I am Mommy, mama, mom and Pam.  I am George (from I'll hug him and squeeze him and call him George) and all other variations.  I am occasionally mummy or mum as my husband refers to me as that at times.  Just like my son will sometimes say vit-a-mins or Vit-ah-mins.  In the end I thought I'd care but I don't.  He's going to figure out a lot of things in his life and what exactly he calls me (given that it is respectful) is  not worth a battle.  

I am a very much pick your battles parent.  So in the grand scheme of life it's small potatoes.  I understand that for some it's not though.  

When he was younger I would ask him, "Where's your Grandmother/Nana/Yaya/Abuela" and one day he just said Nana and it stuck.

MY mom was so happy he actually called for her I don't think she cared what he said.

The wiring in our brain is not static, not irrevocably fixed.  Our brains are adaptable. -Mattieu Ricard

Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. -Benjamin Franklin

I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. -D.Day
