That's very disrespectful. We're not supposed to call our parents or grandparents by their name.

Why? That's never made sense to me. It wasn't disrespectful to the people who raised me. Are they somehow wrong?

I generally assume the parents suck if their kids call them by their name. That implies there isn't a very close relationship there honestly

Could you elaborate? Never seemed weird to me to call my mom by name; it's her name. We're pretty close. I also called my grandmother by her name. That means our relationship was somehow less according to you?

I also called her mom (or mommy when I was very young) but I usually called her by name cuz it felt better for my speaking self.
