Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
We were having this conversation. Are we supposed to call each other mommy and daddy all the time? Are we no longer Kelly and Mike? Is it something we can turn on and off when the baby is around? (ie: while baby naps, is it easy to change to using our names?)

Funny, I have been wondering that myself. I find myself calling him Daddy because of our cat alot and it gets me thinking.

Yeah, we're mommy and daddy to our dog... so it won't be too difficult. But I hope to only call him daddy to the baby... and not when the baby is not around.

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
When DH is misbehaving, he gets his first and middle name used...
That said, we refer to one another as mommy and daddy ONLY with regard to our kids. ("Go ask daddy if he will take the garbage out.")
I do not walk around calling him Daddy to get his attention and he doesn't walk around calling me Mommy. I've known people who do and it skeeves me out.

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
We are the worst offenders. I talk to DH as "daddy" when I talk to my dogs or if they are with us in the same room. He does the same with "mommy".
Otherwise, we call each other by our 1st name.

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
I rarely call DH by his name, we usually call each other "hun", that' is if we aren't arguing!!!
Otherwise, if we are talking to our dog, we say mommy and daddy.

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
that's so weird, DH and i were just having this conversation last night.
we NEVER call each other by our first names. we each have about 10 nicknames for each other, all of which are stupid and/or embarrassing  NO idea what we're going to do when this baby is born! we are also always beating each other up - not for real, of course, but it's how we show affection - which is something we will also want to tone down before the bean is born!

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
around here we call each other everything everything except the kitchen sink....but in general we call each other Heather and Scott..unless it has to do with the kids or is kid related...my girls call my DH SCOTTY its kind of like DADDY and has the same tone...they refer to him as THE DAD b/c although he isnt their father they love him and he is THE DAD of our house...so instead of saying go ask "DADDY" i say go ask "THE DADDY"...

Re: Are DH and I done calling each other by first names?
I'm not sure what DH and I are going to do but my twin 2 yr old nieces constantly call my brother Mike b/c his wife is always like "hey mike" so they both repeat in unison "HEY MIKE!" it is hysterical.

Yes, we also have embarassing nicknames for each other. We've almost slipped in front of people. We'll have to find new nicknames for each other.
