What do you call your parents?
I call mine mum and dad. My dad called his mum ‘mam’ as he grew up in Hartlepool, and whenever he’s texting me about my mum, always says ‘your mam’.
His family also called everyone ‘our’. So ‘our Tim’ ‘our Auntie Sandra’. Everyone belonged to them, family or not  |

"Mum and Dad. I refer to my Dad as my old man though when talking about him."
I call my dad ‘Grandad....’ and his name because he’s angry he’s going to be a grandad at 37  |

Nope. Been in my life since I was 3. He’s my dad, no matter what. Neither of us like the ‘step’ label. |

Mum and Dad. And Grandad and Granny.
Never the "our" just first names or aunty / uncle . All other relations just get first names no titles |

I’ve never heard of the ‘our’ thing referred to outside of Bristol before!

My mum and dad is mum and dad, I had a grandma but she died when I was three so don’t ever talk about her but my sister does. I had a nanny and 2x grandad (I never used their names at the end)
My kids have got grandma (she’s their great grandmother and she gets top ranking ), 3 x nanny’s (they use their names, much to the annoyance of my mum, my dad knows she hates the name Maggie but my kids couldn’t get their tongues round Margret when they were small!) , 2 x grandad (plus name) and 2 x step grandads and 2 x step nannies (but they are just their first names).
I want to be nana when I am a grandmother, nana alison had a nice ring to it, I’ve already put my name on that one!

Definitely in Manchester. Every relation is “our” someone or other. My brother is our kid. In fact half the time I just call him kid. |

I don’t hear it as much anymore as my Dad’s mum died eight years ago and my Dad’s family are mostly in England, so unless we’re visiting them or they’re visiting us, I don’t hear it as much. It’s odd the things you miss! |

It's very much a Sheffield thing. I'm always "our Darren" to my mum |

My parents are mum and dad. Grew up with 3 set of grandparents. Nanna and Grandad, Granny and Granddad and Great Granny and Great Grandad.
My parents are Grandma and Grandad with last names to prevent confusion. Granny is still around and doing well but Grandad died a few years ago.
I actually have no desire to be a grandparent myself...

There and to the left a bit |
My Mum is Mum, although occasionally Mother if I'm either trying to wind her up, or exacerbated with her, and actually how me and my brother refer to her when we're talking about her.
My father disappeared when I was a baby, and although he's out there somewhere, he doesn't get referred to as anything other than 'my father' when I talk about him.
My step-father is referred to as my step-bastard!!
Grandparents on my Mum's side were Nanny and Grandad and never knew them on my father's side. |
