Sample sentence: “Let’s ask my mom. Hey, Mom!”
When it’s standing in for a name, it gets a capital. The same is true of other titles like “captain” or “duchess”.

Whether you capitalize “mom” depends on how you are using the word. Is it a nickname, a common noun, or a term of endearment? http://ow.ly/8A4U30kCD7z

I’ve been having trouble with the word sister. If I follow the rule above, and I’m addressing her, that should be Sister. However, since the word has been politicised it looked kind of weird capitalised.

She covers that on page 2. That counts similarly to a term of endearment, in that you wouldn’t say to someone else, “I’m going to visit Sister.” So it’s not really standing in for a name, and you don’t capitalise it.
