So it's a cultural thing. The mother/father title thing is still weird to me. You're removing the name altogether which feels like a form of distance to establish authority. It's just seems dumb. A sign of familiarity between to family members is somehow bad? At least with teachers and Japanese people you're still using a name. I had some teachers that were pretty chill and didn't mind students using their first name.
