What Do Your Littles Call You?

[TwinKristi]

Miss Kristi or Kristi but one insists on calling me mommy. She calls dh daddy too... It's really kinda creepy to me.

[AmyKidsCo]

at my daughter's daycare when she was an infant, one of the aids introduced herself as "Grandma" and expected all the kids and adults to call her that. It really bugged me- she's not mine nor my kid's grandma.

That would bother me too. My mom and dad are over often and they call my mom Grandma Irene and my dad Gumpa.

Miss "first name". The real little ones try to call me just by my first name but usually end up getting half of it out. They all do call my mom Nana and she loves it!

[daycare]

they call me MS First NAME

funny when my son says Mommy Miss N.............



years ago they used to call me resah, which is short for Mudarresah, which means teacher in arabic, but I don't even try to teach arabic anymore. It didnt work for either areas that I was in before and now I can hardly speak the language very well.

the first time that I heard someone called nanna, I thought that it was short for banana. I was with a friend and I said that's so mean that everyone calls your grandmother a banana to her face. They got a good laugh out of me.....

[Wubby]

All my dc kids and grand-kids call me Wubby. One of my dc kids (he's almost 15) started calling me Wubby when he was about 14mos. He was having a very troubled family time and I was his only security, hence the wubby blanket.

They call me by my first name. In my 20 years, I've had two parents (a few years apart) introduce me to their child as Miss Firstname, and they were both from the South. After the parent left, I told them they could just call me by my first name.

We take my mom to various appointments (my current kids are ages 6-11, I'm 51, and my mom is 79), and they call her by her first name as well.

I'm miss Jen or Jen.
DH is hubs ::
One DCK sounded like he was calling him hugs. It took me a few weeks until I figured out he was saying hubs. His mom and I thought it was hilarious. I guess I never refer to DH as his name so the kids just call him what I do.
This same DCM will come in and say "hi hubs" if my DH is in the room and then she laughs. It's great.

[CraftyMom]

I don't think I need to answer this.....kinda obvious.

[CraftyMom]

Miss (craftymom) or just (craftymom).

I prefer the Miss or Ms. Mrs sounds weird to me with just a first name. I'm not a formal enough person for Mrs lastname

They all call me Mommy at some point, some more than others.

They call my husband Daddy quite often, because when he walks in the door my 3 kids yell "Daddy!!" so all the dcks join in too. It's pretty funny when he comes home and a room full of kids yell Daddy! He gets a chuckle out of it, but reminds them he is NOT their daddy :: I just remind them of his name and they correct themselves. It's Adam, and one dcg has named him Daddam, a combo of his name and Daddy ::

My mother in law comes by often as my assistant and joins us on field trips. They all call her grandma, she loves it!

They all call me by my first name. In my handbook, where I introduce myself, I specifically say that's what they should call me. I don't want a title. I feel the kids deserve the same respect from me that I deserve from them, and titles don't factor into that for me. To me, a title doesn't mean respect. I think calling someone the name they prefer is respectful. Curiously, my sister, raised the same way as I was, is very much "Mrs. last-name" to every kid she knows. Personal preference, I guess.

On the flip side, I often call my DCK's "Miss Johnson" or "Mr Smith" or sometimes say Miss/Mr (first name) too.

I think it helps the kids learn and understand names (first and last).

[Childminder]

I have been an aunt since I was 1 year old so have always been "Aunt Cheri". Enter grandkids and now 1/2 call me Gramma and 1/2 Aunt Cheri. Oh, and some call me Gramma Cheri.

[Second Home]

I am called either Ms Missi , Missi , Ms Melissa . It really depends on what the parents want , it does not matter to me.
Here it is common for all adults to be adressed with Ms or Mr then their first name . I have had my kids corected by adults when they used Ms and their last name , .
