Nicole Kidman's children refuse to call her mom.
The Oscar-winning actress says Isabella, 14, and 12-year-old Connor - her two adopted children with ex-husband Tom Cruise - are reluctant to use the traditional parental moniker and instead call her Nicole, much to her annoyance.
She told UK TV show 'GMTV': "My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it."
The 'Golden Compass' star recently revealed she is unhappy Isabella and Connor are being raised as Scientologists in Los Angeles.

14
Catholic Nicole lives in Nashville with her second husband Keith Urban, while her children live with Scientologist Tom and his new wife Katie Holmes.
She said: "Yes, they're being raised as Scientologists. I don't want to go there.
"My daughter and son, their life is molded by the way I live. If I wasn't willing to take on that responsibility, I shouldn't have adopted them. Then it can be argued that I should never have divorced, and that's true, too, but sometimes you don't have a decision in that. People fall out of love, they do.
"When children are teenagers, they have a say in where they want to be. Los Angeles is a big draw, and I'm looking to get a place there so we can share more."


What in the name of God has happened to Nicole Kidman’s face?

She hardly seems like the maternal type, anyway. She’s clearly on board with a new life in Nashville. She’s scary looking!!
I wonder what the deal deal was with her miscarriage a the end of her marriage to Tom. Could it have been TommyGirl’s baby, or someone else’s??

She has audacity complaining about Scientology ... she’s a freaking Catholic ! If her kids were raised Catholic they would be constantly threatened with eternal damnation for not accepting the Catholic propaganda.

There is no way in hell I would allow my child to call me by my first name. I am his mother, not his pal. I thought Nicole seemed to be a good mother until I read that she said she tells her kids off for calling her Nicole and not Mom. I mean, what is that? You have to let your children know early on who is in charge. It seems to me that if they call her Nicole, it is not something new. If this story is true, then it is pretty sad. I hope it is not a true story and I hope Nicole never said she tells her kids off. But if they are being raised in the cult that is Scientology, then they are going to be complete messes! Poor things ...

If she really cared she would move closer to her children. The fact she says they are adopted and not hers, goes to show her attitude as a mother.

I CALL MY “Mother” BY HER FIRST NAME AS WELL.
I’m sure it’s the same resaon her kids don’t call her mom. I was raised & supported by many people in my life, but not my “Mother”. She quite being a “Mother” when times got hard, she quite being a “Mother” because all she really wanted to be was a “Wife”.
Her sperm donor left her before I was born.

They’re adopted, so surely they don’t need to call Nicole ‘Mother’.

your god…she adopted them with Tom when they were children. she is their mother as much as he is their father, so that alone shouldn’t be the reason they don’t call her mom.
however, ever since she and tom divorced she is seen very rarely with the kids, living a lot in Australia while the kids live in LA with Tom, who is bringing them up in Scientology. they probably don’t call her Mom anymore b/c they never see her and Scientology and Tom are successfully separating them from her with their indoctrination.
if adults want to join this insane cult, that’s one thing. but raising kids, who have no say, in it is really wrong. they’re going to be little Xenu clones.
Katies needs to run away with Suri…chances are she’s not Tom’s biological kids anyways b/c he’s been shooting blanks for years.
