What do you call your parents?

[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'.

[Dymetrie]

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

[Knipples]

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.

[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

Would never call my mum and dad by their names... they would find it disrespectful!

Mum would deffo tell me off.

A family friend calls her dad by his name.... such as Bart does in Simpsons, but its usually mocking him (and he is the type to be mocked lol).

Otherwise its 'Grandad Dave' as my Nephew has 3 Grandads!

Actually, I told a lie. I call my old man Foss. Started many years ago, I thought he was so old I called him fossil

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.
