Well, I call mine mum, and my cousins in Sligo do too. I'd like to think that none of us have any delusions of grandeur!
110% with ye on this one!! i hate it!!!
I was going to post a similar thread... i hate the middle class term. Mummy! Mummy says... Heard a posh child on the train saying that on the train the other day. It really gets on my t!ts for some reason. I call mine Mammy, or Mum. Dot mind Mom so much though.
I've never heard anyone say Mummy and if i did i'd hit them, regardless of age.
Mam all the way although i used say Mom when i was ickle.
Mam thats what I use....
The Old Lady for me.
I call mine ma or mom...
Ma and ma only when i'm talking to her,if i called her anything else my brothers would beat the sh*te out of me.
When i'm refering to her in conversation,it's me Aul wan.
mum for me, always has, always will be.
Always think it's only buffs that say mammy:D. Tis mum for me.
C*rist have you lot little to be worrying about? Who cares if someone calls there mother mum or mam
Didn't we have this thread last year?

Best of luck.
I call mine Mam back home but call her her Mum when I'm referring to her over here. I used to cringe at the word Mummy before I moved away from Cork but now that I'm enveloped in it over here in Scotland I prefer the word Mum. My little boy refers to his mother as Mum.
Sometimes I hear my brothers calling my Mam "Mammy" and it just sounds all babyish to me.
Ma.
When I was a kiddo it was Mammy. My Dad I call Dad or sometimes I call him Kevin.
Has to be a posh middle class English thing. Vaguely related topic, a posh guy in my old job insists that Mother's Day is always "Mothering Sunday" which baffles me!
