Calling parents but their first names….os it acceptable?

My first m.i.l. I called Mum. I didn't have a f.i.l.
Second in laws I called by their first names.

Outlaws MissA.
I`m mom or ma to my son`s.

Once we had children MIL was called Nan by me as well as the children. She was the only grandparent so no mistaking.

My late mother in law wanted me to call her mum, I never could bring myself to do so.
I find it totally alien to call anyone but a parent mum and dad.

I think HowVeryDareYou has hit the nail on the head. If a parent calls their partner Mummy or Daddy then that's what the child will understand as that person. If you call your partner by their name then they will learn that instead.
Some of us just call our partners by their names.

I really don’t know why but our son (now 35) has called us by our first names since it he was about 3. I used to get upset and keep correcting him but then decided life has bigger things to worry about. Oddly in cards, texts, messages etc he refers to us as Mum or Dad. Our daughter calls us Mum and Dad.

I really don't see that it matters if everyone is happy with it. Our stepchildren call us by our forenames and younger step grandchildren call us Nanny &Grandad Soda.

I don't think it matters that much, as long as the children are loved and supported who cares ?
My son went through a period in his mid teens when he would use my christian name if trying to get my attention when we were out and about. Now in his mid 30's he just yells "Mum" !

I’m mum to all my sons, was mummy until they were about nine or ten. Orlin is dad to all but one who has always called him pops.
Daughters-in-law use our first names. We are Gran and Grandpa to the grandchildren, other grandparents are Nanna and Grandad, Nain and Taid.
My grandparents always called each other mum and dad, if Orlin ever called me mum or mother I’d call him something unprintable.

My parents had friends whose (rather strange) offspring called them Win & Roger. As a child I could never quite get my head around it! I called my parents Mummy & Daddy until my late teens then they became Mum & Dad although every card until they died was signed from mummy/daddy. I have friends who still call their very aged parents Mummy/Daddy. I find it a bit strange. My DDs call me Mum or Mumma & their children call me an amalgamation of my name and Granny. Does it really matter what you’re called so long as they call you something, love you and keep in touch. As for my parents in law who I only had for 10 years before they died, I don’t remember calling them anything (polite) . It was very awkward. DH called them a very formal Mother & Father

I'm glad my girl called me mum.

I never would,have,been,called,it in my life, if not.

Oh. Oops.,

Oooh, Laura if Orlin ever called me mum or mother I’d call him something unprintable.
???

I am mum. Very strange idea imo.

Sorry no full stop. I'm having a full stop anxiety day ?

Is it a Scottish thing? My Scottish daughter-in-law calls her parents by their Christian names and her brothers wife does the same with hers.

Baggs I chose the name specifically for GN. I left and came back with this name to remind me not to let comments bother me ?.

Mum and Dad here for our AC, Sil and Dil both call us by our first names, all fine by us.
I'd find it a bit odd if either of the inlaws called us Mum or Dad.
Eldest GS calls me by my first name when he's being 'shocked' by my outrageous behaviour, but Grandma is usual.
Mum/Dad etc denote a special relationship and I like that, so no I wouldn't like to lose that.

My mother always hated ‘Mum’ so she was Mummy until we were quite a bit older and started calling her Old Woman instead, which she didn’t mind at all. My father had been Old Man for a long time - the OW used it herself.

After Mummy and Mum, dds have called me a weird private name for years now - I’m perfectly happy with it. Dh is Pa, but I still refer to him as Daddy.
Son in law and ‘partner’ in law use my first name - I wouldn’t want them to call me Mum - IMO that’s reserved for your own mother.

That's good ntt ? I only meant that finding what is a pretty ordinary idea to me "very strange" could be described as a disturbance. Nothing profound ?

My daughter was upstairs with a friend. They were about 7. I was about to enter the room when I hard my child say I'll ask Lucy, (names have been changed!) I went in smiling saying *Lucy?

My child looked horrified that I'd heard. Her friend always called her parents by their names. I did think it rather odd.

I've been Mummy ever since ... yes I know .. some of you will cringe at Mummy, but that's how we've evolved.

My children cal, me Mum, Mummy, and occasionally Mother. And their father Dad, Daddy, and Grandad Dog. I’m Nana Dog. I love these names. I love it when my grandchildren say Nana. These are my precious names.

Baggs I don't think calling parents by first name is "pretty ordinary".
And I knew what you meant.

Eldest DD called my mum “Nanny Winnie the Pooh” one day. We laughed - and it stuck. She was always known as that by her GD’s until she died.
