You would only capitalize mom or dad when in that sentence you would be able to replace it as a name-
"Hey Mom, drive to the soccer game please" you can replace Mom to be-
"Hey Donna, drive me to the soccer game please"
You wouldn't capitalize it when can't replace it as a name-
"My mom likes flowers" you wouldn't say-
"My Donna likes flowers"
Hope this helps!

When used as a proper noun in place of a name, "Mom" and "Dad" are capitalized. However, when used generically as common nouns, they are not capitalized. for example, "I asked Mom to pick me up" (proper noun) versus "My mom is a great cook" (common noun).

∙ 11y agoIf you use it as a name rather than a title.
As a name:
"Oh hi Mom, how was your day?" - Mom is being treated as if it were her name. Let's compare it to the sentence below:
"Oh hi Jen, how was your day?" - Jen is her name, and thus we capitalize it
As a title:
"That woman standing over there is my mom." -Here mom is only a title to describe the woman standing over there.
Let's compare it with the sentence below:
"That woman standing over there is my teacher."- again teacher is only the title of the woman standing over there, it is not the woman's name.

Does the word mom get capitalized when used within a sentence?
That really depends. If you are talking to ur mom, and u say "....Mom....." then it's okay to capitalize. But if ur just saying "...my mom...." then no. Answer: Proper nouns are capitalized. Common nouns are not. There are quite a few nouns that can be either common or proper, depending on how they are used. A Proper noun is the name of a particular person, place, or thing. Therefore the words "mom" and "dad" would be capitalized if they are used to refer to a Specific person, as in "Mom won't let me go." "Dad says I have to clean the garage.", "Joey's Mom says I can come over". Also, used in such terms as "Mom's room", "Dad's golf clubs", etc. when a Specific person is meant, it is capitalized. When the noun is used to refer to a generic mom or dad, then it is not capitalized. "All moms are welcome to attend.". A good rule is whenever you are using a noun In Place, or as part of, a Name you should capitalize.
