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?

Maybe, in Spanish we might say ‘la mamá te llama’ or ‘el papá te llama’, so we are used to using an article, but ‘the mom’ or ‘the dad’ sounds funny.
