What do you call your parents?

[Pheebs]

Ma or Pa

When I was supremely ickle I liked to try and say words whilst blowing bubbles with my mouth. Saying "Ma" or "Pa" prolonged the ability to blow a bubble ("Mum"/"Dad" would mean I would have to pop it). And it's kind of stuck since then When referring to other peoples Ma's and Pa's I automatically say "Ma or Pa". "Mum"/"Dad" is probably used when I'm being serious, "Muuuuuuummmmmmmmmy"/"Daaaaaaaadddddddddy" when I want something

Sometimes I might jokingly say their name in full if they've done something nawty but never would use their forenames in conversation

My father is The Old Codger, I call my mother Mother or Ma not because its a posh affectation it started when she got her MA and became a habbit

They get called Gran and Gramps now, Mum and Dad before the kids were born.

[Briggykins]

Mother or father, but in an exaggerated Cornish way so it doesn't sound posh. Never really considered why I do that.
My sister calls mother by her first name tho. Don't know when that started happening. Don't think she likes it; she always says there are only two people in the world who can call her 'mum'.

It depends...

Generally it's Dad, or if he's done something bad or that I dissaprove of then it's Father...

[Blackstar]

Just plain old mum and dad for me. My big sister sometimes calls them Rhubarb and Grapefruit. I can't remember how that came about. It would be strange to use their first names, for me its more affectionate to use mum and dad.

[Del Lardo]

I call them Mum & Dad though occasionally I go for Mother & Father to stir things up a bit

[Tak]

Dad or when I'm missing him lots its Daddy.

The other one is b**** or that woman who gave birth to me

There's another point, my mum calls me Deedles or Mithus, and my dad calls me Fatty.

Hmmm
