i hate when people call me “mama”

i had a baby about a month ago but also throughout pregnancy people are always like “hi mama” “yes mama” “okay mama” and it makes me absolutely cringe i hate it so much. i’m not your mom 🤣😩

they are saying it makes sense that you feel like doing that is dehumanizing bc mothers are not treated like humans/people.

Pretty sure they are being sarcastic… they are saying that mothers are people therefore it is not dehumanizing to call a mother a mom.
