Oh kitty I know what you mean. Mr absent and I looked after my mama for the last five or six years of her life and sometimes it was very hard. I define that period of my life by the commode. grin But I'd give almost anything to have her back.

Someone on the Room 101 thread voted for adults who call their mothers Mummy. I have to confess I quite often called mine Mummy, but also Ma, Mama and La Madre as well as the good old popular Mum. I think she rather enjoyed the variety.
