What do you think about a teenager still calling her dad daddy?

r/

I (15f) still call him this. He hasn’t told me to stop calling him this or anything and he calls me things like baby and sweetheart. But do you think I should start calling him dad instead at this age?

    You are allowed to call your father anything you want.  At any age.

    You call him whatever you want. If someone has any concerns about it, that tells more about them than anything.

    It’s fine, why wouldn’t it be?

    There’s no age limit.

    Call him what he likes. If he’s ok with it keep using it. If you have to switch to Dad you can still use it on occasions.

    My mom called her parents ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ into her 40’s.

    My wife is 46 and still calls her dad “Daddy”. It’s not weird unless you make it weird.

    As a father of two daughters, they can call me daddy, dad, papa, whatever they want for as long as they want to. There’s no age limit to any of these names

    My wife is 39 years old. She still calls him “daddy”. He calls all three of his daughters and his wife “baby” on occasion. As far as I am concerned it speaks to the depth of their relationship, and at 45 years old myself I think it’s the best thing.

    I’ve got adult friends in their 30s and 40s who call their parents mummy and daddy. I find it strange, but that’s how I was raised. It’s none of my or anyone else’s business what people call their parents.

    I think it’s fine if they’re both fine with it who cares

    Each to his own…

    I (67M who just lost his mom…) don’t remember using “mommy” or “daddy” as my preferred names. For me it was Mom or Dad.

    When you feel like it’s time for you to grow up, it’s time to quit calling him, daddy

    My 53-year-old wife calls her father daddy. Why do you think you have to stop?

    It’s only weird if you make it weird.

    There’s no age limit. I’m sure other girls your age do the same. Your at a common age to question all sorts of things. But there’s nothing immature or inappropriate about it. That’s your father and if you two have a close relationship, that’s awesome.

    I wouldn’t want my kiddo to feel like they have to call me anything different than what they want.

    Am 34. Still call him daddy.

    What ? In my langage there are equivalent to “dad” (père), “daddy” (papa).
    Never heard of someone changing the way they call their dad because they are older. It would be really weird.

    I am going to address what I think you mean. As long as you don’t get the urge to call boys you are attracted to by the same name, you are good. Don’t let other people’s “missuse” of the word discourage you if it feels right for you.

    I’m 44 and call my dad daddy. And my kids call him ‘Big Daddy’ just like Blanche on the Golden Girls

    Call him dad, daddy, pops, papa, big dog 🐶, etc. My younger sister is about to turn 30 & she still calls my Dad “DADDY!! 😃”.

    Whatever feels comfortable to you 👍

    My daughter is 25. She still calls me daddy.

    I have no problem with it

    With all due respect, why the fuck would you listen to us if we told you to stop? That’s your dad dude and he loves you and you clearly love him, call him daddy who cares

    I’m 31 & my dad & I still sometimes go to the daddy/baby combo. I’m currently pregnant & noticed we said it recently & it made my heart feel full cause even though I’m having a baby, I will always be his baby.

    I still call my dad-dad and sometimes daddy. I adore and love my dad he is just simply my best ever loving dad. It’s perfectly fine to call him that.
    Now however if you call you hubby that to….that could be embarrassing so I’d be careful if that’s a thing too for you lol .

    Yeah, please don’t stop because of what strangers think or what works for others. If you call your father daddy you have a relationship worth cherishing
