tobodex:


But why are children allowed to call their mother by name and not mummy, our Nigerian tradition and culture does not encourage it o, abi.....or better still a pet name that he/she hears from the father

Siena:


Babies can't form words with their lips in their early months of speech development, so anytime between 5 months and 20 months. Some toddlers are just starting to form "M" words as late as 26 months.

Same with me, i come home only weekends and miss some but they both called daddy first.

HateU2:
hehehehehe
If I be ur wife, I go celotape dir mouth ni

adanny01:


The truth is that we all miss the parent that is not always available. When i arrive after spending months away, my children dont want me off their sight. Its not easy to leave them behind and its not easy for them to wake up next morning and cant fund daddy for 5 days to 3months. Wifey keeps telling them about daddy and how much he loves them but she forgets to talk about how much she loves them. They end up yarning for daddy and when he comes mummy becomes jealous.

Proudmum:
My daughter should not call daddy first. Her dad is always not around. I even resigned to be @ home and take care of her. E go pain me if she calls daddy first. Like ha.teu2 said.... I go celotape her mouth

Muafrika2:

It depends on which one is around the most. They will learn what they hear the most around them.

bolseas:


It doesn't depend on that o. I am always with my son more than the dad, but it has been Daady right from when he started talking. It is now Daady mii or Daady Daady.....
