[quote=Anonymous]My family is from Texas, as in several generations over 1-2 hundred years, the term "mamas" is used in our family when talking to daughters. We come from a higher socioeconomic class. Perhaps a nanny used it and it stuck. In any case, it is a term of endearment. Nothing more, nothing less. My parents and I were born in the U.S. Midwest. No one in my family ever called their toddler daughter, or any aged daughter, "sexy". While I don't speak Spanish and grew up in "white" suburbia, we do have a few lingering Spanish words. For example, chancla, it means "slipper" in our family, not "flip-flop". Of course, when any of my family members actually lived in Mexico, flip-flops were not yet used. We were never spanked with one. We only use it to talk about house slippers. I only bring this up to point out that these words were used "north" of the border long before there was a border. People should never be treated harshly for what they use as a term of endearment. Loving and caring for your children is a personal endeavor and it is always appropriate to use a term of endearment for your child. No matter the word used.[/quote]
