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!

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.
