Question about Japanese
My textbook claims that はは refers ton one's own mother and お母さん refers to other people's mother. However, I often hear people call their own mother お母さん and call other people's mother はは in anime? Why is this?

勉強された時、お母さんは他の人のお母さんといわれています。母は自分の母です。どうして呼ぶと自分の母ですが、お母さんを呼びますか。説明していただけませんか？
answer敬語というのは、話している相手への敬意を表すものです。 母と話すときは母に敬意を表すので、お母さんと呼びます。 家族の呼び方はすべてそうです。 話しかけるときは、母、父、兄、姉とは絶対に、絶対に言いません。 かならず、お母さん、お父さん、お兄ちゃん、お姉ちゃんと形を変えます。
