Opinions? Children calling parents by their first name

Just wanted to reply from the view of an adult who called their mom by their first name as a child I started when I was three I think and never changed. When I was 8 they tried, but by then I was rebelling. When I became a teen, it just felt weird to say mom...and honestly as a young adult it was still strange. Usually I just say nothing and it is really hard. I do say mom now out of respect, but I feel awkard every time I say it.

It is totally up to you though...it is hard to think of the long term. I guess is it something you think is cute now but will not think it is cute in a couple of months or do you think you would not mind it if she continued to call you it.

BTW: I get my son to say my name too because it is cute He just does not know it is "my" name

For my dd, this was a phase. She realized that we had names other than mom, dad, gma, gpa....and she wanted to use them. When the novelty wore off, she went back to mommy and daddy and gammy and grampy.

I did like the phase. I thought it was so cute! But I am happy to be Mommy to her

I always thought it was odd when children called their parents by their first name, but really...I haven't thought of it in so long that I have no clue what my opinion is. So I'll be to see what everyone thinks and then form my opinion.

My dd (almost 3) will do it when she's trying to get my attentiong, especially when I'm on the phone of on the computer.

Hey Mommy?
Mommmmy!
Maaammmaa!!
Excuse me, KATE?

She calls dh by his 1st name sometimes too. We don't correct her. It's funny!

I call dd by her name, why shouldn't she call me by my name?

I think it sounds weird and hilarious, but to each his/her own .

I do lot of stuff that other people think is weird, I'm sure. In fact, I consider it an indication that I'm on the right track

My kids do both and it doesn't bother me at all. Does other people, though!

I perfer and will "teach" mommy daddy ect but learning our real names is also part of growingup so in the content of a toddler/child learning I don't mind being called by our first names. DD (3.5) has learned my DH name. Shawn she often says daddyshawn now Shes learning thats cool. I'm still just Mommy

Mine mostly call me Mama, which I certainly don't mind, but I actually prefer it when they call me by my first name. Being a squishy liberal type, I don't really like titles. I think they only started with Mama because Brigianna is a bit hard to say. They've never called my husband anything but Daddy, though.

My ds will sometimes use my name when he's disagreeing with me--"Bwiganna, that's not making sense!"--like I'm not worthy of the title anymore . Maybe they'll pick it up more when we're less isolated.

My DD just figured out as well we have different names other than Mamma and Daddy, so sometimes she calls us by our first name and it is adorable! Especially if she is hearing me holler for my hubby and starts hollering in the same tone of voice "Hey CHAD! HEY CHAD! CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-AAAAAAD! Mamma NEEEEDS you!" :

Of course I prefer to be called Mamma, but if she honestly felt more comfortable calling me by my first name, that would be fine too. No matter what she calls me, I'll always be her mom, nothing could ever erase that.

My 2.5 yo usually calls me "Mama" but once in awhile she'll call me by my name, and I really don't mind one bit. Sometimes when she says, "Mama?" I will say, "Yes, Daughter?". The whole title thing strikes me as weird, but I really do love "mama".

I have a friend with a 7yo that calls her dad by his name, and I think it's pretty cute.
