What do/did you call your parents?

[Oeditpus Rex]

Poll question: What do/did you call your parents?

Note: I think it's seriously cute when women call their fathers "Daddy" into adulthood.

[_testify_]

[Ava]

[Random_Australian]

46. WTF, mate?

14. Mom was Mom and Daddy was Daddy...

My Irish born husband always referred to his mother as Mummy. His father died when he was seven but he and his sister, when they do refer to him, it's always Pa...

[Glorfindel]

10. Mother and Daddy

My grandparents were Grandpa and Granny & Papa and Mama.

[SeattleGirl]

11. Mom and Dad

Well, I refer to my dad as "Dad". He passed away many years ago. Sometimes me and my siblings call Mom "Mama Bear". She likes that.

My daughter calls me Mommy (she's 26). That's what she called me when she was going up, and she just never changed it. When she introduces me, though, she says, "This is my mom."

[WritingIsMyReligion]

22. My dad sometimes calls my mom "the Mama Bear."

Sweet, but when he does it in front of near-strangers--which is fairly often; my dad is NOT shy--my mother gets a little embarrassed.

[SeattleGirl]

26. I bet she gets a little embarassed. We confine that term

to family-only ears when we address Mom in that way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. Yup.......

This 62 year old daughter still calls her father "Daddy"!

And her mother "Momma"!

OH well....some things NEVER change! :blush:


I'm just glad they're still around so I can call them anything!

They are in their middle to late 80's!

[RevCheesehead]

13. It's changed lately.

It used to be by their first names. Now when I call on the phone, it's "Hi, Daddy." Right now, I need him to be my Daddy.

[BikeWriter]

18. Very good, Sweetheart, I'm sure your Daddy welcomes the change.

I would! ;-)

[RevCheesehead]

19. Thanks, BikeWriter.

Your response means a lot to me. :hug:

[khashka]

21. I understand that

Losing your mom must have hit you hard. In those circumstances everyone needs a Daddy...

You Ok, sweetheart? It's been such a short time..... I'm sure you are still hurting.



But we love you :)


:loveya:

Khash.

[RevCheesehead]

24. Now see?

This post is just one of the hundreds of reasons why I love you so. :loveya:

(and yes, I am... it comes and goes, like waves. :hug:)

[khashka]

17. I call them strange names

I call my Dad "Hermie Baby" and my mom "Marilyn".

Hey, it works for us and I've got their friends calling them the same things.


Khash.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

20. Mama. Daddy.

Sometimes "Mom" and "Dad" in more "sophisticated" company. I refer to them to others as "my mother" and "my father." I call them by their first names when trying to get their attention in a crowd/an area where lots of other people are screaming "MOMMY!!! DADDY!!!"

On Edit: My paternal grandparents are "Gramma" and "Grampa." My maternal grandfather is "Grampie." His late wife, my maternal grandmother, was "Grammie."

[RoyGBiv]

23. Mom and Grandma ...

The sperm donor was known as either "the sperm donor" or "the alcoholic."

[fudge stripe cookays]

25. "Bitch" isn't on your list.

So I chose Other.

I have "issues."

[Kali]

29. Sorry but that made me laugh

I have some too, with the other one, so I know what you mean - at least in a general way.

[SofaKingLiberal]

30. Slim Shady?

[fudge stripe cookays]

53. Nope.

Just someone to whom the maternal bond is ...shall we say....not quite so strong.

Mom threatened to drive up here and shoot me several years ago, so we get along much better when there is at least 200 miles separating us. For my own protection. She once told me she wished I'd strangled on my umbilical cord. Nice huh?

I think I have pretty good reason for my attitude.

[Heidi]

27. Mom and Daddy.

I think the "Daddy" thing is because of where I grew up. :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. Heidi, luv!

You can call me "Daddy" too. :evilgrin:

:loveya:

[Heidi]

31. Smarty-pants.

You're way too young to be my Daddy. :P

But I might start callin' you Bubba. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. I could be a Bubba

If my folks had stayed in Arkansas, I might well have been one.

[Heidi]

34. Thanks for the information,

Bubba. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

35. Remember...

Bubbas have Sissys. :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

36. I'm used to my male friends

from Arkansas and Oklahoma callin' me "Sissy" and "Girl." :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. I call women friends 'girl' all the time

It's a term of endearment. :hug:

[Heidi]

38. A term of endearment that's

hella sexy, too, in one of those "take me home, country roads" kinda ways. :blush:

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. I sorta sensed that

Maybe it's just the way I say it. :evilgrin:

[Heidi]

41. .

*Faint*

[Skittles]

32. mum and dad

mum is a Brit

[Ariana Celeste]

40. Mama and Pops.

There's one guy I consider like a dad to me, and I call him Pops. When I was a little thang I called him Papa.
Now my Mama, first of course she was my Mommy. Then as I got older she was "mo-ohm" with a roll of the eyes. Now she's my Mama! And sometimes when I'm lonely or needy she is Mommy all over again. :D

[Kire]

42. Mom or Ma and Dad nt

[northofdenali]

43. My daughter (24) still calls me mama.

It almost always brings me to (happy) tears.

[DanCa]

44. I have to call my old man "sir,"

Not father, not dad not pa, but "sir". If we called him anything else we'd get a backhand. I still have to call him sir to this day.

[In_The_Wind]

45. Udder. First it was Daddy & Ruth, later on it became Daddy & Deanna.

But that was a long long time ago.

55. Regular mom and dad now

When I was little, I did say mommy and daddy.

[kedrys]

56. Mom'n'Dad

but the s.o. calls my dad Dadoo, and Dad evidently thinks it's hilarious. We sometimes also refer to my mom as The Mama, from an old humor piece that was published waayyyyyy back. :)

[Scooter24]

57. Mother and Father

My parents are very formal people and like it. Also, they refer to me as "son."

[Shine]
