[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a new poster and I want to know WHY Hispanics/south Americans call their children the equivalent of "mother" and "father" - I would never think of calling my kids mother or father and I'm curious what it means - is it like "little lady" or is it kind if referring to the child's parent - like you're-just-like-your-mama so we're going to call you mama?[/quote] Well, it's not the equivalent of "mother" and "father," it's "mommy/mom" and "daddy/dad," which are terms of endearment. Why the parent and child term is the same, I don't know. I never thought it was a reference to the child's actual parent (as in, I love you and your mother too).[/quote]
