[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]using the terms “mother,” and “father” to describe parenthood, excludes those who do not identify with gender-binaries.

In other words, using “mother” or “father” is transphobic.[/quote]

my 2 y.o. uses mama and daddy interchangeably for me. I answer to both :).  (Would prefer though that she use ima/abba but I'll take what I can get. :))

I call my parents by their first names.  I don't think they cared and I wouldn't care.  [/quote]

To the PP who at 52 still uses mom and dad that seems so WEIRD to me.  I haven't used mommy and daddy since I was a child. I can't imagine using those terms now.  [/quote]

You’ve never heard anyone say Mom or Dad? [/quote]

I'm almost 50 and I'm rarely with people who are also with their parents. So no I can't recall that I have experienced  an adult addressing their parents as mom and dad.  First names seem more respectful at some point once you are an adult.

I will add that I now sometimes refer to them as Oma and Opa for the sake of my 2 year old (feels a little weird to me). My dad has tried to get her to say his first name but she can't speak well enough for that so I think it the preference of my parents to be called by their first names.   I'm willing to accept that it is my parents who are weird and that has skewed what seems normal to me.  :D [/quote]
