it’s certainly not the norm to call parents by thier first names in a loving way, but there’s no reason it has to stay that way. Most people don’t use nicknames for their best friends, siblings, some people even use first names with their spouses, and that doesn’t mean these people are loved any less. using first names isn’t inherently distant/cold.
but at the end of the day honestly I think what you call your loved ones isn’t that important so if you’re more comfortable using mom/dad, that’s ok too
my siblings do this. it mainly worked/adapted to this because:
our parents gall each other with the first name
it was annoiying for them to differentiate our 5 different voices to all the other childs at the playground or parades and other public events where a bunch of kids where present
Edit: and i like the system more because i was very annoyed that i had to call other parents: {friends} mom, can i have a drink? because never heard their name. Thatvwas already infurating during kindergarden times

hot take: kids should just use their parents first names
Well good luck teaching your baby your actual name if your name is hard to pronounce.
then the last name or a nick name
to me it feels like keeping distance instead of having a good relationship, only second to “sir”.

Yes, this happens sometimes.
never going to correct that :p
This is weird to me
a lot of other childs thought it is weird so i think your reaction is pretty normal ^^
I grew up like this, using my parents first names. I started using mom/dad as a place denominator after they divorced, though.
I’m at dads is easier than using the first name, as that could mean other people’s places, too.
So it’s useful in a family that’s united, and everybody gets it, but it’s ironically harder to maintain after a separation. At least in my experience.
