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.
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 moulded 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."

Well, maybe if Nicole were more involved in their lives, they wouldn't be calling her Nicole at any time.
Nicole has had little to no involvement in these children's lives for several years and she's upset that they call her Nicole?
Nicole seems to be more of an acquaintance rather than a constant parent figure in their lives. Why is she only now going to get a place in L.A. when it should have been done long ago! These children haven't been molded by her the way she lives she's never there.
she is all for the photo ops. with Toms children, why do you think they do not call mer Mummmy? She was not there. She talk about having children puppy cock she does not want her figure marred. She is all about the photo ops, and making nice for the outside, they call her Nicole because that what she deserves. Not the grand title of MUMMY!!!
I heard the interview. She said they don't call her 'Mummy', they call her 'Mum', or sometimes 'Nicole' to which she said she replies 'Hey!!!!' like she doesn't like it. They are teenagers - this is what some teens do sometimes. And the kids *have* been with her on the set many times this year while she's filming 'Australia' - there have been plenty of paparazzi pics for proof.
I'll have to agree with Scientologists who have posted here, even though I am not one. There must something wrong with Nicole, Tom is too ethical to do anything wrong and bigots just attack him for his religion because
they hate seeing people happy.
According to those who have left/fleed Scientology and have written about their experiences, Scientology looks down upon relationships with non-scientologists. Nicole left Scientology and went back to her Catholic roots. I wonder if that has any influence on how much time she gets to spend with her children. As for Tom Cruise, his sister and mom are scientologists, as are his new wife (another former Catholic girl) some of his friends (Will Smith recently commented about 'studying' their literature), his business partner (Wagner) is also a follower, as are other professionals and people in his life. Nicole Kidman is out of that circle.
Also, she doesn't like being photographed with her kids. How many baby Isabella and Connor pictures were taken? Didn't she try to shield the kids from all that when they were babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers? Tom Cruise is all over the tabloids with Suri, and became a publically doting dad to his other children when he received all kinds of negative media - most of which he created for himself.
Kidman and Urban do what they can for the kids. She had a close relationshp with them when her husband left her for Penelope Cruz. I doubt that parent-child relationship has eroded on its own. It's interesting she gets criticized for working but when Tom was in Germany and France with his new wife and new baby while his other kids were home, no one seems to comment about that. Double standard?

She didn't said that.
She said on GMTV on 29th Nov:
Interviewer: 'Maybe your children said..Oh my God my mummy is Marisa Coulter!'
Nicole: 'They don't call me mummy...They call me mom, or sometimes Nicole, but I thinks it's ok...'
Stop to say lies about Nicole please.
