What do you call your parents by?

[Nila Bean 133]

I still call my parents Mommy and Daddy. Never went through that weaning phase to "mom" and "dad".

 

Sounds to formal to me 

[Kivil 1,721]

I call my mom mum a lot now! I hope she doesn't mind!

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

I call them mom and dad most of the time, but often when saying hello, and call them mother and father.

[A Black Circle 1,586]

I call them Mom and Dad, but am currently in the process of pushing them out of my life.

[Valencia 9,504]

Usually its just mom and dad, but when I need to get their attention in a loud or crowded room its their first name

 

(If my dads being a jerk, then its his middle name cause he hates his middle name ^^)

[PiratePony 8,476]

"Mom" and "Dad" Although, I, when facetious, occasionally call my dad by his first name (which is my first name). "Hi Rob." "Hi Rob."

 

Inlaws are first name basis. It used to be Mr. And Mrs. until pops told me "knock it off already."

[Comic Sans 401]

* i simply call my parents mum and dad. if i'm in a playful mood, it's literally MOTHER DEAREST or FATHER DEAREST.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,354]

I call my mother "mom" when I'm speaking to her, but when I'm talking about her I call her my mother... kinda weird.

 

My father isn't around anymore, but I called him "dad" or "daddy". I miss him...

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

Mom and Dad, plain 'n simple.

[Moonlight 7,288]

If I'm talking about them to someone else, I say "mother," "mum," or "father".

 

If I'm talking to them I just point at them and say "you," I'm not sure why but calling them variations of the standard parental names (mom/mother/momma/mum, dad/daddy/father) makes me extremely uncomfortable.

[Swift Marquis 327]

I look at them, 

Call them ``yo, hommies``

My Mom starts giggling

My Dad looks at me and and say ``Yo, how`s school ? :3``

I then excuse myself to the bathroom xD

[pook 37]

I call them "mom and dad" but when i want to annoy them I call them "mother (last name) and father (last name)."

[vampireponyprince 184]

either mom, ma, birthgiver, or mother for my mother

for my father

dad , dude, barry , buzz aldrin( inside joke)

[Tameless 979]

I simply call my mom, mom.

 

For dad I go by father for some reason.

[crispy fries 432]

I call the lady who gave birth to me "mom". My dad is Mexican and doesn't speak English, so when I visit I call him "papa" (there would be an accent over that second A cuz it's Spanish.)

[QuirkyUsername 1,576]

Simple mum and dad unless Im being a smartass then its mumsy and pappy.

[ILikeNightmares 163]

Mama and Tata. I am also Balkan. 

[Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,303]

I call my mother either "mom" or "mother"; usually the former.  Sometimes I call her "little girl" or other random things on a whim.  I generally don't call my father anything, 'cause he's dead.  Maybe I should give "zombie dad" a try for a while?

[King 5,625]

I call my mother 'mum'. My biological dad has been out of the picture since I was small so Id probably call him by his actual first name, he hasn't earned the right to be called dad. As for my step father, he's only been in the picture for a few years so I can't really call him 'dad', so I refer to him by his name.

[ARagY 1,152]

Young: Mama, Papa

Pre-teen: Mat, Pat/Oetsa

Teen: Mom, Father

Now: Their actual names or no direct addressing at all. 

 

Sometimes Papa, never Tata.

[SFyr 1,982]

I used to call them both "mama" and "papa." Though at some point that got shorted to "ma" and "pa," which I still call them by when they're around.

Though when talking to other people I'll use "mother" and "father," or the shortened version of their actual name. 

[Anneal 2,197]

I'm Taiwanese, so mom and dad are automatically "Mama" (媽媽) and "Papa" (爸爸). There's also the alternative "Muqin" (母親) and "Fuqin" (父親), but they are usually too formal for casual use. Collectively as parents they are referred to either "Bama" (爸媽) or "Fumu" (父母).

[ShadOBabe 19,011]

I call my mother "mom" and occasionally "mommy".

 

I used to call my father "dad", but lately I've been calling him "useless".

 

... Yeah, there's some bitterness going on there. XD

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

I refer to my dad as dad, or father, my step mom by her name, and my mom as mom, or mother. My sister calls our mother by her real name because she hates her, but thats for a differen't thread some day.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Just Mom and Dad. Although there is a slight tonal difference. It's still endeared but I more address them as one would an equal at least an intellectual one. Don't get me wrong, I'm still very much in deference to them but the reflexive subservience of childhood is gone and replaced by a more sophisticated understanding of just what they do for me.
