Here's the weird thing. When I address them it's always mum and dad. But when my sister and I are talking about them it's always, 'what did mummy say?' 'when did daddy give you that?'
I don't know why, it just came totally natural, but this is what I said in adulthood like around 30 or 40:
Getting my mom's attention: Mom! or Mother!
Talking about my mom to my dad: mommy
Talking about my mom to my brother: my mom (his birth mother died when he was 3)
Talking to anyone else about my mom: my mom
When I was sick: I want my mommy
Getting my dad's attention: Dad!
Talking about my dad to my mom: daddy
Talking about my dad to brother: my dad
Talking to anyone else about my dad: my dad
Now that he is with Jesus: my daddy (tearing up)
