Monday Q of the Wk. Here’s how it works:
Each Monday I ask a thought provoking question about life.  Pose the same question to your blog readers on your own blog along with your answer to the question.  Then come back here and post a comment with a link to your blog post so we can all read everyone’s answers!  It’s been a lot of fun getting to know my readers and their readers and so on and so on…

This week’s question:

Are you a Mommy, a Mom or a Mother?

JoJo’s Answer:

Have you noticed that your title changes as your children get older and depending upon whether they are trying to feel ever so grown up?  When my kids were little, I was Mommy.  When they got a little older, I became Mom.  For a short time my daughter referred to me as “Mother!”  And then there was the time when my daughter was about 3 and she learned to spell that I was… “M. O. M.!”

My daughter is 19 now and my son will be 10 in a few days soI think I’ve graduated to…Mom!  However, my daughter has a Facebook account and recently tagged me in a note where she was asked several questions about the first person who came up under each letter of the alphabet.  When my name popped up, one of the questions was, if I was a friend.  She said I was more than a friend because I was her mother!  I like that.  There’s more respect for your Mother than for just a friend, but Mom seems to denote more of a close relationship than does “Mother.”  Both my kids call me “Mom.”  So I guess I’m sort of a Mom-Mother.  How about you?

Are you a Mommy, a Mom or a Mother?
