[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Born and raised in Chevy Chase MD...I call my female parent :) "Mom" (80% of the time) and "Momma" (20% of the time). "Momma" is usually in a more lighthearted fashion. Growing up, I heard my friends say "Mom" or "Momma"...I can't ever recall hearing anyone say "Mother." If we're calling "Mama/Momma" hillbilly, then I'd have to classify "Mother" and incredibly stuffy...what is this royal Victorian England?[/quote] Gee, I changed to Mother at 7 because I listened to my babysitter talk to "Mommy" on our phone for 20 minutes, bellyaching about having to supervise our chores (no, she didn't have to help). Given her infantile behavior, I wanted to show that I was more mature. By the time I realized that most people thought it was old-fashioned, it was habit, and as my mother and I don't care to change it, I'm not concerned if you think I sound stuffy.[/quote]
