Third person parents

I wonder at what point in the life of a parent the reference to self changes from "I" to "Mommy". I for one can't remember a single instance of either one of my parents referring to themselves in the third person. I think that's good. Referring to yourself like you're the external narrator of your own life story is weird. And what must kids think? Mom: "Mommy doesn't like cheeseburgers." Kid: Which Mommy is she talking about? Her name is Mommy, but there are a lot of Mommies out there. #language
