No when I want my moms attention I just say "Hey you lady that cooks me dinner."  Usually works.

How do you think that your parents in general would feel if you were to call them by their first names?  Would they be offended?  Because I do this to show an air of mutual respect.

No, I don't. It'd be too odd after calling them mum and dad after 19 years.

They'd probably think I no longer regarded them as my mum and dad, and no doubt it'd hurt them a bit. It wouldn't matter as such, they'd just be curious at the sudden change and wonder if they'd upset me somehow.

And my parents and I always respect eachother and we always talk like mature adults... er, mainly because we are. I don't think calling them mum and dad is a sign of disrespect or immaturity.

Yeah, I figured it would hurt them a bit when I made that sudden change too.  They probably do wonder what they've done to deserve it; either that or they already know.
