Sometimes they are more comfortable with calling them by their first name. Especially to step parents or adoptive parents

Maybe they're not as close to them as some other people or maybe as a sign of "respect" if their parents want to be called that.

Because they want to distinguish them as adult peers as opposed to superior beings in their lives. It a be healthy and productive to encourage a relationship such as this.

I think that is a family by family thing and some families not need formality. Some do. We were never told what to call our parents. We figured it out. Clear rules we lived by and feared really. I would not assume a kid who calls their parent by their first name is a bad kid.... Every family is different.

To personalise them. To feel more adult. Because its their name. Its very nice to be able to switch between the titel and the name of a parent makes for comfort, saftey and personal connection

To show that they dont have to listen to their parents. Their parents may be scared of them so they dont do anything about it. Its rude and you should never call your parent by their first name.

Different parenting styles work in different families. Some parents may be comfortable with this. As for you, stick with what you're comfortable with.

Some kids don't have full respect for their parents, in my opinion. Or, some kids must've been adopted and don't feel the need to call them "mom" or "dad".
