Poll: What do you call your parents?

[scorptatious]

When I was little, I called them mommy and daddy. Now, I just call them mom and dad. I occasionally like to call my dad by his first name or "Old Man" just for shits and giggles. He usually responds by calling me my nickname they used for me when I was a toddler.

 

[Randoman01]

I mostly just call them mom and dad. That is how I have been saying it for the past 20 years.

 

[LarsInCharge]

I'm 27 for reference

Mom (birth): Mom

Step-Mom (Mom's partner): Nicole

Dad (birth): Satan (calling him by his first name is too nice)

 

[SacremPyrobolum]

For some reason, I call mother Mother and my dad Dad.

Don't ask why I have these names all mixed up cause I have no idea.

 

[Sheen Lantern]

I call my mother mum and my father by his first name on the very rare occasion we're actually speaking to each over.

 

[Trunkage]

I sometimes call my mother by her first name, usually when she's not concentrating or doing something silly. Otherwise its mum.

My dad died so... dead?

 

[Someone Depressing]

I call my mother "Mummy" (Except on my contact list, where she's listed as "money + food") because I'm a manchild and I don't call my dad anything because I was the result of asexual reproduction. At least, that's what I've been telling myself.

 

[Gamer87]

I'm Swedish, so for me it's Mamma and Pappa (similar in tone to Mum and Dad)
Occasionally, when talking to others about them, I go with Mor and Far (older form, much like Mother and Father)
or Morsan and Farsan (more slang) to mix things up.

This makes Eragon hilarious to me. I mean, making a big deal out of "Morzan's" son (momma's son).

 

[hazabaza1]

Dad: Dad
Step-mum: Tash
Mum: Mum, mother, mother dearest, mam, ay up, woman, or some other nasty expletive (in jest) which is usually returned with an equally offensive expletive.
When you live with someone you end up thinking up a lot more names for them.

 

[FPLOON]

Uh... Mom, I guess...

I mean, if my father was still alive, and probably with some one else (based on what was going on prior to his death), then I would still call him "Dad"...

However, I would be calling my [soon-to-be] step-father and/or my [could-have-happened] step mother by their first name for the most part... unless they go by a nickname, I guess...

 

[The Lunatic]

Addressing them: Mum, Dad.

Referring to them whilst speaking to others: My Mother, My Father.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Well, I'm french. I call them "Pa" instead of "papa" and "man" instead of "maman" .

The latter needs to be pronounced in french to really not make it sound weird.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

My mom: mom, her first name, or ma
My dad: dad, his first name, bobstepa (last of which is a nickname most my friends call my dad)

 

[CpT_x_Killsteal]

I use Mum and Dad, however if i'm talking about them to someone else, or about parents in general, I use mother/father.

 

[Jenvas1306]

I call my parents by their firstnames or nicknames derived from their firstnamaes. I do that since I was about twelve.
But when I refer to them I say "my mother..."/"my father..."

 

[RedDeadFred]

Mom and Dad mostly.

Mother and Father if I'm being sarcastic.

 

[Johnny Novgorod]

I'm voting mom and dad even though in Spanish it sounds like "ma" and "pa".

 

[demonbazza]

My Dad is and always has been "Dad"; and my Mother has always been "Mam" - unless she has a 'Senior Moment' when it becomes "Oh Mother Dearest" lol. I usually get a slap for that one though.
I'm from North Wales, UK and "Mam" seems to be the name most of my friends called their Mothers by as well.
