In my recent wanderings, I have noticed a peculiar habit of many parents of calling each other by title rather than name. It appears that parenthood overcomes self in it's entirety! Names fall away and the parents simply become Mama or Papa, even when speaking to each other.
Now, I understand this habit when in front of the children.....to an extent, but some couples go so far as to do this when at adult parties or out with friends, no children in sight. Is there some reason these people seem to cavalierly discard personal identity completely? If so I hope there is someone who can enlighten me!
