What is a baby mama???

Question

I've been wanting to ask for days. Sorry to be so ignorant. But I've never heard the term before coming here. Enlighten me.

I keep seeing this in questions like "my man's baby mama did such and such......."

Answer 1

A baby's mama would be your boyfriends/husbands ex girlfriend and they share a child together, so she is his baby mama. Get it?

In real English it would be "My boyfriend's/ husband's ex girlfriend, the mother of his child, did such and such..........
-Or- my step child's mother did such and such (if she and her man are married)

Answer 2

Are you serious? A baby mama is what a man calls the mother of his children. Especially if they are no longer together.
Also, I hope all these negative comments are coming from someone (black) who has the right to speak about it!
I understand slang terms and I also have a complete understanding of the english language!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Pay no attention to the negative responses, it is not very self explanatory what a "Baby Mama" is if you are folowing the rules of the English language and don't understand black slang, which is where this term came from. It is a term that both represents the proclivity of urban black males to have multiple out of wedlock children and also a complete lack of understanding of the english language.


You see, black people in the hood do not know how to speak proper English. Instead of using the correct tense and forms of words, they speak ebonics. For example. Instead of saying "He is over there" or " That is HIS bike", they will say..."Him down there" or "Thats him bike". Basically it stems from a lack of education and no understanding of possesive nouns.

So, if we look at the term "Baby Mama", BABY becomes an adjective, as it preceded the noun in the sentence (Mama). If you are not speaking ghetto english, this literally means a mother that is a baby. Substitute any other adjective and see what I mean. ex: Ghetto Mama...a mother from the ghetto.

The correct phrase should be Baby's Mother ie the mother of your Baby.

Answer 4

Baby mama is urban slang for a woman who has given birth to your child. "Mah baby mama been all up in mah shirt. Wantin' money fo' diapers and Newports."

The flip-side is a baby daddy. These two terms are different from husband and wife.

Answer 5

A baby mama is someone who has a baby with a guy and they are not married to one another and sometimes not even together...It's a way some guys identify who their child's mother is.....

Answer 6

It means the mama of my baby. This is typically used between some people who are not married and not together as parents.
Another term is "my baby's daddy".

Answer 7

Same as my baby daddy.
Its an ethnic terminology of calling the mother or father of a child.
My guy and I aren't married, we have a child together, sometimes he calls me "his baby mama" meaning I am the mother of his child.
"the baby mama drama" = meaning she's having to fight with him for or about child support

Answer 8

LOL

The mother of a child, normally used by by men that were never married to the woman.

Answer 9

It is a bastardization of the English language, started by a illiterate race of people who have broken down traditional family values.

Answer 10

if a man say's " oh, my baby mama is calling", that means, the mother of his children is calling.
