So, does your 5th grader call you Mom or Mommy, or Mama..both, all, etc? My daughter still calls me Mommy at home, and when she refers to me to other family members. But, in front of friends or in public, it's Mom now! What about you? (And do you miss "Mommy" if it's now "Mom"?!)

  • Most of the time when she's talking to us or trying to get our attention is Mommy and Daddy, even in public, she even does it at school! If she's talking about us then it's Mom and Dad.

  • My kids call me "imma" (ee-mah) most of the time (Hebrew for mommy) but if they need to refer to me in English is has always been mom, never mommy; even when they were very small. My youngest will sometimes call or refer to his father as daddy instead of "abba" but it is when he is being a goof or thinks we aren't paying attention to what he is saying.

  • I requested that my youngest stop calling me Mommy at age 5 it sounds babyish in my opinion.
