Re: What do your kids call you?
My son calls me “Akka,” not sure where he got that from…but he has been calling me that since he started to speak. I wanted him to call me mama or mammy but now i am fine with it. I love it! its very unique. I even got a shirt made with “Akka” on it…for his second bday :
he calls his dad, Abu.

Re: What do your kids call you?
^ i think that kid is soo disrespectful. I would hate if my son called me by my name and ordered me around like i was his age.
Re: What do your kids call you?
I think such conversations are healthy for the child/parent relationship; Instead of shutting the kid out, the mom is hearing him out and he’s clearly speaking his own mind at age 3…I RATHER have my child talk to me than a teacher or a counsellor…Just sayin’
Re: What do your kids call you?
mama and baba
my sister’s kids call their dad baba and I loved it so we copied that

Re: What do your kids call you?
Mama and daddy
Re: What do your kids call you?
my nieces and nephew call their father DAD and their mother MOM.
while other siblings’ children call their parents as:
-ammii/abbu
-baabaa/ammii
-abba/ammaaN
Re: What do your kids call you?
Our daughter calls us Mama and Abu.
It might evolve though, as I started out calling my mother Ammi and somewhere along the line it turned into Mom and I haven’t looked back since.
Mommy & Daddy
She used to call her great grandmother Ami & calls her Nani “Ami Jaan”. So “Ami” is out of the question.
I prefer Baba & Ummi. But her father prefers Daddy. He calls his own father Daddy. Daddy & Ummi would have sounded awkward together so “Mommy & Daddy” it is for now.
Re: What do your kids call you?
I call my parents Mama and Papa.
Re: What do your kids call you?
LOL that video of the kid is hilarious, “Linda, LInda, Linda”, “honey listen”. ROTFL!! He is obviously repeating what he has seen his dad do.
Re: What do your kids call you?
Mama and Baba. My son decided that’s what he’d call us himself, as we were encouraging him to say mummy dad day/dada. I prefer mama and baba though.
Re: What do your kids call you?
.I hope he keeps it up, it’s different from the usual mom/ammi variations. My eldest cousin on my maternal side would fir some reason call my mamoo “Papa Ji”…and he liked it so much…that it stuck. That’s what we all call our mamoo. Heck even my mom and all of her susters also call mamu that. My sab se bari khala who must now be in her 80s is called Aapa by her younger siblings. And me and my siblings and all us cousins call her Aapa instead of khala or aunty. And my family referred to dada and dadi as bari ammi and abu ji…and we call our parents Mama and Papa. So, we’re all for messing up the traditional system, lol.
Re: What do your kids call you?
Growing up in the middle east I have heard this term for mother from locals; I am pretty sure it’s arabic
Re: What do your kids call you?
actually, the word is Ummii [alif meem pesh, meem, ye] which means 'MY mom" [umm=mother; ye denotes mine/my]
**Ammii is the Urdunized version of Ummii
**btw, 'Amwii [ai’n, meem, vaao, chhoTii he] = uncle
**ummii **[alif, meem (tashdeed), ye] = jaahil, naa_Khowaandah
Re: What do your kids call you?
I grew up in the Middle East and I have taught at an Islamic school…I’ve heard the Arabs call their biological and non-biological uncles as “Aamu”…not Aamwu. What language does Amwi belong to?
Re: What do your kids call you?
I read in some interviews that she decided to teach her kids her and her husbands first name because of an incident: they were at a picnic and a little kid got lost. they had a hard time finding his parents because all he could identify them with was “mommy and daddy.” Smart move I think.
Re: What do your kids call you?
We’re Mama and Daddy (or Dadda).
The hubby calls the little one “baba”. My brother is called “baba” by his daughters… it’s gets rather confusing when we’re altogether… “are we talking about big baba or small baba?”
