Mammy or Mummy??

[beth3735]

I am a Mummy, nothing else, but since moving to Wales I have found when my girls bring homemade cards home for me from school the Teacher has put Mammy in instead of Mummy Ok I adore the cards but hate the word Mammy for me!!!

My mad over due preg woman hormones are running riot today, but getting a card with Mammy in just made me want to stamp my feet and demand im a Mummy

I voted Mummy

DS calls me Mum most of the time occasionally he calls me Mam. I say Mam though to my Mother

Alana calls me Ummy, so im sure it will rub off on LO

 

[DebbieM]

Mummy for me.

My Mum was from Glasgow so she called her Mum "Ma" but I'm only half Scottish so it's Mummy

 

[Nicola g]

Im called mammy to my two but we are welsh

 

[monster_munch]

Mummy all the way for me
(especially as I was called 'DaDa' until 3 months ago!)

We live in the North East and Mammy is the norm, but I am a southerner and will be Mummy.

Mummy here. My OH (who's Dutch) went to an international high school and spoke (American) English there. He's finally got out of the habit of saying "mommy", thank goodness. Now to try and get him to stop saying "diapers"...

 

[Full of hope!]

We're from the north east too so i'm a Mammy

 

[Sarah&Braydon]

[Babylicious]

Up north it's all mam and mammy but since I come from down south I prefer Mum or mummy.

MAMMY
I'll hopfully be a Mammy to my boy when he's born as im Northern and that's how we say it
My Mam is Mam
my Mams Mam is Mam and so on
none of this Southern way of saying stuff
Of course he'll speak more Southern living down here
but i'll make sure he know's his heritage from up North

and the words that matter such as Mam and Mammy will be ones id hope Collier adopts
