How to use mum in a sentence?

1. Debby Chalk:

   I welled up and couldn’t believe it, makes me so proud to be her mum.

2. Kate Beckinsale:

   My mum’s voice is in my head, very loud, at all times. My mum wouldn’t even get a facial, she is suspicious of anything like that, and looks f-----g radiant and amazing. I know if I did do Botox, I’d be the one that would get the droopy eye, and my mum would go, ‘I f-----g told you! See? You should never do that.’.

3. Princess DianaPrince Harry:

   My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand. Refusing to ever think about my mum because why would that help? It's only going to make you sad. It's not going to bring her back.

4. Paul Masterton:

   I often go up there to enjoy wildlife [and]we got up at 4 a.m. and try to be there for first light as its the best time to spot wildlife, the heather is blooming right now, we have not seen any deer there before. There was a mum roe deer and two little ones, like real-life Bambis.

5. Tayla Harris:

   I love it when a mum or a young daughter and son says to me' thanks for standing up to what you stood up for,' if my example is going to help someone in any way, I would be happy to go through it all again. I'd rather not, but there's been so many amazing messages. It's been an eye-opening experience.
