Women's Logic and Men's Logic
My family was on a road trip. My mom was driving and my dad was navigating. After a while, she said she's tired and wanted to switch seats with my dad.
At the gas station, Mom parked, walked over to Dad's side, opened his door, and said, ''come on, your turn to drive.'' Dad refused and didn't even unbuckle his seat belt.
Mom urged him again, ''Come on, it's dangerous.''
Dad asked, ''What's dangerous?''
Mom said, ''Leaving the car door open.''
Dad replied, ''Close it then.''
My brother and I were dying laughing in the backseat.

In English when we talk about our parents we don't usually call them "Mom" and "Dad" to others, because to others they aren't called "Mom" and "Dad." The exception is siblings because you and your siblings all call your parents the same thing. So when I'm talking to my sister I'll call my mom "Mom," but when I'm talking to anyone else I refer to her as "my mom."
Essentially, you only call them "Mom" and "Dad" if the listener also would call them that.
DMy dad refused and didn't even unbuckle his seat belt.

You could say just Mom but you are telling us her name is Mom (which can be confusing because a lot of people would have this name). It's okay in this context because you only address your mom
The period goes outside of the quotation mark because you are ending the quotation and the entire sentence with the same period. You can put periods inside of quotations if there are multiple sentences. He said "I want to go home. But I also want to stay". The second period is ending the entire sentence again and typically you just use the quotation mark to show that the sentence in the quotes has ended.

I feel bad for your mom :( Hope she got a break!

Quick note about the quotations: in American English, the period does go inside the quotes, even if it's ending the sentence and is not part of the spoken text. I am American and I don't follow this though, because I think it's kinda silly. I just wanted to point it out because marsh_mallow may have seen this alternative, correct approach in some American source.

Okay I'm American and I got this wrong lol. Here is a helpful explanation because some punctuation goes into and some goes outside:
In the U.S., periods and commas (little punctuation) almost always go inside. Question marks, exclamation marks, semicolons (big punctuation) go inside IF they are part of the original quotation. They go outside if they are not and they are the end punctuation for the entire sentence.
