What do you call your parents?
Mum? Dad?
I call my parents by their first names, is that disrespectful? Been talking about it at work earlier, Ive called my mum Susan, and my dad Miguel (an affectionate twist on Michael) since I was about 16. And they actually prefer it! On the very rare occasions Ill call my mum "Mum", she will say "What did you just call me?"  Same goes with my dad, if I call him anything other than Miguel, he doesnt realise I am talking to him Am I alone here? |

Always called them Mum and Dad.
I've got a friend who calls her parents by their names but it just sounds wrong to me so I don't think I ever would. They seem happy enough with it though.

If im discussing my parents with either of my siblings then its "the parentals" or "the parental unit."
But otherwise its just Mum and Dad, Mummy (if im in the doghouse or im after something) or Father (if he's being a stroppy git!) My sister has a habit of calling my Mum by her first name though. |

Occasionally Mummy or Daddy if I'm being cheeky. I only ever call them by their first name when introducing them to people.

Ive had that said to me Jen, a mate of mine wouldnt dare call her mum by her first name, so was shocked to find out the woman I was talking to on the phone, and reffered to her as Susan, was actually my mother

It varies, dad used to be called either dad or Lenny, and mum is mum or Jeanie.

Always been mum and dad. Would seem really odd using their names.
