"Yes I do, they are been disrespectful to their parents. Unless they are joking around and it's a one off."
Doesn't mean it's disrespectful.
A friend of mine has always called his mother by her actual name but that was her choice she didn't want to be called mum. |

I don't mind our kids calling us by our first names but we do prefer "Mum" or "Dad".
They're only young so I like that they know our names incase anything happened to us and they had to ring someone.
They do often pipe up out of nowhere "Daddy is called ******" or "Mummy is called *******". But never get our attention by our first names. |

"My brother's kids have always called their parents by their first name. I found it odd at first but it seems normal now. It is their name after all  "
I get that...I know some who do it as the parents didn't want to feel 'old' x |

The only time any of my kids are permitted to do that is if they need to shout my name in a shop or other public place. No use them shouting dad in Tesco. |

Oh like people who don't want to be called nanny and grandad 
My brother and three of his five adult children, their partners and their children all live on a farm, they have their own houses but a very close relationship. The grandchildren don't use their first names though |

When my boy was 3 his mum asked him "what's mummy's name?" He said "mummy."
She then asked "what's mummy's other name?" He replied "wife!"
I got told off  |

"Yes it is weird. I still call my aunties Aunty "
I come from a large family and several of my uncles and their wives are very close in age to me. I've never called them uncle or aunt, it would feel a bit odd |

He now has her name saved in his phone as "fun police" and sometimes calls her that. I teach him well |

I don't find it strange. It is a made up title after all.
If that is what the parents want the kids to call them, then I see no issue. If the kids refuse to respect what their parents want to be called then that's different, and is disrespectful (so long as the parents are respectful themselves).
It is no different than an aunt or uncle not wanting to be called aunt or uncle, but by their first name. |

Aren’t all titles made up? Or is that getting too philosophical for this time of day?

I call my dad by his name because I only met him a few years ago. Would never do that with my mum though. |

"Don’t think I know anyone who does that. I’d probably think it a bit odd. My eldest calls me Marge sometimes. I must find out why  .
There's a very rude answer to that, but I'm pretty sure that's not what he means. "
. She. And it’s Marge from the Simpson’s lol.
Nice eh?! |

Here is a little thing to fuck with your head.
The origin of the word daddy is from prostitutes calling their pimps "daddy". It is a protective title.
It didn't originate at its current use of being a sole for a father. |

Didn't believe that so I looked it up, and that use of the word didn't come into place until the end of the 17th century, but the original word's earliest recording dates back to the mid 16th century referring to the male parent. |

I used to run a children's social club and my very young daughter would come to work with me. Everyone called me by my name, she started doing it and it stuck. I would get people pulling me up on it all the time saying "why does she call you ....." because it's my name was my response. When she turned 18 she started calling me mum for a bit. It switches back and forth now. It's never been an issue for me. |

Dad may very well of been 1500, but daddy as a slang word originated with pimps and prostitutes.
"sexual use of ‘daddy’ dates at least as far back as 1681, which the Random House Historical Dictionary of American Slang cited as the earliest use by prostitutes referring to pimps and older customers." |

It doesn't really bother me. It wouldn't have occurred to me when I was a kid but I know one of my ex-colleagues encouraged her son to call her by name as she thought it was good for him to know she was a person as well as his mum.
My aunty and uncle call each other mum and dad though, and that does always jar slightly. |

Not often that I’ve come across this.
My cousin used to call her dad by his name, but they were estranged - or at least only in distant contact. It might seem a little strange in everyday circumstances. |

I didn’t realise my parents were people in their own right until my early 20s. Just saw them simply as parents.
Strange but I doubt it’s uncommon. |
