Children calling their parents by their first name is weird. The younger the children are the weirder it seems.

I used to have nicknames for my mom that were nothing to do with her real name, I’d call her some random name and it would stick for a while. Actual names like Sue or Lisa. Longest I went calling her one exclusively was about 2 years, and I got my siblings involved. She found it funny and never minded.

My kid calls me mummy or “bum bum” or “butty”, which she thinks are hilarious. She calls me by my real name sometimes too. But 90% of the time is mummy so whatever. I don’t mind 😂

I know a 3 year old who calls her mom by her real name, she’s super intelligent for her age and insists she has to call her mom what everybody else does 🤪

My 2yr old learned my name is not mom and he sometimes says “I love you (name)”

Haha I think it’s cute 🤷🏻‍♀️ he doesn’t call me by that when talking with me

My sister did that when she got into high school. I didn’t learn until 40 years later that my mom assaulted her while I went to college.

I did that once and never did it again. Can still feel the slap across the face.

I don't like calling my mom "mom" bc I never felt like she was one, really.

I still call her mom tho, so I won't offend her fragile ego.

So disrespectful! Shows lack of discipline and respect.

I agree with you totally. I find that very offensive and disrespectful. My kids have never called their dad or me by our first names. We've always been Mom and Dad.

I once did that and soon was chided and humbled by a good dressing down! Glad I learned that early on.

I still don't call my mother by her name; I'm 54.

I’ve honestly never understood that. There were only two people in this world I would ever be able to call Mom & Dad. Nobody else. I was okay with that.

I called my father by his first name.

He called me by my second name, which no one else has ever used.

My second name was his first name,

I always wanted to see Beaver..in Leave It To Beaver...address his dad as [i]Ward[/i]😆

He'd be grounded and the season cancelled!

I do find it weird calling my inlaws mom and dad though.

I think it’s interesting how serious people take this, after reading comments.

I suppose I don’t see it that way Bc my children are so young and they only have said it because they thought it was crazy mindblowing that my name isn’t mama/mommy/mom

They do not address me in such a way on a regular basis, but like I had said, my son has started occasionally randomly saying “I love you (first name)” and giggling because he thinks it’s silly

It would be so weird for me to do that. I can understand if they have a terrible relationship tho

its that behaviour that makes kids call their parents by their first names to begin with lol

Children calling their parents by their first name is disrespectful.
I would not tolerate it.

To me it indicates a very bad parent- child relationship

I always called my parents "Mum" and "Dad" but in my late teens I stopped calling my uncles and aunts "Uncle so-and-so" and "Auntie so-and-so". One of my cousins used to call her parents by their first names but she worked in the family business with them so I suppose it was more understandable.

My daughter waited until she was out on her own to start calling me by my first name. It amuses her. It struck me as weird at first but now I'm used to it. Picking my battles. Actually I have few disagreements with her these days.

Yes it is very weird- the only "parents" I call by their first names are my in-laws.

In my house it was yes mother and sir for dad. To call them anything other would be seen as disrespectful and would earn us the belt

I call my parents by their first name out of habit after they'd stop answering to me calling out to them as "mom" or "dad" in public places, lol. They don't care.

When I grew up there was a family a few doors up that used there first names all the time it was was strange at first but you got used to it lol

I call my mother by her name sometimes. She's used to ignoring me when I say mom sooooo
First name it is

Or referring to them as their roommates.

I was a little upset when my daughter started calling me dad instead of daddy lol

My sister never wanted to be called "mum" so she had her kids call her by her first name. 🙄

I started using Mother and Father for dramatic effect when I talk to my parents.🫣

Yep... that's a clear sign of disrespect.

What would you do if your were called a "C#nt" by one of them?

no, Donna, it i snot time for a nap.... lol 🤣

ikr, I wouldn't like it

Quite right too.

lol

I called my grandparents on side of the family that way. Never my own parents though.

IWhen I worked with my mother at the same place O called her by her name instead of mom out of proffesionalism. Other than that my sister andbI might occasionally use her or my father's name in a jes lt but not in actual calling to them.

My baby cousin, Lisa, was born when I was 19 and is a bit slow, she never grasped the concept of mom and dad, so she called my uncle and his wife what everyone else did, their first names.
