how do you call or address your parents?

I know it's uncommon, but I have always adressed my parents by their names. We all have a name that identifies ourselves in an unique way, so I think that it's good to use it for your family members too

Hi,I address my mom as amma and dad as daddy and my mother in law as athiah and father in law as mamiah...

Mom and Dad, I knew a lady who called her mother "Mother" but I heard tons of disdain in her voice - not that I can particularly blame her, her mother was a terrible woman!

I call my mother "mama" and sometimes "ma" or "mom", and i call my father"papa" .

im also frm phil. And i call my m0m, mama and my dad, papa. My s0n calls me m0mmy,s0metimes mamay. He calls his grand parents wowa and w0wo..

we in the family used to call mother "remats" and father "erpats", they were the names since chilhood i've heared from my older siblings, as they call our parents. for me even these words are inverted mother and father and mispelled also, it shows respect and honor as they are the persons who made us unique and morally upright individuals. we must address our parents in a respectfull manner, and must show them that they deserved all the love and care we can give to them since they are our greatest possesions that we have and they are the gifts from our creator.

I still call my parents mom and dad. That is what I have called them all my life and I will not change that. Actually I am sure I called them Mommy and Daddy at some point but I don't know when I dropped the Y. I don't understand why people call their parents by their first names. I think it is disrespectful. My mom never wanted us to call her mother. I called her mother once and she got really mad, I never did it again.

I call my mother "Inay" and my father "Itay". Those are the old-fashioned why of calling Mom and Dad and normally being used by people in the province and by poor people. Nowadays you can seldom hear children calling their parents with those there as Inay and Itay or Nanay or Tatay. It is more modernized these days and people whether rich or poor would prefer calling their mother as Mommy, Mama or Mom while their father they either call them Daddy, Dad, or Papa.

I used to call them mama and papa because of our spanish upbringing and Grandma was Abuela and Grandpa was Abuelo

I am from pampanga, philippines, so i am a native kapampangan speaker I call my mother, " Mako" and my father " Tatang ko", but there mis this my friend who address his parent s with this way, "Mudra and Pudra" I love my mother and father Lienrose here

I call my parents mama and papa as well.. I like them better than mommy and poppy. Though some call their parents that way here. I just think mama and papa are more personal and deep than mommy and poppy..

I call my own parents "mama" and "papa". My kids call me mommy.

I call my mother 'nanay' and my father 'tatay'. All of their grandchildren do the same. Tatay and nanay are endearment name for one's parents in our culture.

I call my father as "pa" and my mother as "ma" It is the same with others, the difference is only I call by its abbreviated form from the actual words "papa" and "mama"....

I have always had love and respect for my parents. When I was younger i called them mommy and dsddy. As i got older they became mom and dad. I never cslled them mother and father. That sounded to formal and awkward. I know of some families where the parents are called by their first names by their children. N o matter what we call our parents, we should always show them honor and respect and love. They deserve it from their children.

I call my mother "NANAY" and my father "DADDY".In other people I do address them Sir and Ma'am.When I am talking to someone eventhough they are younger than me I usually use the "po" and "opo" words.I cannot forget those words because for us Pinoys it is also the way how you pay respect to others.

I call my father as "appa" and mother as "amma". Even in short form, I call them as "pa" and "ma"
