The post from Mark mentioning he calls his ex Momster got me thinking about the names our kids call us and our ex's...


So what do your kids call:


You?


Your ex?


(if applicable) the new SO in your life or your ex's life?


Your parents?


Your ex's parents?

Of course, I occasionally get the Stewie version from Family Guy:


"Mom, mom, mom, mummy, mummy, mummy, mother, mother, mother, momma, momma, momma...." which makes us both laugh....

You? I've always been just Mom, or Mommy.

Your ex? Usually Dad, but there was a time when S19 was 14 and he worked at the office he noticed the difference in his dad's behavior at work from his behavior at home. He dubbed his father Dr. (our last name)/Mr. Hyde and wanted to know who was home that day.

(if applicable) the new SO in your life or your ex's life? the call him M (his full first name)

Your parents? Grandma, and since my dad passed on when I was pregnant with S19 he is Grandpa in Heaven

Your ex's parents? Bubby and Dido, it's an Eastern European thing

M and I refer to our x's as PsychoBoy and Crazy Momma

Love this question!


Ave calls me Mommy, or Mimi. She started using Mimi a few years ago, on her own. I love it.


She calls her Dad, Daddy, Dada, or sometimes Dede.


His parents she called Papa Gus (he passed recently) & Gramma Anne.


My mom she called Baba Lisa. When she was learning to talk, she coudlnt say Gramma, so she came up w/ "Baba", & it stuck. So my Dad is Baba Dick.


But the FUNNIEST, is my Gramma is still alive ... 94! & she got the nickname from ME, 38 yrs ago, of "Other Mommy". Apparently my paretns were away for 2 weeks & i kept telling people she was my Other Mommy. So it stuck. All the kids after called her that & still, till this day, she is called that & she signs her name to cards as "O.M."

My kids calls me "Dad."


I refer to my ex as "my former spouse" to others for I wanted to be respectful and not call her the "X" and sometimes "momster" with my kids (with a touch of irony).


I refer to CNDG by her first name as with all my friends with my kids.


My parents when they were alive "Mom" and "Dad."
