[quote=Anonymous]I've come across quite a few women who refer to themselves as "mum," lately. If you have close familial ties to GB or another country that uses that word, then use it! I know a woman through a play group. She is a native Georgian, as is her entire family. She actually said "This mum needs a nap." Another woman I know is from San Diego. Her parents came to the US from Mexico 30 years ago. She has lived in GB all of 3 months and is now a "mum." Call me judgy if you like. It's irritating and pretentious. Anyone else experienced this?[/quote]
