Mommie Dearest was an autobiography by Christina Crawford about her abusive mother, the movie actress Joan Crawford. It was made into a movie in 1981, starring Faye Dunaway. Buffy says in 1.03 The Witch:
“So mommie dearest is really… Mommie Dearest.”
In 2.04 Inca Mummy Girl, Buffy says:
“Ok, I’ll still get Xander before he gets smoochy with Mummy Dearest.”
In 4.08 Habeas Corpses, Cordy says:
“Listen up, Daddy Dearest”.
From 6.10 Wrecked:
Dawn: “Buffy called. She said she was going straight from the Magic Box to do some patrolling.”
Willow: “Oh, did she need help?”
Dawn: “No, she was just calling to check in. For like the tenth time today. I think she’s feeling all Joan Crawford ’cause of the other night.”

Jess,
There is another refwerence in ‘Wrecked’:
DAWN: Buffy called. She said she was going straight from the Magic Box to do some patrolling.
WILLOW: Oh, did she need help?
DAWN: No, she was just calling to check in. For like the tenth time today. I think she’s feeling all Joan Crawford ’cause of the other night.
