My kids (29, 27, 25, 23) mostly use Mom and Dad now, but sometimes a son will still say 'Mama' affectionately, and my daughter will use 'Daddy' if she's buttering him up. I don't want them to call me by my first name. I told them the whole world can call me by my first name, but they are the only four people in the world who can call me Mom.

A few of my children's friends (in elementary and high school) called me 'Mama L_____'. That was nice at the time.
