I grew up in a borough adjacent to Manhattan, but I'm not quite sure what's offensive about "mummy." It's not something we use, but it's not something we'd take issue with either (though it'd be a little out of place). The only thing I can think of is it's proximity to mammy[1], which IS offensive, but it's clearly a different word with very different connotations. I'm curious as to her line of thought here!
