It tends to change as you get older, from daddy and mummy to dad and mum. I was over fifty when my parents died, and I never said father or mother to them. My daughter sometimes calls me mother - but only when she disapproves of what I've just said.

How you address to your parents also depends on your age. It would be odd if you address your mother as mummy when you are an adult. Just do what feels right to your age group.

I usually call my mother mom, but often by her first name since she doesn't answer to mom or mother in public. It's not odd in my family, both my parents refered to and often called their mothers by their first name. Some people are surprised and some of my friends a bit shocked they hear me call her by her first name.
When my father was alive I called him Daddy.

Hi,
Mutter = mother
Vater = father (but he passed away a few years ago)
(that's German)
When I was very small, I used to call them "Mama" (Mummy) and "Papa" (Daddy), but when I got four years old, they started teaching me to call them Mutter and Vater because my mother loved that.
