[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common in Boston too...our accent maybe as Maine poster pointed out? I referred to my mother as Mumma, short form Mum, as did friends. That is what my kids call me, tradition.[/quote] +1 My father and his sisters (born and raised outside of Boston, as was I) always called my grandmother "mum" and I call my own mother the same. Many of my childhood friends called their mothers "Mumma." My own kids use "mum" and "mom" interchangeably.[/quote]
