Hubby's parents used to be staff at the college I attended. Dad used to be one of my primary professors. They had to ask me to call them by their first names or to call them Mom and Dad. Usually when talking to them I will call them Mom and Dad. When talking about them to anyone else I will call them by their first names.
Hubby does the same with regards to my parents usually. My brother - we both call 'stupid' at times.
