[quote=Anonymous]Indian immigrant here. I always called my dad "Papa" and my mom "Mummy". DH is the same. Mostly our kids call me by these names when fancy strikes them - "Mumma", "Mom", "MA", "Mama", "Mommy" - but rarely ever "Mummy". Mostly our kids call DH these name - "Dad", "Daddy", "Pa", "Pops", but never "Papa". We also have Tamil and Muslim friends - they use Ammi/Ammah and Abba/Abbu/Appah for mom and dad. I find all of them sweet and loving. In any case, most of are able to discern who the children are refering to so what is the issue? [/quote]
