I believe it's more like Mom and my mom.
When you are directly referring the person it would be capitalized. For example:
"I said hi to Mom today."
"I said hi to your mom today."
If you're referring to the literal person named "Mom" it would be considered a proper noun, you're name for that particular person is "Mom".
Same for the word "pharaoh".
"I asked Pharaoh about the famine."
"Should I ask the pharaoh about the famine?"
"Pharaoh" is a title, not unlike "captain" or "commander". If you were to say: "I asked the captain why the boat was headed for the iceberg", you wouldn't capitalize "captain". If you said "I asked Captain Smith why the boat was headed for the iceberg", you would capitalize "Captain". On the other hand (and this is where it gets sticky), if your audience knows that you are referring to a specific person with a specific title (the Queen, for example, meaning Queen Elizabeth II), then I would capitalize it. If you're just referring to any old queen in a generic sense, you wouldn't capitalize it.
