My brother only uses those terms when talking to me or his wife but calls them Mom, Ma, Dad, etc. MM calls me Mom in front of her friends and in general conversation. When she's snuggling or wants something, etc. she reverts to Mommy. She usually addresses her cards and gifts to Mommy as well. She started this a couple years ago when she got too old to be kissed goodbye when I dropped her off at school. She outgrew that and now hugs and kisses me all the time, but still won't call me Mommy infront of friends if she can help it. I still call my parents Mommy & Daddy.

My kids never seem to make up their minds what to call me. I get a mixture, mom, mommy, mama, Loretta (little mister independent free spirit likes to call people by their first name) .... as long as whatever they call me ends in a hug I'm usually okay with it.
