OMG he looks like his Daddy!

Maya calls me Emma occasionally but I just tell her very firmly "I am Mama, not Emma to you". And she seems to get the message. LOL at her little friend Milan tho, she calls me Mama too, I think they get confused!]]> Fri, 29 Jul 2005 14:00:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12391&title=first-name-only#12391 <![CDATA[first name only? : thanks guys... i think he was...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12371&title=first-name-only#12371 Author: Bizzy

That's the truth............

The other thing i do is when i ask briana to do something for me i say "can you please get so and so for mummy",  or when i get her something a drink or a sandwhich i ask her to say "thank you mummy".......if you speak about yourself using the word mummy then your child will eventually do the same.

I called my grandfather by his first name because he used to take me to his work when I was little. I copied everyone else. Didn't mean I didn't love him any less. I adored him!!!! (Jake's middle name is from his great-grandad)..so remember that your baby may not say mummy, but he still loves you lots and lots.]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2005 19:58:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12287&title=first-name-only#12287 <![CDATA[first name only? : Maybe get your hubby to refer...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12283&title=first-name-only#12283 Author: AlyAyde

Yes i agree - explain to your child why other people/stepson call you by you first name - and when your child does it tell him/her that yes that is your name but you would like it if he/she called you mummy because that makes you feel special.  Good luck ]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2005 15:00:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12276&title=first-name-only#12276 <![CDATA[first name only? : yep that&#039;s a great idea,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12261&title=first-name-only#12261 Author: mum2paris

yep that's a great idea, or explain that your stepson calls you that because you aren't his mummy, but that he should call you mummy.

Paris calls me mummy, but she calls her dad any number of things, from mike, michael or daddy. if she's tired it's dad, if she's being silly it's mike and if she's trying to be angry with him it's michael "no michael, stop!" i hardly ever hear daddy very often at all unless she's annoyed with me, then she'll deliberately go to him and cuddle himand call him daddy. sometimes kids can be so catty.. lol]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2005 13:50:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12261&title=first-name-only#12261 <![CDATA[first name only? : Kids usually copy other kids....so...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12250&title=first-name-only#12250 Author: Roksana

Kids usually copy other kids....so I am sure it is just a phase. He should be back to normal soon. My 3 year old causin use to call her mum by her name, because every body around her called her by her name. But now she is calling her Mummy.

May be you should ignore him when he calls you by your name and only respond when he calls you mum(my)...he should soon get the point.

my 20 month old wont call me mummy...
after having the step son for the first week of the hols, at dinner after he had gone my boy called me by my first name...i was so upset i burst into tears..(baby blues didnt help that tho).
still he wont say mummy, mumma, or even mum. lots of daddy and yells out to him too.
its breaking my heart... i always knew he would break my heart when he got older, but i thought i had a while to go. ]]> Wed, 27 Jul 2005 13:00:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=811&PID=12247&title=first-name-only#12247
