Grimes says baby X Æ A-XII calls her by first name as she doesn't identify with 'mum'

When you put it that way, I can see it.
The thing that wierds me put however is that her "art" is affecting her kid. Feels less like a mother and more like someone doing weird shit to her kid for "artistic" reasons.
She's an artist, there's nothing wrong with the experience of being a mother having an affect on her artistry. My wife draws, my daughter affected her artistically because without her realize a lot of her drawings ended up being reflections of her experience as a new mother.
Its only weird because that's the angle you're choosing to look at it from.
in general the reactions in this thread are gross.
I mean there is a difference between using her experience as a mother and parenting her kid as an art project. I mean come on, are you expecting me to believe naming your kid a name that is basically a code, that is going to get them bullied, is a good thing?
There is a big difference between your wife's art and whatever Grimes is doing.

Not really, there's no basis to claim she's parenting her kid as an art project and frankly I don't see how that's your takeaway. There's no evidence Grimes is being anything else but a mother to her child. She is an artist and being interviewed predominantly because she's an artist so she spoke with that in mind. It's not controversial beyond wanting to project negativity on Grimes and her child because you think the kids name is stupid.
I grew up calling my parents by their name. The only one I call by their title is my mom. My dad gets referred to by his name.
The first name thing is whatever, lots of white kids do that.
The kid will probably just change his name to Xavier or something when he grows up

While there's no way that this kid is having a normal childhood and Grimes not being able to identify with being a mother is definitely weird, you guys need to relax about the whole mom/Claire thing.
Going by some of the posts in this thread I'm either a psychopath or destined to become one, because I grew up calling my dad by his first name. Ffs. It's not that weird.

Perhaps you are right and the kid will grow up right (I certainly would love to be wrong. For his sake.) but everything I see when it comes to the kid and the way she is treating him, is bizarre to say the least.
I mean, who cares. I think I'm more of a parent to my mom than she has ever been with me and I still call her "mom," so that title doesn't mean jack. It's the relationship that matters. I don't see the big deal.
Exactly. She seems to be presenting the kid not saying Mama or similar variant as some sort of advanced level of reasoning but kids just call you what you teach them to call you at that age. She doesn't refer to herself as Mama/Mum/Mom/Mother and presumably no one around her does either, so neither does the kid.
Different strokes I suppose. I find it odd to call parents by their first names and I also find it odd that poster uses Ma'am and Sir when referring to their parents, but really it's the relationship that matters and what you call your guardian isn't an accurate barometer of their levels of engagement and affection.
Sorry but now I have to ask, we're both parents involved when you were growing up? It would seem a little strange to me if you all lived together and mom is called mom, but dad is called Chuck
Edit: sorry if this is too personal
They referred to themselves by their names when around us kids growing up. Wasn't until we started school and heard other kids/teachers refer to them as mom/dad did we realize that that was something people said to their parents instead of calling them by their names.
Acclimation got Mom to stick, but not dad.
See above.
I'm a dude so I definitely can't comment on the not identifying with mother stuff, but this seems pretty understandable tbh
I was once high on anaesthetics and called my mom her name when I was in a state of delirium. She got so mad.
Yeh because 16 month old children are known for making their own rational decisions.
Sure that doesn't have to mean anything negative. It's something people aren't familiar with so they're xenophobic about it. As long as she's a loving, responsible parent. Of course, i have no idea how those two people are as parents.
If that is his choice then whatever, I know several people that do this, sometimes it just works like that if its the name the baby hears associated with the person the most. Im more worried about the "doesnt identify as a mom" bit, especially after naming her son THAT.
She's doesn't even pronounce her kid's name correctly. ä or Æ is not pronounce as "A and then I" or "ash" or whatever the fuck. Both these letters in German and Danish are "ae". I can't believe her and Musk also thinks the *name* (ash) in English for the letter Æ is how you pronounce the letter lol
Why use letters from other languages if you not even going to use them correctly? Some pretentious shit

I used to call my mom by her name because my dad loved to shout it. He had to change to way he call her for me to stop, even 32 years later my dad still adds the prefix Ma'a (=mom) to her name
lol at a 16 month old is making a choice, if no one is calling Grimes maman , mama, mum and no one is telling him to call her that way, how the fuck a 16 month old... jesus
People around them call her Claire, the AI just made the connection

Considering she calls him X Æ A-XII I'm surprised he doesn't call her bitch. He probably just doesn't know the word yet.
I honestly don't understand how you decided this was cool to type out and post.

I'm kinda confused as to how you thought this thread would go when you made it.
