I don't talk to my mom any more, soooo...neither.

Her Highness...she's a real lady.

Mom

My

I usually refer to my parents as my brothers mother or father. When I talk to my triplets I refer to my wife as your siblings mother. I don't know why. I just like to watch the contortions on people's faces.

They're mine, all mine!!!! lol

Since having children of my own I refer to them as my parents.

My mom then theres (dad).

My mother.

It depends on context. When one refers to "Mom" as in, "I went shopping today with Mom," the word 'mom' functions as an individual's name and, therefore, should be capitalized. If, however, you are speaking to a non-sibling about their mother, for instance, you would not refer to that person as "Mom" as in, "So you went shopping today with Mom." However, if the non-sibling did indeed go shopping with your mother, you could still say "So you went shopping today with Mom," and it would make sense.

The non-capitalized version of the word 'mom' such as, "I spoke with my mom this morning about your mom," is used in the possessive, and is not capitalized.

So you can call your own mother by her motherly name, "Mom," but in general you usually cannot refer to someone else's mother by her motherly name. It is not improper to refer to one's own mother in the possessive sense, as in "my mom" but you would not speak to your own mother that way. You would call her "Mom," and in general you can use that term when speaking about her so long as you remember that it is functionally her name when used in that way.

The same rules apply to the word 'dad'.

Oh, and incidentally, the same rules may also apply to the words 'mother' and 'father' although those terms are less commonly used as names.

I'm always address my mom as mom. My daughter always uses my before mom or dad.
