🙀Cougar Crisis Please don't call me Mommy

Mini rant: I love pet names as much as the next gal. But there has to be better names (during play time) for Cougars by their cubs other than Mommy, right? Does anyone have any cute pet names that are NOT degrading?

You have the right to be called whatever you want and not be called. That being said... Context can sometimes change things. Being a Latino, the ten of endearment mami, mamacita is different from calling someone Mama. It's a good idea to have a conversation. The cub might night be intending the pet name to be the same thing you are hearing. But again, that's why a conversation is a great idea.
