So she knows his name. Not sure if she knows my name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313089 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 20:38:34 +0000 Foodnerd81 2313089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If talking to her we say mommy/ daddy (daddy is on his way home! Let's let mommy sleep). If talking to each other more often name unless we are being funny. </p> <p>C know dhs name and sometimes says it to be funny- like if I say something in an annoying voice she repeats his name in the same tone and laughs, which makes us laugh. And if you say "who's b---?" She says Daddy! but if you say what's daddy's name, she says daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313067 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 20:18:11 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2313067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: mine too!!! </p> <p>We basically do the same as your family Mr. Bee but we have more opportunities to call each other mom/dad because our children are still very small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313055 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 20:07:14 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2313055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say things like "give this to daddy" "daddy is funny!" "Where is daddy?" To my son, but when talking to my husband I call him his first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313054 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 20:06:57 +0000 lawbee11 2313054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Yep! We taught her our first and last names for safety reasons as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313051 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 20:02:26 +0000 lovehoneybee 2313051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when I'm talking to him "Go ask Daddy". He does call us by our first names sometimes, but we've also been teaching him what our names are, in case he gets lost </p> <p>"What do you if you get lost"<br /> "Find a police office or a mommy with a stroller"<br /> "And what do you tell them?"<br /> "I lost/want my mommy and daddy"<br /> "And what are our names?"<br /> "Sarah McK and David McK" </p> <p>(and Oma McK...even though his Oma's name is Katie D, which he now knows :silly: ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313050 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 19:55:24 +0000 Smurfette 2313050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when talking to her. She has called us both by our names a couple of times. I think it is hilarious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313047 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 19:53:23 +0000 lawbee11 2313047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only when I'm talking to her. Like "Go see dada," "Go ask dada," etc. Otherwise first names. LO knows both of our first names but still calls us mama and dada. She does call DH "dada first name" sometimes which I think is kind of funny :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313044 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 19:50:08 +0000 travelgirl1 2313044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always do, but she knows our names and calls us them occasionally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2313042 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 19:48:04 +0000 katsupgirl 2313042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We call each other "mama" and "daddy" mostly. My DH has a nickname I use frequently so she sometimes calls him by his nickname too. </p> <p>It gets confusing because my sisters and I still refer to our parents as mommy and daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312946 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 17:28:52 +0000 Corduroy 2312946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes because LO will call us whatever we call each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312933 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 17:01:23 +0000 LadyPantaloons 2312933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't used to but then our daughter started calling her dad "Mark." Soooo.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312925 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:56:16 +0000 woodentulip 2312925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312908 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:33:28 +0000 iheartleopardprint 2312908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always use mum and dad. So do my parents, as in your dad/ your mum. I think my grandparents do the same as well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312895 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:16:08 +0000 Mamasig 2312895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I'm talking to my husband, I say baby. If I'm talking to my son about my husband, I say daddy. We don't really call each other by our 1st name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312890 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:13:27 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2312890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always. If you ask DD what mom's name is she says "Mama." I'm happy with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312884 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:11:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 2312884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, most of the time. Unless I'm specifically trying to get my husband's attention or something, then I'll use his first name. My parents still call each other mom and dad in front of me, and I'm nearly 34!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312882 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:09:35 +0000 looch 2312882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and as a result my son refers to my husband by his first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312877 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:05:30 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2312877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents still refer to each other as "your mom" and "your dad" when talking to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312862 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:54:47 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2312862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: cute!</p> <p>One of my friends parents still refer to each other as mom and dad. He said they always used it because he was an only child. I'm not sure what I will do. So far when I speak to fetus I say "your father" or "daddy." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312857 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:49:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 2312857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When speaking to the kids/in front of them I say Dad/daddy. the few times I've used his first name, we get a week of LO1 using his first name because she thinks it's funny ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-each-other-mommy-and-daddy-in-front-of-the-kids#post-2312833 Wed, 07 Oct 2015 15:29:31 +0000 mrbee 2312833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the context for me... if we're playing a board game as a family, then I'll refer to Bee as "mommy". If we're on a playdate with another family, I will use her real name. As the kids get older, I'm pretty sure we'll only use our real names.</p> <p>What's your "mommy"/"daddy" policy? </p>
