Do people actually call their parents by their name (as in First-name basis)? Have you ever done that? Or witnessed someone doing that?

  • Am American. I have always called my dad by his name (as far as I can remember), but not my mom. I don't know why. On reflecting over the years, I can only theorize that I must have heard my mom calling him by name, but he's not really someone to call out to others by name. So I think I just learned to refer to him by his name and it's always felt 'right' since.

    His mother actually got angry at me over it when I was little. It's (unfortunately) the strongest memory I have of that grandmother. It made me feel really bad and confused. I only stopped around her, though. No one else seems to have cared that I call him by his name to this day. He has never commented, and his sister and my mom have only ever seemed bemused by it.

  • There was actually a great video released yesterday by TheraminTrees about this very subject. It really digs into how all 'red flags' don't necessarily come from places of ill intent, but when the overall pattern unfolds it's a bad sign.
