What do you call your mom? (Or moms what do your kids call you?)

I’m a young mom with a pre-teen son and he’s called me “mommy” up until he was about 10 and a half. Since then he’s been calling me “Ma” which I find pretty cute. Especially when he extends it to “Maaa” when yelling from another room. Maybe it’s a southern thing lol. Just curious about what y’all call your moms?

  • Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:

    • Mom
    • Mommy
    • Mama
    • Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
    • Uma
    • Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
    • Her name (when she's being particularly deaf)
