Even when the person isn't a mother?
A friend did that to me recently. I thought it was so weird, especially because I'm openly childfree by choice. |

| I HAAATE it. I'm not a big fan of "lady" either. Like between friends "hey lady how is Larla?" |

I completely agree. Also, I am not a preggers mama. I am a mother who happens to be pregnant again. |

| I thought the only person who did that was Heather from RHONY. Maybe others are copying her? |

| They like you, and it's a term of endearment. Call the cops! |

| It's trashy. So is "lady" (as in 18:12). |

| I HATE lady. So annoying and I know someone who does it regularly. I realize it's my own quirk though. I've never heard mama used other than in the correct context. |

| The lady and the mama thing bug me, too. |

Yes! That's what I was thinking, too. I'm white, but I don't mind when a friend calls me mama or girl. |

| No, I'm OP and south Asian. I don't get why someone would call me "mama." It's just weird. |

Trashiness is colorblind. But clearly you are not. |

I agree, it is weird....but did you say anything to them? Like, I'm not a mama, i have no kids! |
