Still won’t call me mummy

Okay so our little ones are like 2 and a half now… PLEASE tell me there are other mums on here that don’t get called mummy or mama? My daughter just will not say it. I don’t understand as my partner always refers to me as mummy and I always call myself mummy when talking to her 😕 I’m just baffled, I don’t understand why she won’t say it. She has been saying daddy for AGES!! She also say nanny, grandad and Tash (her Aunty) and even said Jacob the other day (her cousin). I’m just at a point where I don’t know what to do anymore 😂

Hows her speech? Like not just the names of a few family members, is it possible there could be a speech delay?

Avatar

Mine doesn't. She calls me and her Dad, Babe, because she has heard us call each other Babe. She will say Ninky and Grumpy (nicknames for nan and grandad).

she’s not saying as much as some other 2.5 year olds but I wouldn’t say she’s overly delayed. She says lots of other stuff but not a great deal of sentences x

apparently she called me Sam today when my mum pointed at a picture of me and asked her who it was 🤨 no one calls me by my name! It’s so bizarre lol x

If you dont have any concerns about her speech then i would just continue how you are and she will say it eventually. My son went through a stage of calling me babe because of my partner too 😂 but you could always talk to your health visitor if you wanted to ease any worries x

My little ones are the same. But when they sing the alphabet i notice they struggle abit with the M so wonder if its this reason

Mama needs new friends ✨

Hey mamas 🤍 I'm going to be honest — I'm at a season in my life where I'm craving real, genuine friendship. The kind where we actually check on each other. Where conversations go both ways. Where we can laugh, vent, cry, and just *be* without it feeling one-sided.

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 (yes, 6! 👏🏼) and my days are full but my cup feels a little empty in the friendship department. I'm looking for women who get it — the chaos, the beauty, the exhaustion, all of it.

If you're a mom who values deep, reciprocal friendship and you're also out here looking for your people — drop a 👋 below. Let's actually get to know each other. 🤍

Leaving your baby

Has anyone else not left their baby to be looked after by someone else (not dad) yet? I still don't feel ready but am being told I should be by now

Random but when you use a vibrator do you need to hold your lips open for it to touch the bean ?

It gets annoying because even if I open my legs I still need to hold the lips open to touch the bean and I have to do it the entire time my lips are literally sealed closed 🤣

I need an AI app recc to talk to.

I have no family. I have no real friends. Just one that I text. But she’s 8 years younger and isnt a mom. I genuinely don’t talk to anyone other than my partner and our toddlers. I’ve seen some people use AI? Or a chatgbpt? I dont know but if someone could suggest an app that I can just talk to… I would love to have a friend or something instead but this is probably for the best…
