Do you call your Mum 'Mummy'?

Former Member

What do you call your parents?

I went through a stage of calling my dad his actual name because I knew it pissed him off alot

I just call my mum, 'Mum'

but the other day I was in town and this really posh girl about a year or so older than me called her mum 'mummy' and just wandering how many other people call their mums 'mummy'

and do you call your brothers and sisters 'bro' or 'sis'?
i dont but on that stupid mouthwash advert that little boy calls his brother 'big bro' or something.

Former Member

I say mummy and daddy when talking to them or my siblings.

With my mates I just say "my ma and da."

ETA:Oh and for my siblings, their first names or "you fucking wanker"

Former Member

I call my parents 'mummy' and 'daddy' when i want something from them and in christmas cards and things.

If i'm annoyed with them I call them 'Mother' and 'Father'. I don't think I hardly ever call them mum and dad, though if I did I would probably preface it with a me as in me mum and me dad.

I fink its coz i'm well posh innit

ETA - I just call my sister by her name when talking to her - though obviously I might refere to her as my sister when talking to other people.

Former Member

actually most of my mates and that will say 'my old dear' or 'the old cheese' for mum and for dad 'my old man'

Former Member

I just call my mum "Mam" cause that's what everybody round here calls their Mum.

Former Member

My Mum is 'Mum' and my Dad was 'Dad'... I did know a few people who called them Mummy and Daddy but I always thought it sounded a little strange.

Oddly Andy's Dad sometimes refers to Andy's Mum as 'Mummy' when talking about her...

Former Member

No because I'm not a four year old

Former Member

either mum or mama for the old dear. Dad for the old man.

Former Member

depends who i'm speakin to

if its mates i usually say "me ma"

if i'm talkin to her...its mum

never use "mummy" just sounds so babyish

Former Member

Mom or mommy and papa.

Former Member

On the whole I call my mum 'mum' and my dad 'dad'. Sometimes I called my dad by his first name, but I found out he didn't like that so now I only use it when we fall out. I have nicknames for them sometimes which go in and out, but it's pretty much always mum and dad. I call my brother by his first name, or again some stupid nickname.

Although a couple of my friends call their parents by their first names, and have since about the age of 12 which I thought was unusual.

i call my mum mummy and my dad 'old man'

Former Member

Mum or little un as shes tiny

Former Member

No. I have never called my parents Mummy or Daddy. Maybe when I was about two.

I think people who do are either really immature or are spoilt brats who get everything they want.

Former Member

Mum & dad, don't ever remember calling them mummy & daddy.

:no: Its just natural for me. But I'm a little kid at heart and super close to the both of them. Ed thinks its funny I say papa, says hes never heard anybody use that before, but my sister does too. It would be funny to call him anything but. Except for, hey retard!

I say 'old dear' and 'old man' when I'm talking about them to my mates.
When I'm actually talking to them, I call them 'mum' and 'dad'.

What the fuck is up with 'the old cheese' though? lol That sounds kinda wrong.

Former Member

Mum - "Mum"
Dad - "Dad", "Old man", "Zimmer", "Old get"
Brother 1 - "Jay"
Brother 2 - "Fat boy"
Sister - "Anti-Christ"

Former Member

Mum= Mum/ Mumzy/ Mother when im annoyed/ Barbara when she's pretending to be deaf

Dad= Dad or Father

Former Member

i say mummy (ends up gettin pronounced somethin like 'moy') n daddy .. thats what everyone says here! ... saying 'mum' and 'dad' would actually be the 'posher' way of sayin it over here

There are a few girls I know that say mummy and daddy, posh sort.
"Mummy can one have new pony, I couldn't possibly ride the one I have now, it's so terribly old"

ahahahah - yes thats so totally me though my parents would never buy me a poney - meanies - however "daddy" does still pay my credit card bill (or rather one of them though I don't actully ever put anything on it - especially since I dont' hve a pin number so its impossible to use these days!)

Hum thinking about it I think they would prefer it if they were called mum and dad

Former Member

call my parents mam and dad. Well i call my step dad by his 1st name even though he's brought me up since i was 4 years old. I class him as my dad tho

????? WTF Lol

I say Mum n Dad. End of.

Former Member

Mam and dad. I call my brother by his name unless I'm talking to people about him that don't know him then I'll say brother.

Former Member

I call them mum and dad, but my mum calls herself mummy, and refers to my dad as 'daddy'. My dad refers to my mum as eith mummy, or 'your mom' (he's not american, he's a brummie).

Pretty sure my brother still calls them mummy and daddy. He's not posh or immature, it's just force of habit.

Exactly, it might be seen as posh and snobby over the water but it's not that way here.
