I am about 7 weeks pregnant. Well I told one of my friends and she started calling me "mama". Well this really bugs me.

So today she sent me a text "Hey Mama! How's it going?" so I replied "Good. I am going to ask you this and it isn't to be rude. I just don't really like it. Can you please not call me that. I don't know why but it just bugs me. Sorry "

Well she replied "ok then. Just thought you would have a sense of humor." "ttyl" "I'm sure your child will call you that when they learn to talk" .....EXACTLY!!!! My kid will call me that! Not my friends! I was trying to be nice about it and this is what you flipping send me!

So I replied "it's not that. I do have a sense of humor. It has just been a me and DH thing. I am just not ready for it to come from else where." "I really didn't mean it in a rude way. Sorry." ... She hasn't replied.

I seriously don't know why it bugs me so much but I want to be known as mommy to my hubby and my kids. Not my friends. I want to still be me. Just because I am becoming a mom I don't want to lose my identity as well. Half of my friends have lost them selves in their children and the other half have found a nice balance. I want to be part of the later. But seriously I would never call my friends mama or anything. I might bug them about becoming a mom in a fun cutsey way but I would never call them it in every conversation.......

Who calls you mom (or any variation of)? Do any of your friends call you that? Would you be ok with it? Am I wacko for not liking it? Is there any one who would feel the same way I do? Please tell me I am not alone.

I really want to write a hormone driven angry text back but instead I have decided to write it on here. Sorry...
