[quote=Anonymous]Congrats on your child! We tried referring to ourselves as Mama (initial) after our first was born but found it too cumbersome, so we switched to Mama and Mommy. Most of the other two mom families that we have met use the same. Our oldest is now in preschool (just had our second), and he has no problem keeping it straight and will correct other people. Our parents still occasionally have to pause before remembering but generally have it down. Our child also knows that either of us will respond to any mom word if needed, and we are occasionally starting to use mom if we need something more generic. I will be curious to see if it changes as he gets older. Just FYI, your child will probably say mama first, so if one of you is mommy you will have to wait a bit longer before hearing "your" name. The day our son called me mommy was very exciting, though![/quote]
