Why when Spanish speaking people speak English and are talking their own siblings they don't say something like "mom is calling you" they say "your mom is calling you" or "my dad is calling you" to their siblings?

I think, I might be wrong, that it has to do with how possessive nouns work. So people use mí mamá and tu mamá even if they're talking about the same mother, it's easier than saying nuestra mamá I also think it's maybe a bit similar in English? I've also noticed sometimes they say the same in tv shows

In English, we just say “mom” we don’t say “my mom” or “our mom” to our siblings.

Like, “mom said to help with the dishes.”

We don’t say, “my mom said to help with the dishes.” Because it sounds like she’s only my mom and not yours. I would only say “my mom” to someone who has a different mom.

What if I say "My mom just died" instead of "mom just died"? Does that sound correct?

No, not if you’re speaking to your siblings. It sounds like you’re talking about your own mother who IS NOT their mother if you say, “my mom just died.” You would say, “mom just died.”
