I’m in my mid 20s and I still refer to my parents as Mommy or Daddy. To call them anything else would feel strange. My aunt who’s in her 60s calls her mother Mommy even today. It’s not abnormal at all.
I don’t understand the question, I’m pretty sure that’s the norm in every country?! Why would you want to call them by their first name? That’s mad ghetto and respectful. How is calling your father, “Dad” weird?
After a certain age, men in the Bahamas normally call their parents different names other than “mummy” and “daddy.” For older women, its normally mums [In The Bahamas “mum” is strictly used for older women] or ole lady, for men its pops [this word is strictly used for aged men] and ole man or big man.
