Well, mine call me MAMA. Am trying frantically to relate the two words: mum and mama since your post.

I don't think there is some thing wrong if you man call you mum. It is a sign of respect and more still you are offering him the services his real mum offer him like cooking for him, washing his cloths etc.
Dont forget that you also pamper him, giving him emotional strenght. I don't think it is out of place if am called MAMA.


What do you think?

Oh No,  We do those stuff together. We take turns. If I cook today, he will cut and clean and vise versa. And I usually will give him a head and shoulder massage and he give me a back maqssage. Stuff like that. We do everything together. Its like if he plays football, I would cheer or if I go play ice hockey, he would cheer.

I call my Mommy and she loves it.

Personally, I think it makes me value her the more because I care so much for my own mother.

By the way, she calls me Daddy and I love it!

Na wa'o for all these women. Wetin dey wrong to call the woman you love 'mom'/'mum'/mummy/momma! I believe it's just a name to show endearment. What about women who call their men 'daddy'. Are we supposed to hit the roof over that? I'm sure guys who call their women 'mum' just want to show appreciatn for the love and care from the women in their lives. just like they would to their real mums. Maybe, a little suggestion can help here; I mean, for instance, the men could call the women lil' (little) mom, to show the difference. I call my girl lil' momma and, you bet, she loves it!!!!

No it's not normal for Nigerian men but it's normal for men from other countries. What a nauseating topic. What's wrong with a "Nigerian" man calling his girl "mom"? undecided

If they call u bitch, u get upset, they call you "my girl" without putting friend you get upset, they call u "mom" or mummy u find it abnormal.

We women indeed have issues

well to be honest here, i as a person don't like it at all. if boyfriend should call me that i will be like "do look like ur mum?" or ""dont u know where u mum is?"". it feels like he wants u to be a mother-hen to him. some like it though so they are entitled to their own feelings and opinion

Men from other countries? But I never heard men from other countries calling their girlfriends mom only so far my Nigerian boyfriends. They call their girlfriends mom and even my boyfriend at times call me mom so thats why I was just wondering.

Well, why can't men just call their girlfriends by their name or something else where it does not have to relate to any of their family members or something which does not sound so odd. Like the other day, my friends called his girlfriend Poo (Poo means Shit to be exact) and so she got offended and then I went to whack his head telling him that theres like a trillion and a gazillion words on earth and he had to call her shit. . . angry

I think its okay for a guy to call his gf 'my girl'.It sounds alright better than calling you his mother!!!

I think some men have issues. . . undecided

Re: Is It Normal For Nigerian Men To Call Their Girlfriends "Mom"? by francessby(f): 1:37pm On Jul 01, 2008
I don't see anything wrong with that, the guy calls a lady mom because he feels you are the second mom he never had, it shows that he loves you as he love his mother and like you know he is not going to live his mom 4ever therefore he's gradually replacing his mom with you.

So what you're trying to say is that I will be his mother instead? undecided lipsrsealed

I think women have issues rather. What's wrong with the idea? Nothing really. It's just the way the guy feels but don't be deceived 'cause calling you mom don't mean he'll end up marrying you. wink
