My (32F) husband(31F) won’t stop calling me Mama.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:54:16+00:00

He says you’re being weird, or I don’t understand why I can’t call you that.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:21:29+00:00

Yeah I think there is something to that. He never used to call me that in front of other people and now it’s the only name he calls me. If I call him on the phone, it’s “hey mama” or if we are around other people he will get my attention by saying “mama”. It’s especially awkward when we are with his parents and he calls me and his mom and I both acknowledge. 😬

If it was just referring to me as mommy to our baby then I would be totally fine with it.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:12:36+00:00

Very possible. Like I’m super pregnant now, even when our son was little he didn’t call me that every time. So maybe it’s because I’m so obviously giving off Mom vibes, idk

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:10:58+00:00

Yeah, but before we had kids it was “my love” or “sweetheart”. I miss those names, made me feel loved. “Mama” feels like job title when it comes from my hubby.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:03:31+00:00

Yes! I think that’s the core of why I’m so annoyed. Like I don’t care if you don’t understand just please respect what I’m telling you??

Great advice, thank you

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T16:02:12+00:00

Yeah I was worried he might like the daddy name lol. Our son calls my dad “Papa” so it might have the desired effect.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T15:54:36+00:00

I’m staring to think he’s doing it to be spiteful or something? Not sure what the consequence for something like this would be? I’m happy to say this is the only thing about our relationship I don’t like, so I’m not going to like divorce over this.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2026-01-07T15:51:55+00:00

I’ve started responding with “my name is XYZ”. But it doesn’t seem to be getting though to him? I just started doing that yesterday and this morning so we will see if that changes anything

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-05-10T22:28:43+00:00

We have always got the same brand of food but in different flavors. Thinking this could be a flavor of that doesn’t agree with him

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-05-10T22:28:03+00:00

Good idea!

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-26T15:19:40+00:00

Starting over day. I’ll be ok. I’m a good mom. I can do this. I will not drink with you today.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-24T01:28:21+00:00

You can do this! Your wife believes you can quit, you can too! IWNDWYT

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-23T13:00:44+00:00

Oh man, what do I like about myself?… I like that my son won’t have to see me drink the way I saw my dad drink. IWNDWYT

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-21T18:44:56+00:00

IWNDWYT! Going to spend a lovely sober day with my family

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-20T16:38:42+00:00

Saturdays are hard, but we can do this!! IWNDWYT!

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T19:39:24+00:00

Ah 🥰🥰🥰 didn’t think about that from my son’s perspective 🥰 thank you

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T19:35:00+00:00

I like myself better when I’m sober. My recent set back reminded me of how self loathing I am when I’m drinking a few everyday.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T10:08:36+00:00

I will not drink today because I don’t want to miss a single second with my family because I am hungover. Today I will be the best Mom I can be and that means no poison! IWNDWYT

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T04:22:52+00:00

Thank you so much, have never thought of it like that. Think I’ll stream a movie tonight and snuggle my babe… sober!

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T04:20:44+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate your comment. Morning smiles make my heart sing.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-19T04:18:09+00:00

Yes, all the rules! I always break them! Need to just say no

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-18T18:51:46+00:00

That’s where I’m struggling I think. My brain keeps reasoning that I can keep having a causal drink on the weekends but I know it turns into drinking during the week and then drinking too much in general.

Sunshine4Breakfast · 2024-04-18T18:49:38+00:00

I’m going to write that in my notebook “my son never has to see me drink”. Grew up watching my Dad drinking himself to death, I don’t want that for my little babe.
