#1What do you call your parents?
Posted: 4/14/07 at 4:50pmI find it hard to call my parents just Mom and Dad. I have always been calling them mommy and daddy, but everytime I try to say just mom, I can't help but get the "-my" in. Same goes with my dad....dy.

Sometimes I call my parents mommy and daddy, too.
For a brief time in 7th grade I called them by their first names.

Posted: 4/14/07 at 4:53pmMom and Dad, although sometimes it's just Mom and Leo. His first name seems less respectful for some reason, so I tend to use it quite a bit.
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Posted: 4/14/07 at 5:14pmMom and Dad for me, but actually I was just had a discussion like this...several people I know call their parents by their first names. That just feels weird for me, personally.

Posted: 4/14/07 at 5:46pmMy mom is momma and my dad (step-dad) is D-dub. (his initials are DW...when we were kids my mother wouldn't let my sister and I call him by his first name because it wasn't repectul enough.)
#9re: What do you call your parents?
Posted: 4/14/07 at 5:57pmUsually mom and dad. When I was obsessed with the show LORELEI though, I used to call my mom Mamalei...she thought it was cute.

Posted: 4/14/07 at 6:16pmused to call them mom and dad.....now we've started calling my dad "old man", trying to make him realize that most of the time he's being a little ****

I call them mom and dad.
For my grandparents on my dad's side (who have passed), I called them Bubby and Zayda.
And for my mom's side (my Poppop has passed), I call them Mommom and Poppop.

Usually they're just mom & dad, with the occasional Mammoy & Daddy. And sometimes I call my mom "momma",
(which yes is different from a 'mamma' sounds, ya know?)

Mom and "Hey."
Honestly, my dad has never been a part of my life, so whenever I do see him I don't bother with a name. "Hey, could you please pass the remote?" "Hey, where did you want to go to dinner?"

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

Posted: 4/14/07 at 7:35pmMy mother is always "Mom", but my dad varies from "Daddy" to "Dad" to "Michael" when he annoys me.

Mom or Ma, depending on how whiny I'm feeling.
Was young and still called my father Daddy before he died. Always used my stepfather's first name.

I can't make myself call them anything. I avoid addressing them when I do speak to them. I refer to the as "my mother" and "my father," but the words don't really mean more than the basic biological relationship to me.
I was raised by my great-aunt. When I was a tiny child, I called her Auntie. Some folks thought I was saying "Annie."
I called her that to the end. Even now, it is odd to hear her referred to as Aunt Carmela.

Dad's Dad . He's 89.
Mom died in 99 and she was always Mom in my adulthood.

My dad died when I was 20..... He was dad when I was older and Daddy when I was little.
My mother is mom or ma... or Mom Dukes. She loves that. But in public, I have to call her Mel or Melody to get her attention -- she'll seldom answer to mom when we're in a store or something.
