Mom + Mom; What do you call them?
« on: March 06, 2013, 12:33:46 AM »
Okay so let's say that rather than a mother and a father you instead have two mothers.

Mom + Mom

We can say they either adopted you, or maybe cloned one of themselves, or used a X chromosome from each mother, or maybe one of your mothers is just a futanari (you don't know which! It could even be both...  :o).

We're assuming for the sake of this question that you are in an English speaking country, so we'll be following along with that in mind.

So, what do you call them?

Do you call them both mom?
Do you use their real names?
Do you call one mom and one dad?
Do you call one mom and the other her real name?
One mom and one mama?
One mother one mom?
Something else?

Let's hear your take on what you think you'd go with if you were transplanted into such a scenario.

Most of us have two grandmothers/fathers and I know a lot of people here call the other grandpa/ma and the other papa/mama or whatever variation due to different dialects. That would seems like the logical solution to this problem too.

So it'd be ma and mum or something like that.

PS. other mom and dad are just stupid.  :P

Because we can!

I actually called both sets of grandparents "grandma" and "grandpa" because luckily they were never actually in the same room. Though a two mother situation in the same room creates an issue.

I, too, call both my grandparents the same way but since you usually address the person with other methods than just talking it never became an issue.

My grandparents are "grandma" and "grandpa".  In my family, if we need to differentiate between my mom's parents & my dad's parents, we usually tack the applicable last name on the end.  "Grandma" becomes "Grandma Orr", for example.  I have, though, often seen other people refer to one set of grandparents one way ("grandma" & "grandpa") and the other set with a different nickname ("papa" and "meemaw" or whatever the hell you can think of).
 
I've never had two moms, so I don't know what I would call them.  If I was raised by two moms, I would call them whatever they taught me to call them.
 
A much more common scenario would be where a husband & wife divorced and each got remarried, so a child has both parents and step-parents.  And again, it would pretty much depend on the specifics of the family dynamic as to who would be called what.  I've known people who are closer to one or both step-parents than they are to to their biological parents, and who thus call their step-parents "mom" and "dad".

I have a feeling that one would be calling them by their names. That or mom and mom. Hey, if you got two comforts by doing that, do you think you would have stopped, if you were a wee tyke?

Hahaha, this reminds me of a very common form of name calling in my local community: "mor di æ mænn" ("your momma is a man", written in local dialect), if you have time you can also prolong it with the "...and your father wishes he was one".

Anyhow, semantics isn't really a problem here, social acceptance is.
For one thing, Tiff is not on any level what I would call a typical American.  She's not what I would consider a typical person.  I don't know any other genius geneticist anime-fan martial artist marksman model-level beauties, do you?

thats even worse man

all kids need at least one mother to nurture them and take care of them. this world is going down the shitter coz everyone is working 9-5 and kids are being sent to daycare centres or being raised by nannies instead of being wrapped up in true love™ by their ma. im not sayin womyn shouldnt ever work im just saying that the mother should be there to take care of their young kid but then again everything is so expensive these days its hard to get by on one salary, especially if you live in 3rd worldia

sorry bros im not trying to knock anyones way of life or anything i just believe that natural shit weve been doing for thousands of years is whats best. natural stuff is good, thats why bup and shit will never be as good as morphine for blissing out

anyways back on topic i guess id call them both ma since calling them da would just be retarded and calling them by their real names would just feel weird and impersonal, same as calling one ma and the other by their name

Well, even though I don't speak english as my first language I'll try this out. Yes, one of my mother's is a Futanari.


So, what do you call them? Oka-chan and Ka-chan(Futa), English would be... Mother and mom/mama...? I think?

Do you call them both mom? No.
Do you use their real names? No.
Do you call one mom and one dad? No.
Do you call one mom and the other her real name? No.
One mom and one mama? Close! No cigar!
One mother one mom? Yes~
Something else? Sometimes I call Ka-chan/Mother, Obasan/Auntie instead since she is my Oka-chan/Mother's sister.

I call my dad by his real name. It actually made him upset so I've had to actively try to call him "dad." I dunno why, he's worked abroad a lot of my life and so I almost see him as more a friend than a parent. Come to think of it, I view my mum the same way but still call her "mum." I dunno, whichever came more naturally.

Volosus: A healthy child should ideally have a balance of masculinity and femininity. People assume this means a man and a woman, but that's not the case. Nor does a man being feminine or visa versa make them camp/butch. I agree that it'd be good to have at least one parent stay and raise them for their early years, but that's not always possible, and I don't think it matters which parent.
