Whatever she'll answer to. Sometimes I need to try a few variations before she'll pay attention

I call her mom. Mommy is annoying. I only call her ma when I say "Yo ma." I sometimes call her mamacita too if she's in a bad mood and needs her handsome son to make her feel beautiful.

i call her by her first name, i haven't called her mom since i was a kid. unless im addressing her as "my mother" for some reason im not sure what i would continue to caller by that title.
i dont go around calling my nephew "hey nephew" he has a name so i use it.

older generations sometimes see calling your parents by name as a sign of disrespect, but in out household it was the total opposite. you addressed people as individuals and not there roles.
