Are You a Mommy, Mom or Mother?

Great question, JoJo – I would say that I’m all 3 at this point. My 2 adult children call me mom, as do my 3 middle children, my youngest still occassionally calls me mommy. And, I do get the occasional “mother” from my 16 year old son, but that’s usually when he’s trying to win an argument and trying to appear very mature. LOL

As my kids are all teens, I’m usually just “Mom.” However, when trying to get something out of me, I revert back to “Mommy.” Occasionally, the oldest one calls me “Mommy” without thinking about it. I have to admit this really surprises me. It’s kind of a shame, but whenever I hear. . . “Oh, Mommy”. . . my guard goes up as somebody is probably trying to finagle something out of me. :) I don’t think any of them have ever called me “Mother”. . . YET.
