Does your husband now call you “mommy” or “mommer”. I hate it! We’ve a 3 year old child and now my husband calls me “mommy” or “mommer”.

It's so unromantic and makes me feel like an old grandma rather than a lovely young wife. This morning I told him I don't feel loved anymore and he said to me “I love you mommy” and gave me a kiss goodbye as he was going off to work.

Am I supposed to feel loved when my HUSBAND says the same thing my 3 year old SON states to me…” I LOVE YOU MOMMY!”??? Are any other moms called this now that they’ve a child?


Answer:
You should be happy! Every time he calls you mommy he’s announcing his pride of you being his childs mom. Do you think guy's who aren't as happy with their wives ever call them mommy as an endearing term? No! By calling you Mommy he’s putting you on an even higher pedestal than you just being “honey” or “baby”. Again he’s proud to have you, as a wife and mom of his children, that's why he says it all the time. I'm a guy, that's how I feel.

Answer:
My husband refers to me as momma/mommy but only when he is talking to our son. And I refer to him as daddy when I'm speaking to the baby. Other than that we usually say hon or honey or something like that. I don't mind it, but when it gets to the point of always calling my mommy or soemthing even when our child isn’t around, I would not like that. My father calls my mom -mom- all the time and we’re all grown now and I hate that that’s what he calls her.

Answer:
I never called my wife that, however now that we have grandchildren we do call each other grandma and grandpa, more as a joke than anything else. If it really does bother you, take the advice of all the others and speak with him about it. Maybe he doesn't realize how much it bothers you. Communication is the key to a long and happy marriage(wow that sounded so cliche, but it is true).

Answer:
Yes my husband calls me Momma.He does still call me babe too so its not all the time. So do some of my friends too. It all started when I was pregnant and never wore off. I’m a petite woman and coworker of mine started calling me “little momma” when I was pregnant. That was a little annoying. I don't mind the others though. I guess it comes with the territory.

Answer:
i was never called mommy by my boyfriends but my ideal friend had a boyfriend and she hated it. the sad part is they don't have a child together !! he did it so often that i hated it and almost slapped him to pieces. tell your husband that it isn't funny , your not his mom and that you have a name and its wife to him it isn't mommy .

Answer:
My husband calls me momma, and I call him daddy; that is his new name since we’d our child. There is no wrong in it and he is not trying to annoy you; he is just proud of the fact that you’re his child's mother, you should be proud that he feels this way. If it bothers you that much though just tell him how you feel and that you would like him to halt.

good luck


Answer:
Yup, but usually just when the kids are around. Otherwise it's babe or hun. I glad he does though, because it reinforces what we want the kids to call me (us, I call him father or daddy around them). There have been a few times where one of the children has called me by my name. It was kinda cute, but I'd rather have them call me mom. :)

Answer:
Yes, he does. I think it's endearing. He's not doing it to annoy you, he's doing it because he loves you and he thinks its adorable. If you hate it so much, then ask him nicely to cease calling you that.

Answer:
My husband calls me Mamacita =) i call him daddy. I think is cute he calls you that, I'm pretty sure he's not doing it to annoy you. perhaps you should talk to him and figure out a different nickname

Answer:
Yes, since having children, my husband calls me mommy, and I call him daddy. I think it's sweet.

Answer:
Yes he calls me mommy I call him daddy even during YOU KNOW WHAT!

Answer:
you’ve to look at it this way - being called mommy is a relatively new experience for you.

your kid is only 3, so you’ve only been called mommy for about 2 years(?)

i think it's just his way of showing you that he adores you and his family. you’re the mom of his child - what else could a man ask for.

i think he's trying to be sweet.

i dont get called mommy a lot (my fiance has a kid from another woman so she doesn't call me mom often and he does sometimes when i do something 'mom-like') so when i get called mother it makes me feel pretty good.

maybe it's your husband's way of subconsciously letting you know that he wants you to call him daddy

lol

i know any unwanted pet name can be annoying

just let your man know that it bothers you


Answer:
This just shows the difference between men and women and you can correct me if I'm wrong but here it goes.

You said “I don't feel loved anymore”

What you thought you stated to him ” I don't feel loved anymore, I'm more than your baby's momma. I am your wife and it would be nice if you treated me like the young attractive woman you married. You use to buy me flowers and hold my hand. You use to hug me and tell me how much you loved me. Now all you do is say I love you mommy. It just doesn't make me feel the way all those other things make me feel. I need more romance in my life.

What he heard from you “I don't feel loved anymore”

Imediate response to that is “I love you momma”

I’m well experienced in this because my wife does the exact same thing. Even the most sensitive of guys aren't that bright when it comes to things like this. You need to sit down and actually tell him everything you thought you were telling him when you stated you don't feel loved anymore. If you do that I’m sure things will change for the superior for you.
