SUZ_MAC March 15, 2016, 9:04pm 15 It was always Mom in our household and those of my friends. Mama and Papa just sounded very trailer park trashy. I do not mean to offend anyone. That was just how it was for me growing up. I have a high school acquaintance on FB that is my age (56) and she refers to her mom as my Mama. It sounds even worse coming from an adult (in my head).
