Alanis Morissette says six-year-old daughter doesn't call her mum

Alanis Morissette says six-year-old daughter doesn't call her mum

Kids have many different names for parents; mum, pa, pops, mummy. But calling their mother or father by their first name is less common

Kids have many different names for their parents; mum, pa, pops, mummy. But calling their mother or father by their first name is less common.

Unless you’re in Alanis Morissette’s household, that is. In a new interview, the hit-maker revealed her daughter - six year old Onyx - has started calling her by her full name.

That’s right, surname and all! And as Morissette explained, the reason why is actually quite sweet.

During an appearance on the Gary Bryan Morning Show on Thursday (20 October), Morissette explained: "My daughter has taken to calling me by my full name because she notices that no one uses my full name when we're in personal environments.

"So instead of saying 'mum,' she'll say, 'Alanis Morissette’.”

Morissette - who also shares sons Winter Mercy, three, and Ever Imre, 11, with her husband Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway - also revealed that her kids are already listening to her music, but did admit she tries to get them to turn it off.

"They do [listen to my music], even when I'm like 'shut that off!' They’re so sweet.”

Morissette often speaks candidly about her parenting methods, and back in 2020 revealed she attempts to teach her children from their own perspective using something called an ‘unschooling method’.

Admitting that the method isn’t for everyone, Morissette told Health: “So if there’s some agenda like, ‘let’s play with these magnet tiles,’ and my daughter is like, ‘f**k those tiles. I want to put glitter on that thing and cut the tree and put the thing…’ boom — we do that.”

She added: “I basically get inside their eyeballs. I'm constantly watching their eyes and what they're pulled toward, and then we do the deep dive.

“My husband and I create pods all over the house—here's where the spelling area is, and here's where the fake animals are. There's probably a better definition of unschooling, but there's no rigidity to it.”

Explaining that ‘unschooling is 24/7’, Morissette also said there’s no ‘checking out’ from the method and confessed she can understand why it might be ‘too major a commitment’ for others.

“When I share with people that I unschool, a lot of people I'm close with say they'd love to do it but just can't. And I get it. I'm like, ‘Yes. I understand, and I think it's a smart choice not to do it’,” she noted.
