How Do I Switch Mommies

Switches: What does On-Mom and Off-Mom mean?

I'm building a beginner circuit and I was looking for a SPST switch and it's asking if I want stuff like On-Mom, Off-Mom, Mom-Off-Mom, etc.. Obviously on is on and off is off, but what does Mom mean?

What is kill a commie for mommy?

I believe it was from Korea, then Vietnam. It means exactly what it says. I don't know who coined the phrase, I just remember it from that era.

It's also a well-known slogan on a t-shirt worn by deceased rocker Johnny Ramone in 1983.

It's enjoying some resurgence again in bumper sticker form from the silly people who think the current president is a socialist.

What does On-Mom on a switch mean?

As Andrew J. Sarnat said, it’s a momentary switch. It’s important to pay attention to this because there are both on and off momentary switches. If for instance you need to replace the switch that turns the dome light off in your car, you’ll want and momentary switch that actually opens the circuit (breaks the circuit). While the door is open, the switch is not being pressed, the circuit is completed, the dome light is on. All this to say, a lot of people fall into the trap of, “Oh it’s a momentary switch!” wait, which one do you need?

Q for breast feeding mommies....milk supply question!?

Olivia...I tried bf-ing at the hospital and when her pedia told me she had jaundice and it was getting worse, I had to pump because her latch was so bad that she wasn't getting anything out of my breasts.
It was important for her to drink my milk immediately because she didn't pee for two straight days! She was dehydrated and her jaundice was making her so sleepy and tired.

I wish I could put her to my breast. My nipple is too big for her little mouth. She doesn't know how to suckle and is chomping instead.
I couldn't wait to teach her how to breastfeed because her condition was making her sicker.

My baby is fussy after switching to formula! please help! ?

I was breastfeeding my daughter, but I stopped about a week ago. Ever since I have stopped she has been fussy. I don't understand why. She was never fussy, barely ever cried. And now she gets fussy, cries for no reason. I thought maybe she was constipated, because i give her Enfamil Lipil with Iron and i heard iron can cause constipation.But her bowel movements are soft. Has anyone heard of this happening before?? Please let me know. I feel bad for my baby.


I didn't really wean her into formula, but I was giving her both breast milk and formula since she was born. More breast milk than formula tho.


She is a month and one week. I use anti colic bottles. She doesn't seem to be a gassy baby, she never spits up. She doesn't cry right after a feeding, she usually just falls asleep. And she only has bowel movements once a day, opposed to her 3 times while I was breastfeeding!

I still call my mom mommy?

I'm 20 years old and I still call my mom mommy. I've tried many times to switch over to mom but every time I do my mom tells me that it makes her feel like I'm trying to distance myself from her or that she doesn't feel as close to me when I do.

I'm embarrassed around my friends when I have to call her mommy and I feel like I'll never grow up until I leave all of my childhood tendencies behind.

I'm enlisting in the Marines. How will it look when I graduate from boot camp and become a real Marine and still call my mom mommy? It's pathetic.

I have a 22 year old brother and a 16 year old sister. We all call her mommy and they get mad every time I try to change from mommy to mom.

What should I do? I want to do me but my mom's annoying when she's "hurt".

Why do the British spell "mommy" like "mummy"? It is already established that it means a preserved corpse.

In the US English is spoken according to dialect. In the south it’s almost another language altogether. phonetically and whilst phonetics might not account for all the varying enunciations it helps to explain the mode of speech in the USA. I think the British must shudder to see or hear “mom” used instead of mum or mummy, the generally accepted word for mother by the British and also by extension Australia.Regarding mummy being generally accepted as a word to describe the dessicated and preserved bodies found generally in Egypt, it is an Arab word mummia which refers to the process of embalming not the body. The word mummy being used to refer to one’s mother is a long standing word for mother in proper English spoken in the country of origin of English as a language, As I said, in the US English tends to be spoken according to the phonetic spelling the US has adopted. So I guess it makes some sense that with “mo” being the first two letters when the word is correctly spelled By saying that I’m probably doing a little disservice to the US Whereas in fact in Britain and Australia Mother sounds more like muther. However the written word often sounds different from the spelling. It does look a little odd to other than the British and also by extension Australians that there seem to often be superfluous letters when words are written.I shall continue to cringe when I see mom or mommy because I am a grammar naziWho knows, maybe the US just likes to do things their own way and consider it correct.In conclusion one may wonder why is mouth spelled with the ou when spoken it tends to sound closer to “ mowth” Why is colour spelled as it is and not as color , it’s rarely pronounced as collor by anyone, more like culler, in both the US and Britain.I have spun off on a tangent and realise it could go on forever . So I will definitely end here.

How can you be standing behind mommy when mommy is standing behind you?

Stand next to each other but facing in opposite directions.

At what point are children able to address their parents as mom and dad?

I can only speak to my experience with my daughter, EV.At 8 months old she was signing Mommy and Poppy (I chose poppy instead of daddy) to call us. EV’s not deaf, we just taught her sign language so she would be able to tell us what she needs much before she could speak. Sign language is a language so it counts.At around 1 year old EV really started talking a lot and Mommy and Poppy were a couple of the first words she spoke.At about 18 month I would catch her calling my wife Mom sometimes (rarely), she would use it interchangeably with Mommy. Usually it would be when EV was trying to wake my wife up when she falls asleep on the couch. ‘Mommy, wake up, Mommy Wake Up. WAKE UP MOM!’ I’m still Poppy as far as I know.Now EV is two years old and last week my wife was out of town for a couple of days (she was on tour doing a puppet show) and EV was wandering around the house looking for her. Then she walks up to me and says,‘Poppy, where’d she go?’“Where’d who go sweetie?’ I ask.‘She’s all gone!’ says EV shaking her hands in the sign as well as saying it aloud.“Who’s all gone?’ I ask“My mommy, she’s all gone! Come on I show you!” she says and grabs my hand and drags me through the whole house calling out ‘Mommy!’ and ‘Mom!’ in turn.“Mommy is at work sweetie,” I tell her.She wanders off and I think that’s the end of it, but a few minutes later EV runs up to me and says,“Where’d she go?’“Who, sweetie?’ I ask (I’m trying to teach her to be more clear in her statements)‘Mommy, Mom,’ she says in frustration, points to a picture on the wall and then surprises me, ‘Poppy where is Mommy, where is Lesley?’Luckily EV hasn’t called Lesley by her name yet. I call her mom Lesley, but I didn’t realize that EV had made the connection. I’m not looking forward to the day EV calls Lesley Lesley instead of Mommy, I don’t think it will be a happy day.Moral of the story, kids will call their parents as soon as they can in whatever way they can and will likely do it earlier than you expect. But every child is different and they change and learn and grow so much everyday that it’s not really useful to try to milestone everything out. Stuff will come when it comes.Good luck on you parental journey!
