Ami, abu, mum, dad...

Do you realize that a child calling a parent “ami, mom, mommy, mummy” is a social construct? ? ?
If a child uses a parent’s name, I don’t see how that implies disrespect unless the perception is present that using a parents name is disrespectful.

When we have kids, inshaAllah, they can call us by our names. I don’t find that disrespectful, neither does Matt.

We don’t really care what the rest of society thinks so it works out quite well. . .b/c in our household, using names is not disrespectful.

You contradict yourself, a parent’s name can also be said with tons of love :slight_smile:
