[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call my parents Mommy and Daddy and we’re not even super close. Someone once heard me calling my Mommy and said it was strange. I seriously never realized people “change” what they call their parents at some point in childhood. Is there like an age when people switch over to Mom and Dad?[/quote] Yes i think many (most?) American kids start using Dad and Mom when they reach grade school and are conscious of sounding babyish.[/quote] I call my parents Mom and Dad, as does my DH. My kids still call us Mama and Daddy (5th and 3rd grade). I have told them we are fine if they ever do want to go to Mom and Dad, or just in front of their friends, or whatever. They completely recoiled and vetoed the notion 😂. As an aside, I think it’s weird to call your own dad Grandpa. I’ve never heard that.[/quote]
