[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's normal in black or Latino communities to call children mama, mami, pop, or papi. I personally call my dd mama pretty much every day. It's only odd if you're not familiar with different cultures I guess. [/quote]

This is more socioeconomic than race/ethnic. You rarely hear children called mama/papa among my middle to upper income hispanic and black friends (and I'm hispanic). i have, however, heard it among family members in lower socioeconomic classes.[/quote]

This. My middle class Mexican-American mother would hit the roof if she heard me use that term of endearment with my kids. M'ja/o is okay.[/quote]

M'ja?   :lol: [/quote]

Well that's news to me!! - middle class Mexican mom.[/quote]

Middle class Mexican from Chihuahua, mija  and is the name mi Mamácita calls me. As pp said mijo or mija is used in Mexico, mama or papi is not used too much that I have heard.

What I always though was weird is how they use pendejo/a in Argentina, while in most of Latin America it’s an insult.
