Not 'Mum' anymore!

[marion]

Hi everyone
Need a bit of help. Chloe has decided to call me 'Marion' all the time instead of 'Mum'. She calls me and it sounds so strange. I'm her Mum, not her friend. as I dont live with Chloe I dont feel like a Mum very often and hearing her little voice calling me Mum used to remind me that I was a Mum. Does that sound daft?

Anyone got any ideas on how I can get her to call me Mum again and not Marion???

Thanks Marion.

Hi Marion

have you any idea why she's started calling you by your name instead of mum?

Hey Hun

Sorry already written in your diary about this!

My LO has started calling me by my name too and I get the impression she is just in a phase of trying to push the boundaries. I have chosen to ignore her when she calls me by name and only respond to her when she says Mummy....

Hi Marion,

I think it could be a phase - certainly one mine went through. They both still often call their Dad by his first name though - not sure why this is! But he thinks it's funny so doesn't really pull them up on it.

Come to think of it, my SIL went through the same with her little girl...

Hi Marion

My SIL is also going through the same thing as well. I am certain it is a phrase - try to ignore it as the more attention you give to her with it the more she will think it is a game and a good way to get your attention!
