Sometimes I do, but usually it is just mom or dad. Do you ever call them by their first names?
-
Only my stepmother.
-
Nope never.
-
Only when my siblings and I joke around or tell a story about them. "Can you believe {dad's name}? Never to address them.
-
Never.
-
only when i can't find my mom in a store, haha.
-
Just mom and dad in Cantonese. Would be crazy weird if I called them by their first name.
-
Noooooo!
-
only to get her attention. like Stewie on Family Guy!
-
@shinymama: Yes, we totally do that all the time!
-
Never!
-
Never! DH and I call each other's parents by first names, though.
-
Never.
-
Never!
-
Nope! Never. I forget they have real names.
-
No, never. That would just be weird. They are mom and dad, end of story!
-
No. Never
I call my MIL by her first name.
-
No way! It's always mom and dad. I also call his parents Mr and Mrs last name.
-
jokingly sometimes by their full name
-
Never!
-
Only if someone else asks me their names lol.
-
Nope...unless I desperately need their attention!
-
Only if they aren't really paying attention. Also if I am working with my dad at his office.
-
I call my stepdad by his first name because 'Dad' is my biological dad's name in my mind, so it would be weird to call somebody else that.
-
Never. That would feel so weird.
-
Nope, never!
-
Nope. My husband calls his mom by her first name though and has since he was a kid. No one knows why. Lol
-
Never
-
Nope never! Not even in a store to get their attention.
-
I do it in a jokingly sarcastic manner. Very rare and only when I'm trying to prove a point and I know it will make my mom a little more upset than she already is (: I never do it to my daddy though (: Daddy!? At 26? I know, don't judge me.
-
No, almost never.
Only if trying to get her attention when Mom's not working.
-
Never! That'd feel really weird to me!
-
Nope, but I call them old man and old lady since I was a kid. My mom started it, and we picked it up. If I call my dad "dad/daddy", he doesn't respond. LOL
I call my in laws mom and dad in Khmer though. Weird huh!
-
Only to get their attention in a crowded place after yelling mom/dad doesn't work. And it just doesn't feel right.
-
Never, I was taught that is was rude as a child to call your parents by their names
-
Nope - that would be weird!
-
no, but i do call my MIL by her first name.
-
No way. I was never allowed to do that.
-
Only if they can't hear me at a store or something I will yell out their name. And when I tell stories about my mom sometimes I go "oh you know S just being S" haha it's always in a lighthearted manner.
-
Not to his face. But when I talk to friends, or even my brother sometimes, I refer to dad by his full name. It's kind of an inside joke for people who know him.
