[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call him Papa, which is the French word for Dad/Daddy (there's no difference). [/quote] There definitely is a cultural/linguistic difference. In French the options are essentially père (formal or the equivalent to “father”) or papa (which most people use these days as an informal alternative regardless of age). Unlike English where in lieu of the formal “father” most adults/adolescents use Dad informally and Daddy tends to be reserved for little kids. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with an adult using the term if it’s their preference, but it’s definitely less common (and might get some head turns).[/quote]
