text: what's this babyfather and babymother nonsense? i keep seeing people saying about a babyfather or a babymother, surely you only need father and mother, or do people think that they might be the mother or father of something besides a baby? is this an american thing? it's actually baby's mama or baby's daddy.... it's actually quite demeaning...it means you have a child with someone but no real relationship with the person...i guess it's an american thing......in other words, they have sex with each other, have a child together and that's it.....then they move on to the next baby's mama/daddy.....some people have several different baby's mamas/daddies.....it's sad, but true
