Names for each other.

[Tiny Sue]

We promised each other we'd never call each other "mammy" and "daddy", but always by our Christian names. However, Mammy and Daddy have crept in, particularly when we are around Naomi. I've actually called OH Daddy in public a couple of times and once when my brother was about. He nearly wet himself laughing.

Anyone else do this?

There is a downside to not having the names Granny and Grandad! My MIL and FIL don't like to be called Granny and Grandad, they say it makes them feel ancient. My SIL's oldest, who has all four grandparents, all of whom prefer their Christian names to Granny or Grandad, was once asked to write a story about his grandparents in school. Halfway through the exercise he burst into tears because he thought he had none!

We talked about this and agreed we would call each other Mummy and Daddy in front of Ellie, and have now pretty much got into the habit of it. We want Ellie to call us that, so we will call each other that.
