[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 35 and still call my parents mommy and daddy. I've gotten so much DCUM and UB hate for it but I don't care! Sue me.[/quote]

Same with me. Except I call my mom "Mummy" and "Mama". I call my dad "daddy" or "Daddy Mr (Insert Last Name)"

I have several siblings, older and younger, and we call our parents different things at different times. And the names change. lol. Our parents have no problems with it. lol

Sometimes adult children get bored and want to shake things up a little bit. lol[/quote]

What are you a Southern Belle? Or Eastern European? But, if from Europe, you would use a different language and not daddy.[/quote]

I am African. [/quote]

Well, that certainly puts more context to it.  I notice you didn't say African American. It is not as if your white DAR daughter all of a sudden started calling you something else.  I call my mom mama, and my dad the equivalent, but in my language, it is not the same. East Africa? [/quote]

West African. lol

We(my many siblings included) grew up calling them mummy and daddy. "Mama"  is one of the newer ones I use. We have come up with quite a few new names for them. We are just having a little fun with the names.

Just a quick question off thread topic if you don't mind? Is being a mom and called mama "insert child name" a custom in your country or not?  I am just curious because it was a custom in East African country I lived in.  I liked it but some people here thought it was degrading to women.[/quote]

I wouldn't say it is custom, but it is common in the rural areas(not more common than not, but common enough). And so is being a dad and being called Papa "insert child's name". And then there are special names for parents with twins. [/quote]
