[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s always infuriated me / made my skin crawl when people drop the “my” when telling a story or talking about their own family. Your dad is not my dad, my dad is not your dad. Dad isn’t sufficient and sounds weird. “Dad and I went to a nats game” implies you and I share a father. I’ve noticed it’s mostly with super cliquey awkwardly close, southern baptist type families. [/quote] Yes to this. The only person who should drop the "My" when referring to mom or dad are my siblings. Even with my SIL I'll say "my mom" or "your mom". [/quote] In Spanish I say "My Mom" even when talking to my own siblings. I don't know if it's a language thing, I welcome other native speakers to chime in and I wonder if it varies by country. We are from southern Mexico. [/quote]
