I don't call my parents by their first names. The names "Mom" and "Dad" are there to establish the relationship I have with them. To me, they're not just someone who lives in the same household.

Only when I can't get their attention for whatever reason.
It's a bit like "Mum, mum, mum! MUM! Heather!" "Hm? Yes Tom?"
I think she's just learned to tune out non-emergency related cries of "mum." I think think that's reasonable.

I answered no, but to be fair I do occasionally call my Dad by his first name. That's only when we're giving each other shit, in that special, funny way that only fathers and sons can do. Or when I need to differentiate between Dad (my Grandfather) and Dad (my Dad) when talking to my Grandma, since she always calls my Grandfather "Dad". To be fair, she often calls me by my uncle's name, and mixes up her kids quite a bit. My Mom, I would never dare call her by her first name directly. I haven't had the best relationship with my Mom, but I would never call her by her first name. Seems like it shows a complete lack or respect for the people who raised you. Except for my Dad, if he gives me shit, I'll give it right back with a smile.
Your parents deserve your respect; as such you should refer to them by their titles of 'mom' and 'dad' or whatever variation you prefer.
That said - when my father cheated on my mother several times, I called him by his first name for years. When I forgave him and called him 'dad' for the first time since, he cried.

I started calling my mother by her first name once I got tired of her accidentally calling be by my father's name, we both are annoyed by this kind of "name-calling". As for my father, I've been calling him "Old man" (in my language it doesn't sound THAT bad), for a long time now, he has more important things to care about.
No, because they don't like me do it, but i hope that in future generations it will change. If you think about it, it's a retarded idea, to force your children to call you only by your function, not your name.
Yeah if I called either of my parents by their first name I would get smacked so hard I would travel through time.
And it doesn't matter how old I or they get that's what will happen.

I don't use their first names, my brother calls my dad by his first name to annoy him and I find it weird when I hear my cousin calling her mother Ros, but I just call them Mum and Dad.
If I'm talking about my parents to someone other than my brother or sister, I refer to them as my mum or my dad, I hate it when people are talking about their parents and just say mum or dad, they're not my parents, they're yours, so say they're your mum or your dad.

always have always will
growing up with military parents and eventually joining the military you get costumed to calling people by their last name and the people closest to you by first name. Close friends will almost always have a nickname
I guess its sorta like in Asia

Calling your parents by their first name is unholy, and should never be done! Ok, I'm joking. However, I, always say mom and dad to my parents (mamma and pappa in norwegian). Also, for some reason, I've always called my sister; Dadda.
