Fishdog refers to me as twfkam in his blog.
Several of you flit over to the flophaus and take a gander every now and then and then come back and ask me what the hell twfkam means.
The Woman Formerly Known As Momma.
See, I have this thing about my husband calling me momma. I hate it. Absolutely, fucking, hate it. With one exception…when he’s talking to me for the kids. “Momma, can you help Rader with his homework while I do something manly like light the grill?” That’s fine. I have no issue with that.
But, when we’re out together, just the two of us, or we’re at home, just the two of us, or the kids are in the room but Fishdog is speaking to me about something that has nothing to do with them, or if he is blogging about me– he is no longer allowed to call me momma.
It’s been a hard adjustment for him, but he finally did manage to stop referring to me as momma in his blog. Sometime this past spring he finally got a clue. It’s only taken me twelve years to get it into his head…but hey, at least he can be taught, right?

No, I cannot handle it when Jay refers to me as Mama. Usually this is because he is calling for his actual mother, who lives 500 miles away.Yuck.

Mark,*You’re* endearing. But calling Mel ‘momma’ isn’t. Of course, you were smart enough to stop:)

Hey, Congrats on your sucess. My dad still calls my mom , Mom or mother even after all of us have LEFT HOME! I can’t understand it!I hate it personally.I’m NOT his mother..I’m his wife, his bed buddy. Do NOT call me mom…ewwwwww!!!I agree with you. As soon as I found out I was pregnant the first time, I laid down the law, or he wouldn’t get laid.Worked like a charm.

Fishdog’s not alone. My husband does it too. Must be a Southern thing.
