INSIDE THE MIND OF A WOMAN GOING THROUGH MOTHERHOOD

When i was growing up, I was taught to refer to all older women as 'mummy' and older men as 'dad' or 'Big mummy' and 'Big daddy' and the much older ones as 'grandpa' and 'grandma'. 

This was whether we were related or not. We also added locations to the name, like 'Big mummy America' , 'Big daddy Ketu'.

I remember one day I called a neighbour mummy xxxx. I added her daughter’s name, she was so angry and told me her daughters were older than me so I was to refer to her plainly as mummy.

I would ask my mom why I had so many grandparents and parents and she explained that it was a cultural thing and it was a way of showing my respect for them.

I have kids now and I am definitely not going down that road. If you are not family, the most you would be getting is being referred to as Mummy or daddy your child’s name and that is if you are close to the family.

Every other persons will be addressed by their titles and name, for example Mrs Bolu or Dr Funmi.

I mean no disrespect but I also don’t allow anyone who is not my niece or nephew ( don’t have any yet) call me aunty, not even my sibling that I am almost two decades older than, I go by my first name or Mrs #######.

Someone once argued that the aunty prefix to a person’s name would prevent any form of disrespect.

I have witnessed where someone went on her knees to greet an older lady and in the same breath said “ aunty mi, with all due respect you must be very stupid” while still kneeling.

Abeg I no want any fake respect.....

Hahahahahahahahahahaha A BV mailed me today and called me 'Mummy' in the mail. i responded that my name is STELLA oh and she said it was a form of showing me respect... Abeg i no want oh.....

This thing you addressed is the reason why i dont like people adding anything to my name cos the same person wey dey call you mummy and aunty go still cuss you so dont thing the prefix means anything, it is just added to whine you....

FROM THE COMMENT SECTION

''Please I need help! I'm new to this kinda thing. If you've been friends with someone(I mean girl-girl friendship) for a long time and almost everybody know you both together. When you guys break up and people starts asking about your friendship, what's the perfect response? What's a good response without making either party look bad?''

If they ask you just tell them you dont want to talk about it.....If they push too much and you must answer, tell them she is fine and change the topic.....You will be fine OK?
