DH and I call each other (umma and appa). I think it helped our LO know who we are and learn to say our "names" a lot quicker than the average child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600944 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:50:55 +0000 autumnlove 600944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here!

I actually didn't think about it being strange until reading this post. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600936 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:49:50 +0000 littlek 600936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600929 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:49:13 +0000 mrskc 600929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: @twoofeverything: yeah, I think so too. I guess I subconsciously do it so my LO knows what to call me. I don't think my DH does it tho. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600883 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:42:41 +0000 twoofeverything 600883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're programmed to do it so they'll learn our names! I wonder if it will be hard to stop later on, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600873 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:41:03 +0000 MaisyMay 600873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it too. I think it's so that our LO's have an easier way to identify us by name when older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600872 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:40:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 600872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha I do this. Also I'm never a singular person either. Everything is we or us- and half the time I'm I sure who we or us is! DH and me? DS and me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/why-since-becoming-a-mom-must-i-refer-to-myself-in-3rd-person-all-the-time#post-600865 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:40:01 +0000 mrskc 600865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's ridiculous! I'm always like, "mommy needs to go to the bathroom," "mommy needs to get a burp rag". Mommy this and mommy that all day. Haha. Please tell me I'm not the only one! </p>
