mott’s mutterings

No more Mama, No more Papa

Filed under: Mixed Bag, Parenting

My kids. They don’t call me, Mama anymore.

My kids. They don’t call Mr.T, Papa anymore.

I feel so sad. We liked being called Mama and Papa. Very chinese-y.

I am now, Mu-um (to No.1) and Mummy (to No.2).

Mr.T is now, Da-ad (to No.1) and Father (to No.2).

Mum, Mummy, Dad and Father.

Sigh…..

  7. So strange that they can just change the name calling just like that. The other day, a friend of mine who married an angmoh told me that her husband wants the son to call him dad when he grows up as it is cool and as for now the baby boy can still call him daddy.
