[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's normal in black or Latino communities to call children mama, mami, pop, or papi. I personally call my dd mama pretty much every day. It's only odd if you're not familiar with different cultures I guess. [/quote]

This is more socioeconomic than race/ethnic. You rarely hear children called mama/papa among my middle to upper income hispanic and black friends (and I'm hispanic). i have, however, heard it among family members in lower socioeconomic classes.[/quote]

I disagree with this.  My boyfriend does this and he is upper middle class.  His entire family of lawyers and accountants do the same.  I think it's cute.[/quote]

I'm South American (Argentina) and I agree that it's really used more the lower classes. You'd never hear anyone in my social circle calling their kids "mani" or "papi." I think in other countries it might be more common, though. [/quote]

Given Argentina's [b]culture (snobbish),[/b] I'm not surprised  that this may not be common there among the upper classes, but it is VERY prevalent in much a Latin America, across all SES.

Fixed that for you. :lol: [/quote]

HAHA!  I married into an Argentinian family and they are pretty smug (I assumed it's just this family).[/quote]

Nah. It's most of them. ESPECIALLY Porteños.  And I say that with affection. I love my Argentine Porteño DH and I love BsAs[/quote]
