Cal Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 RE Mom: Most Irish people I know (I'm half Irish) call their parents Mummy and Daddy, regardless of their age. Only the country people say "Mummy" And "Daddy"!! And unfortunetly, I live in Galway(bogger land!!). I used to live in Wicklow, The Garden Of Ireland. I say "Mum" but spell it as "Mom". Quote
TabbyCool Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) I say "mam", it's a Northern thing. It really bugs me when it's mother's day and all the cards say "mum" on them, I don't have a "mum" I have a "mam". It's like the birthday cards for grandmas, I have a grandma and a nanna, but it's really hard to find cards that say "nanna" on them, it's either "gran" or "grandma". Lots of posh people call their parents "mummy" and "daddy", I find it quite amusing! lol I stopped saying "mammy" and "daddy" when I was about 6! Edited April 13, 2006 by TabbyCool Quote
Liz Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I call my parents Mummy and Daddy in private or in front of close friends. I always have that problem too, Tabby. I have a "granny" and a "granda", but I can never find a card that says either. Quote
TabbyCool Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 I think greetings cards are designed by Southerners! Quote
Holly Posted April 13, 2006 Report Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Hey everyone, Happy Easter! *Brings in a basket or easter eggs of all different types. - Help yourselves* I call my mum mummy. In public, anywhere really I'm not ashamed. I can never find greeting cards to say what I want so I just buy ne nice blank ones and add it on myself! Edited April 13, 2006 by Holly Quote
