[quote=Anonymous]A lot of kids go through phases when they call their parents by their first names. It's kind of a novelty thing that seems to relate to the sense of differentiation happening throughout childhood - "mom and dad aren't just mom and dad, they have names and are separate from me." My younger kid did this. My older kid did not. They have both gone through various mama-mommy-mom-ma evolutions, which have not bothered me. I call my mom "mom" unless I'm talking about her to/with the kids, when I call her "granny" so they know who I'm talking about. It never occurred to me to be sensitive about what they called me.
