What do you call your parents by?

[Jonny Music 3,455]

Just curious. I never saw anyone else make a thread like this, and so I have decided to start it off for the heck of it.

 

So, as the title of this thread is, what do you call your parents by?

 

For example:

 

In my case, I call my mom: "Mama" and I call my dad: "Tata". "Tata is how kids would call their dads in the Balkan countries and ethnicities (Serbian, Croatian, Montenegrin, Macedonian, etc.).

 

Vote and post away!

I call my mom and my dad %#*#@  when they are not around cause the way they treat me!!!    

[Invincible 2,092]

My father's gone, so it's just my Mom now. I call her "Mom". lol

[Lisa 5,553]

"Mum," "Dad," "Mother" and "Father."

 

My friends think it's really archaic to call them mother and father, (which it kind of is), but I've grown a habit of it.

[InfectedPone 1,550]

Just plain old mum and dad. Nothing too special.

[Kiri 7,290]

I call my parents "Mommy" and "Daddy". Always have, always will. :3

[Mythical 59]

I call my parents "Mum" and "Dad" because I am British - we don't say "Mom" over here!

[Odyssey 5,717]

I just simply call them "mum" and "dad", but sometimes I'll also call them "mother" and "father" as a term of endearment.

I just call them "mom" and "dad."

[SilverStarApple 849]

I used to call them "Mum" and "Dad". I don't any more.

[Rawzy 1,302]

I call my Dad "Oi Dad"

 

And my Mum "Oi Mum"

[Jokuc 8,174]

Well I'm Swedish so the alternatives don't really apply to me but I just call my parents "mamma" and "pappa" which is the most normal thing here, if you wanna sound cool or something you can say "morsan" and "farsan" but I never do that. Some people say "mor" and "far" but that's such an old way of saying it so I've never heard anyone say it myself.

[RavenholmZombie 1,330]

I just refer to my parents as mom and dad.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,881]

The classic words mom and dad. ^__^ Can't go wrong with those. 

[Catpone Cerberus 23,692]

Well, I use my own language but The English equivalent I think is Father and Mother. 

[Yarishia 144]

I call my mom "Mama" and my dad "Tata", because in Polish these words literally mean mom and dad.

I'm sorry to hear that. Those don't sound like good parents then.

you wanna talk abt something right there, pal?

i call them ma and pa, and sometimes i call my mom by mrs [her name here] when i'm mocking her

[Night Silent 93]

Normal mom and dad for me.

[Vertigo_95 572]

Its a mixup of mom, dad, mommy, and daddy. When I'm speaking to someone in my immediate family, or them directly, it's mommy and daddy. When speaking to someone outside of my family, or for some strange reason when I'm seeking them, it's mom and dad. Primarily mommy and daddy is used.

[ManyANewDay_36 178]

I still say Mommy and Daddy. I always have and it's just what I do.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

I'm pretty basic and just shoot for plain old "mom" and "dad". Now my little brother says mother and it just sounds foreign to me(IDK why, I just think anything other than mom and day is peculiar).

[Mr F 1,522]

I usually say Mor or Far.

When people hear me calling them that they sometimes ask me if I don't love them. It is a really old word and some people thinks that it sounds non-personal.

I don't really know why I call them that, but I have just grown a habit of saying it.

[Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343]

I usually just call my mom "mom." But when I want to be particularly endearing, I call her "mama."

 

As for my dad, I just say "dad." But if I'm feeling facetious, I'll call him "pops" because I joke about him getting old.

[Rainbow Cloud 18,338]

I call my parents Mum and Dad, I'm British so I say Mum instead of Mom.
