    Specifically, What do you address them by?

    I call them Mommy and Daddy and as for my grandparents. Mama and Papa.
     
    I call my mother Mom. When I refer to my father, it's usually "my dad", sometimes "my father", depends on the conversation. I call my stepdad by his first name; did so when my mom dated him, just carried over when they married.
     
    When I'm actually talking to my mum, "Mummy" or "Mum". As for my dad, it's either "Daddy" or "Dad". When I'm actually referring to them it's usually "my mum" and "my dad".

    Telling somebody "my mummy" just sounds awkward.
     
    I address them as "Mom" and "Dad", and refer to them as "my mom" and "my dad". There's an inside joke between the three of us about being called "Jeff Bagwell and Miss Tomball", but it'd take too long to explain thoroughly, so forget I mentioned it. XD
     
    When speaking to them, "Mom" and "Dad". When referrencing them in conversation "Mother", and "Father". I call my stepmom "G-Mom" because her name is Geneva, and I wasn't allowed to call her by her first name when I was younger. I call my stepdad by his first name, though, Jonathon.
     
    I just simply call them Mom and Dad. Pretty boring, but Ilike simple things.
     
    I call my mother 'mama', my dad...'dad', and my step dad 'Bubba'. It's cause when he and my uncle were kids, he couldn't said 'brother' and called him bubba, so his kids call him Uncle Bubba and when my mom and us found out, we thought it was funny so we carried it on.
     
    I call my mom, Ma. And I call my pops, Pa. I'm too lazy to call them mother and father. ^_^
     
    ...well sort of complicated for me.

    I live with my grandparents, who I call Nan and Pop (and refer to them by that too).

    And then there's my mother, who I sometimes refer to by her first name or "my mother", idk depends. My Dad, I used to call Dad, but now I never see him so don't really need to say that. Oh and when talking directly to my mother, I don't call her anything.
     
    ...hey you. :D

    I call my dad 'daddy', and my grandma 'nanny' 83

    and oi. oi is a big one. D:
     
    I call my mom 'daddy' and my dad 'mommy'.
    Not really, I call them Mãe and Pai, because I'm portuguese :)
     
    I call both of them by their first names. Apparently that's disrespectful, but I don't see why. I just feel more comfortable referring to them by their names, anything else sounds weird.
     
    I havn't said my parent's names for years I just realised.... xD Anyway, I call my mum "Mum" or ((this is weird)) at night time I call her "Mummy" xD I just call my dad "Dad".
     
    I tend to just call my mom...mom! On the rare occasions I do see my dad, I call him by his first name. Some people think it's incredibly rude, but I don't think I've ever called him anything but his first name, so calling him "dad" would feel rather awkward to me.
