Daughter aged 12 and son aged 9 and both still call us Mummy and Daddy without any hint of embarrassment despite my daughter’s friends finding it hilarious.
Our boys are (nearly) 6 + 12 , big lad called us mummy/daddy till he was about 9 little man started with mum/dad in the last 8-9 months (unless he’s after something)
‘Father’ by my son (14) said in an almost sarcastic way 🙄 Daughter (11) is currently going through a phase of calling me ‘my friend’…dunno what that’s all about 😕
I called my dad ‘daddy’, and then ‘dad’ when I got older. Sometimes it’s ‘daddio’ or ‘father’ if I’m being affectionate or silly, but generally it’s ‘dad’. I’m 36.
Just boring Dad mostly, Father Dearest if money is needed or inconvenience created.
Miserable old grump, which is a lie and enough to make anyone grumpy.
My kids have called me Dave as long as I can remember, the only time it worried me was when I took one of the girls to help me choose a ring as a present for the wife.
Dad or daddy normally. Daddio if they are looking to be funny and take the mick. That or my youngest calls me ‘Sir’ in a really gruff adult-sounding for comic effect. Daughter used to sometimes call me my name but that stopped as I didn’t pay it any attention.
All my four call me Daddy the oldest being 15. I sometimes get called Daddy by visiting friends of theirs who can’t speak English and don’t know what the word means which feels a bit odd.
Normally Dad or Daddy, but middle daughter has taken to calling me “Father” in a jokey kind of way to which I respond, “Yes dearest daughter.”
If in the presence of my girlfriends kids who call me by my first name, they sometimes follow suit and call me “Pete”.
