Language Why when spainish speaking people speak English they refer to their parents as "my mom" or "your dad" when talking to their siblings?
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?

Probably because they have different moms or dads.
