To think calling your parents 'Mummy & Daddy' is a bit silly after a certain age..?

Example: 20 years old, mum to one, own place, but still refers to her parents as 'Mummy & Daddy'

I received a text from her when she was in labour saying 'Mummy's coming round to take me to hospital'

Often refers to them as 'Mummy & Daddy' in direct conversation and on social media sites too.

I totally cringe every time. AIBU?

What's even worse though, and someone may have already covered this, is when adults refer to each other, their own spouse/partner as Mummy or Daddy.

My friends parents do this and I always stifle a snigger.
