I guess it's rare these days to address parents with such formality. But I won't be surprised if some more traditional people in certain cultures do the equivalent. I know many Chinese families don't do the familiarity thing that Western families do - nothing sick about it, just that they're not used to being casual in the parent-kid relationship (being used to different family dynamics is NOT being sick). It's still pretty unthinkable to call parents by their first names even over here in Singapore where we're a lot less traditional.
And contrary to what gangstaboy thinks, I don't think there's anything wrong with watching older movies. Just because I want to watch, say, To Kill A Mockingbird, doesn't mean I want to start talking with a Southern accent and call my father Atticus.

I only call my parents MOTHER and FATHER...calling them mom and dad is just disrespectful!
As for Sir yes i say that sometimes like when i am speaking to an older male and i don't know who he is.

Back in the days that's how people referred to their parents,I like how its ok to be more personable with your parents now.

Only mom and dad - my parents.
Sometimes I do use Sir, but that is in joke only.
But, even my parents didn't talk like that with their parents.
