mom or mommy?

Mom and sometimes Ma. To me, adults who call their mom "Mommy" is a bit cringe.
 
My sister and I started out calling her Mommy when we were little, and then in high school my sister started calling her Momma and I just followed along.
 
If Arnold Schwarzenegger or Al Capone had wanted to call their mothers "Mommy", I suppose that would have been A-O-K with me.

Or... if Elizabeth Taylor wanted to call her father-in-law "Big Daddy" in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, that's okay, too. :D
 
I feel like I've lost my mind. I am pretty damn sure I replied to this thread already.

As a kid it's fine to use mommy, but as an adult it is weird to use, even without the..ahem, other aspect.
