[QUOTE="Andy, post: 157922, member: 5096"] When my now 17 year old was young, she would go between "Mom" and "Mommy". I noticed that it was important which one she choose to use: Mom = I am grown up and want you to approve whatever it is I am about to ask of you because I can handle it. Mommy = I need/want help. I am still young and need you to do something for me. Please, let me do this, it would make me so happy. Or, please do this for me, I can't (aka don't want to) Mom = treat me like a grown up/big kid. Let me do this. Mommy = treat me like your vulnerable child whom you need to meet all my needs. [/QUOTE]
