mother' sounds a little to formal.

I think I have called my mom "Mom" since I was a little kid. Maybe when I was a toddler I called her "Mommy", but not past about 5 if I did. I will have to ask her. My son has always called me "Mom" unless he wants something and then it is "Mommy". My 19 month old daughter calls me "Mama".

I call her "MAMA". If we are playing around we call her with her nickname. And if i get upset about something I call her with her real name...hehehe sounds funny though I love my Mama so much!

Ive always called my mother...MAMA...that's what she liked me to call her and that's what I've been accostumed to...my children though call her Mama Angie...since she didn't want to be called Grandma. My children call me mama to so to avoid confusion they would our first names to the word Mama.

I call my mom mom if I am calling to ask a question I will sometimes say hey ma and if she doesn't answer me I call her by her name lol

Isn't is funny what we grow up to call our relatives? I call my mom Mom, unless I am mad or frustrated with her and then call her mother (kind of like her using my middle name when she is mad or frustrated with me??!!). My mom's mom's name was Anne and we grew up calling her Granny Annie!

I almost always call my mother "Mom". I don't know when I stopped calling her "Mommy", but I can't have been too old. I sometimes call her "Mama" - it all depends on what mood I'm in. I love hearing my children call me "Mommy", but they are really little, and I'm sure it'll get shortened to "Mom" sooner than I would like.

I call my mother Mom or Mama. I don't ever remember calling her Mommy, although, I may have as a very small child. The grand kids all call her Nana. My son called me Mommy until he was in his early 20's. I thought it was kind of cute, and funny. He now calls me Mama. My daughter calls me Mom or Mama and always has. I think I would feel like something was wrong if my kids were to call me Mother. I agree, it is just too formal for me.

hi newtondak i m use to call mommy. mother remain mother whatever we are calling her. her love remain same. i think the for ur mother matters instead of ma,mother,mommy people having different names for god. some are saying bhagwan,allah ,jesus, god,whatever but............ god remains same in all religions. so GOD HIMSELF said that i can't present everywhere so i created MOTHER. thats why whatever the name u are assigning to ur god(mother). take care.

i call my mother 'mom' or 'mommy'.

i simply call my mother as mama ("Muhmuh") haha :)
