I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm curious.
What do your kids call their parents--most of the time? DD calls us mama and papa. Sometimes she calls me Mommy. If she's in a joking mood she calls dh Daddy.

I think it is an option when you make the poll. I do not think you can edit a poll--can you?

I don't know what option to pick! Here's why LOL:

When my 14 mo is upset, she calls both my dh and I "Mommy", when she is happy, she calls us both "Daddy". My oldest dd (now 3.5 yo) used to do that, but calls me "Mommy" now and dh "Daddy"

Well writing it out seems to work better than my $#{{ poll.

Forget the poll. Just tell me!

I have 3 kids, one calls me mom, one mommy and one mama :LOL. Although sometimes I get mommy out of all of them. They call dh dad, daddy and dada. I have one older kid (the mom/dad) a toddler (mommy/daddy) and the baby (mama/dada) or just da sometimes.

Mama and Papa

(I'm pretty sure you can edit a poll to allow more than one choice... I've seen others do it before. Anyone know how??)

DS calls us both Mama, which also seems to be his general word for being upset and wanting comfort. DH wants to be called Pop, whenever DS is old enough to call him by a name.

My kids call us Mom and Dad. When they were younger, they called us Mommy and Daddy. Occasionally, a "Mommy" will slip out when they are sad.

I had to choose other because I couldn't pick two or more options. Mine both call me "Mom" and though dd sometimes calls hubby "Dad", both kids usually call him by his first name.

Most of the time, ds (4 yo) calls me by my first name or Mom. He calls dh 'baby cakes' (my 'pet name' for dh), Dad, or he uses dh's first name.
