Are you a snobby ****

I hate "mummy" - "mammy" is much better.

I suppose it is mammy I say, now I some to think of it. Well it sounds like mammy, even though in cards I write mummy.

"Mummy" or "mum" makes you sound like you're trying to be posh and failing miserably

[Puckoon]

Never felt comfortable being called Mr. but I think its a generation thing.

When anyone calls me Mr. XXXX I think my Da is standing behind me or something.

Wouldn't be a big fan of calling parents by their first names - IMO its disrespectful but each to their own.

It's disrespectful to call someone by their name?

I feel like calling my Da by his real name would take something away from him and would be disrespectful.  Like I was denying that he was my parent.

I always found it strange when other people called their parents by their first names, especially young children.  IMO its just not right.

I was talking today about my preference to be called by my first name in school. I had 0% support, even though no one had a sound argument as to why not.

Surely being called Mr O'Neill doesn't mean I'll have more respect than being called Shane.

Also felt bad about my wife giving up her surname but I understand the logistics of it.

Mummy is an ancient Egyptian pharoah. Mam or ma or mammy when you are younger. This mum or mummy thing or changing from the more natural mammy versions to mummy half way through to be more posh. Ridiculous.

Does your da always call you 'son'? If not, is he denying that you are his son?

My dad always calls me son.

I agree. It's weird calling parents by their first name.

Always been mummy to me. Never mammy, mam or mum.
