[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] Good for pp for knowing Latino culture and class differences. My upper middle class Latina mother would die if she hears me call my daughter "mami." She does use m'ja with my sister and I though.[/quote] Mija is very specific to Mexico though. Even poor people use it in Mexico. [/quote]
