Do you still call your father "Daddy"?

[Anonymous]

I call my dad "dad" when I'm talking to him, but when I refer to him when I'm talking to my sister, I call him "daddy." I am in my 40's

My adult children still call me mommy. I think it's cute

I do about half the time. He's an incredibly sweet man and often I just say it when I pick up the phone and I know its him. My mom is awesome but I call her mom.

i think it's very icky for anyone over the age of 6 to call their parents mommy and daddy.

Agree

I guess my eight-year-old is icky, then. Because she still calls us mommy and daddy, unprompted, and I think it's sweet and wonderful. Not sure what's "icky" about it.

I called my dad "Daddy" until he died when I was 38. All my siblings did, too. Our Mom was "Mommy" until she died when I was 39. When we talk about them, they are Mommy and Daddy. Even in middle school, I called them that and was not embarrassed. FWIW, my kids call me "Mom".

I did when he was alive. He was 80 when he passed, I was 45 or so. I don't think it's a big deal. It's a sweet thing.

DH and I (and our siblings) - call our parents - Mummy and Papa. We are in our 50s and our siblings range in age from late 40s to early 60s. My ILs and parents are in their 70s to 80s.

My kids call me - Mom. Mumma or Ma. They call DH - Dad or Daddy. They are in their teens and twenties.

That seems formal for an American.

The worst is when women refer to their fathers as Daddy when talking to other people. “Daddy didn’t like the idea of me driving from Charleston to Nashville by myself, so he bought me a plane ticket.”

My grown friend and her sisters call their parents mommy and daddy. It's so weird.

I call him Papa, which is the French word for Dad/Daddy (there's no difference).
