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.

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.
