You must live in a shell if you have never heard “mum”, mama” and many other terms used for mother within and outside the United States.

No, pp was calling out op for their weird affectation.

This is the United States of America. We do not use British Commonwealth spellings here. The right to not do so was hard won in the 18th Century.

Respect that or refrain from posting. Please and thank you.

The infrastructure and checks and balances of our Democracy in the United States of America was also hard won in the 18th century but we seem a-okay abandoning those so using "mum" seems like the least of our worries.

But in all seriousness, to the "refrain from posting" PP - t'es chiant.

We call my mother "mum" as all of our friends did for their mothers growing up. Mine signs her cards "Love, Mum".

Another New Englander here. We always called our mother "mum." My father and his siblings called my grandmother "mum" or "mumma." My own kids were raised in DC, but they call me "mum."

How about "mummy"?

Also grew up in New England, also had a mother who went by Mum.

Bathtubs are the most mist common place that that infants drown.

Since three month olds cannot move themselves, it is assumed that such cases are either neglect or homicide.

(Often the guardian leaves the room for a few minutes, or allows a sibling to supervise. Bathrings are dangerous, and should never be used. Drownings are silent and happen in minutes.)

This was intentional. The mom drowned the baby on purpose.
Awful.

It's really horrible that people used a post about a baby's death to have a weird fight sbout word choice. Grow up.

The police may have made an arrest if there was evidence of neglect. It doesn't have to be intentional.

I don't think they would have arrested her for an accident.

I knew a woman who would take her infant into the bath with her every day.

So risky. Sleep deprivation and a warm environment - way too easy for mom to fall asleep. Zero substance abuse, she was a super crunchy mom.

Yeah, it's unheard of for "super crunchy" people to use mind-altering substances.
