I didn’t realize that. I just heard the phrase and started using it. I’m glad you pointed out my mistake. I’ll avoid that phrase from now on.

> While I am sure that there are people who use babymama indiscriminately, usually it is reserved for a woman the speaker does not have a current relationship with. They’re not their wife or girlfriend, they’re a babymama, the mother of their kids. Also, it’s usually slightly disparaging, because why else wouldn’t the father want to continue the relationship.
