Do you still call your father "Daddy"?

| My dad called me at work and I answered, "Hi Daddy" which my co-worker thought was weird and babyish. I thought this was common. I don't have a daddy complex. It just seems strange at this point to call him Dad. |

| Yes, I alternately call him Dad, Daddy, or Opi, which is what his grandchildren call him. I don't care what anyone else thinks. |

| No, I haven’t called him that since I was a small child. I call him Dad, or more often these days, Grandpa. |

| Never did but I wouldn't judge someone who did. |

| Are you Southern? I’ve heard that a lot more in the South than other places. |

| No, I would feel weird calling him Daddy, but my sister does it. We are both in our 40's. |

| Dad. Daddy is childish. It makes you sound spoiled. |

+1 I won't think you're spoiled or immature just because you call your dad "daddy." |

No.
i think it's very icky for anyone over the age of 6 to call their parents mommy and daddy. |

| Weirdly, I call him Dad when I'm talking to him, but if talking to my Mom about him its "Daddy." Not entirely sure why.... |

| I have never called my dad "Daddy". I've also never been close to him. I think hearing another adult call their father "Daddy" would sound weird to me at first, but then I'd probably just assume they had a more affectionate relationship with their dad. One think I've learned in adulthood is that you can't assume that other people's families work the way yours does, and that doing so can cause a lot of unnecessary conflict. |
