[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you want a situation in which your son is stranded and the police officer/other authority figure gets Mommy and Daddy as responses when asked what parents' names are?  It happens, you turn around and the child isn't there, but it's not a big deal, as long as your child knows their first and last name, and full names for you and your husband.[/quote]

We taught our daughter her last name and home address from a very early age.
DH lost her in town one day when she was 4, somebody took her to the closest police station where she was asked for her name - she only "knew" her first name and when asked where she lived she said "With mommy and daddy." Just because they "know" their full name and mommy's and daddy's name and their address doesn't mean that they will be able to tell anyone in an emergency. Unfortunately.

Regarding OP's question I really have no idea what she thinks nanny is supposed to say. Child will learn that mommy is mommy. No matter if nanny or next door neighbour or the lady next door call her by her first name. So far, to him "mommy" and "Mary" are only descriptions of her as a person. He most likely has no concept of "mom", yet. He calls her mom because she taught him to but that doesn't mean that he can connect the feelings he has for her as his mom to calling her mom. It really doesn't matter. He knows she's mom that's what is important.[/quote]
