Do you say "this is my mom and dad," or do you use their names?

I introduce my dad as "my dad", but my mom as "Kip", which is her nickname that everyone calls her.  I never call her "mom" and haven't since I was a little kid. :hmm:

I thought you were like 50 or something Yi.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I usually say "This is my mother" which then leaves space for her to give her own name.

Most 50 year olds have at least one living parent.

So what's her name?  Not Mom's;  the chick you're introducing them to for the first time.

Hey, Mom, this is whoever.  Whoever, this is my Mom.  Hey, where is the beer?

I don't introduce people to my Dad, he is a curmudgeon.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

He doesn't need his parents to approve of his friends anymore.
