I think Jelly has it 100% correct, this is out of the blue and the other aspects haven't changed then WW knows you have shifted so she is clearing her road to reestablish the patterns she likes and establishing her mom territority.. That isn't happening so watch the extra hard trying, being very industrious. When it occurs to her it's not working then there may be another spell breaker, she may go acid on you or uber nice and sweet. Drama perhaps, prepare for it and be delighted if it's not.
Only time will tell if she can keep being "supermom". Let her get it on, it won't hurt, what is a few sandwiches between friends? Smile, observe and reward her. Time to validate, you want this for your kids, even if it is slightly irritating and too little too late.
The giving pet names is actually depersonalising and distancing, not an affection tactic. It's self protection by WW for becoming hurt. When we want someone to draw near we use their name, it's them we talk to and interact with.
Be amused and observe "supermom" in action she is going to have to do these things after you D if the kids go visit. See it as a practice run and let the kids have their own R with their mum. Just move out of the way and be there for them. Just note the tactic in a diary.
Oh and if you can't let off steam here where can you let off steam? Heck this is a hang it out to dry phase.
