if your two moms what do your kids call you ?

I'm pretty sure their kids would call them both mom xD

 

On a YouTube channel, there's a gay couple who have two kids they adopted and they call one "Daddy Jay" and the other "Daddy Bryan." Maybe a similar concept could be worked out for a lesbian couple.

 

I've never had kids, but I have my own characters that have kids and I made their kids call them "Mom" and "Mama". "Mommy first name here" works too.

 

My friend calls his birth mother mom and his other mom by her first name. His second mom wasn't around when he was really little though, so in his situation, this made more sense to only call one of them "mom." He does call them his parents collectively though, and he does consider them both to be his mom

 

I don't have a kid, but going off of friends and some tv I've seen a few different ways it can work. One person can be mom and the other can be mama or mommy. Or mommy (insert name here) for each person, same idea if both parents are men.

 

I knew a guy who had two moms when I was younger... His sister called them both mom, but he called them both by their first names.

 

I don't have a kid yet, but given I do, I was planning on having him/her call me Nanay or Nay (Mom in Tagalog) and as for my wife, it'll be Mom in her own language. :icon_bigg

 

You know, I was actually wondering the same thing this morning. I sort of thought it'd be "mum" and "mama" or something like that. Mommy *name* works too, now I read it here though.

 

I know a couple whose kids call them "Mama" and "Mumu" (where "Mumu" came from, I have no idea!). And another couple's kids refer to them as "Daddy" and "Papa". Just depends on the couple. Realistically, if you're a straight couple, you could be "Mommy and Daddy", "Mamma and Daddy", "Mommy and Papa", whatever. Just depends what you want them to call you. Once they are teenagers you are usually both just "Ugh" anyhow. :lol:

 

We decided on...

Me: Mama or Ma
Her: Mommy or Mom

Just easier. Plus is goes with our names and cultural backgrounds. My wife calls her mother "Meemoo" though I don't know why or if its just a Lebanese thing. I call my mother Ma, and Mama is an African American archetype of care and concern (Big mama etc). So we both like the terms Mama and Mommy.

 

I guess Madre and Mom
I don't much care for 'Mother'

Lol
:roflmao:

There is no such thing as a stupid question

 

I don't have a kid but if I have one, I want he/she calls me "Dad" and my girlfriend "Mom".

 

My cousin calls his birth mom "Mom," and her wife by her first name.

 

So many options...

Mom
Mommy
Mama
Ma
Maman (French)
Ima (Hebrew)
etc.

I'd just want my kids to have something to call me other than my actual name. I find it weird when kids call their parents by their first name, I feel it doesn't recognize the family ties between them.

 

I've been contemplating this too. I'm not sure what I'd want my kids to call my partner and I.

I thought maybe just Dad and Daddy, or me being Daddy C and my partner Daddy (insert first letter of partner's name), maybe Da (Irish for dad) for me, although that also sounds like Russian for yes xD. I've never really been a fan of Papa, Pappy, or Pops, it sounds too much like what my family calls my grandfather, so I wouldn't want to be called that.

The first name thing just...rubs me the wrong way. It makes you sound more like friends than parents to your kids in my opinion, it just carries less meaning to me.

 

I am the type that if I would've had two parents of the same sex,
I would've given them nick-names. lol

I nicknamed my parents any way. If I give you a nickname it means I really like you. lol

 

If I get involved with a woman (sometimes I think I'd prefer that to a man, if I want a relationship at all) I really wouldn't care what my kids call me. Just as long as they feel like I'm their Mom.
