echineko 1 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Hello I wonder, how do you call your mother - Mother, Mum or something else? Perhaps even her name? Maybe different in different country, or just personal preference? Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I call her Mum, and my dad Dad. Using their first names just sounds weird. And seems to be too friendly, they are my parents first and foremost. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 10 minutes of sneaky mum! Why 10 minutes?!? Yep Mum and Dad here too. I presume SoSoy is Klingon? Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 10 minutes of sneaky mum! Why 10 minutes?!? Yep Mum and Dad here too. I presume SoSoy is Klingon? Dunno Scouser, one of the boys put it on my Facebook page over something last year, and since then they often call me 'you sneaky (or cheeky) Mom' in the same voice/accent of the kid in the video. It was one of those things that just evolved. Link to post Share on other sites

Jerro 0 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I recently finished up on Facebook, the whole thing just started to creep me out too much and I decided to try and live more in the real world. I know of a few people who have recently done the same. Link to post Share on other sites

634-maru 4 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I recently finished up on Facebook, the whole thing just started to creep me out too much and I decided to try and live more in the real world. I know of a few people who have recently done the same. Me too. I'm so glad I did, I highly recommend it. As for the parents, I'm the same as pretty much all the others saying here. I had this friend back home who used to call them Mummy and Daddy, even though he was 30. Link to post Share on other sites
