[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The faux hippies I know try to push mama and papa[/b]; sometimes sticks, sometimes not. Some of those people are annoying as hell, some are not. My son calls me Mama on occasion...not sure why, but that's his comfort name I guess when he's feeling sad or wants to be babied (he is 4). Otherwise, I am Mom, Mommy, or even my first name.[/quote] I've noticed this too. I don't get why as none of the ones I know grew up using those terms. It always makes me feel like they're trying to create some sort of idyllic version of "family" they have in their minds. They also seem to really try to force their kids to be "close" and "friends" even when it's clear they have different personalities and just aren't friends in the way the parents seem to want.[/quote]
