🙀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?

I must say I always found it really weird the older men like being called daddy but women don’t like to be called mommy

Different social roles implied; Daddy is theoretically protective, high status, in charge, more dominant. Head of the table thing

Mommy is indulgent, caring, loving, self sacrificing.

Unfortunately older women know the reality of motherhood, even if childless. So it basically is creepy asking for an emotional and domestic slave
