What do you call your parents?

Question

I call mine Mom or Mama and Dad.
I heard this older woman (probably in her late 50's or early 60's) call her parents Mommy and Daddy...it was kinda strange.

Answer 1

Mom and Dad. My neighbor, who is 47, says Mommy and Daddy. Gee, and I wonder why she's not married? Hmmmm.

Answer 2

Mom and Dad... If I was 10 then maybe Mommy and Daddy

Answer 3

Mama usually- sometimes Mom- a few times I'll call her Mommy.

Daddy is always Daddy.

Answer 4

Mom and Dad I use to call my Mom Momma and my Dad Daddy but I out grew that

Answer 5

Dead. Unfortunately.

Mostly is WAS Mom and Dad but we used to call Mom Mommy to tease her and Dad was often Pop. My Dad used to say I could put three syllables in Dad when I would drag it out.

Answer 6

I have always called my mom "maman" and my dad "papa" as I am a French speaker from birth (first language) and was raised using the French language.

My brother has called our father by his first name for many years though, not as a sign of respect but rather to keep a constant emotional distance from him.

Needless to say (but I'm going to say it regardless), they do not get along!

Sad but true...

Answer 7

You are suppose to give up Mommy and Daddy when you're about 8, very strange....I call my mother, Mom,,,,

Answer 8

I call my mother: Mom or Mama or Maaaaaa (like a sheep bleat) and my Father: Dad or just Hay (yes, spelled that way, like haystack..it's just a personal joke..lol)

Answer 9

Answer 10

Just kidding. Mom and dad, even though I don't have a great relationship with my father I still call him dad. Habit I guess.
