The first known record of the word “dad” was around the year 1500. Scholars suggest that the origin of the word “dad” actually comes from the first noises that kids make. “Dad” or “Dada” also sounds similar in many different languages and consists of two similar sounding consonants.

These impulses may be either positive (admiring and seeking out older father figures) or negative (distrusting or fearful).
“Father” is a biological term, while a “Dad” is a real parent. A dad is there for his child as a persistent, loving force in their life, while a father just refers to anyone who has had a child. It takes a real commitment and warmth to be a dad, while a father might not even see his child regularly.
When fathers connect on an emotional level and invest in building relationships with their daughters the increase in physical, mental and social well-being is profound. Fathers have a very important role to play in building emotionally and socially healthy children.

Answer: Most Australian kids will call their parents 'Mum' or 'Dad' (or the equivalent in their language spoken at home) as circumstances dictate, however this may not occur in blended families where it is common for the step parent to be called by their given name.
“Mum” is the Australian (and every other English speaking country) equivalent to the American “Mom". However the two words are not so different as their spelling suggests. Americans actually pronounce Mom as “Marm" which is basically just a drawled out version of Mum.
British spelling is closest to the Middle English form of the word, where as the American spelling is closest to its Latin ancestor. Mom and Mommy are old-English words, words that are stilled used in Birmingham and most parts of the West Midlands.
The Mom family name was found in the USA, the UK, Canada, and Scotland between 1851 and 1920.
