Dad, daddy, and by my name, which I find to be hilarious because it’s largely considered to be disrespectful lol.

u/Karate-Coco 7h ago

I like your strategy. We're a Stone Cold Stunner family over here but different strokes for different folks.

u/ripndipp 7h ago

A Stone Cold stunner would also suffice and that's the bottom line

u/Blathithor 7h ago

Dad or daddy. Ill accept father or a variant of that as well

u/SRC2088 7h ago

Father is very situational and tone-dependent with me. My son calls me father when he's being a dickhead and it honestly pisses me off 😂😂

u/joshpennington 7h ago

Most of the it's just Dad or Daddy but when he's feeling silly he uses some nicknames we made up for each other.

u/Reasonable_Date2870 7h ago

I'm the wife, husband doesn't use reddit.

Our child is 5. It's Dad, Dada, Daddy, or Father Bear.

Occasionally his first name, if she hears other people using it. I think it's hilarious. He doesn't like it.

u/SRC2088 7h ago

Dad or daddy. 12 year old daughter and 9 year old son. My son calls me father sometimes when he's being a smart ass

u/SCaliber 7h ago

I don't really know these days. I wish she called me dad like she did when she was little. 

Now days it's daddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddydaddy

u/preferred-til-newops Older Millennial 7h ago

All 3 of my teenagers call me Dad, but a friend of mine with 3 teenagers all call him by his first name and always have. It always cracks me up.

u/Hobbes_XXV 7h ago

I called my dad by his first name for over 15 years. (Young when parents divorced, visited on weekends scenario). Step dad also by his first name. In my early 20s, i saw how painful that was to my father and corrected myself to calling him dad.

Im in the same situation now with my son, and im so happy he didnt do that same thing. Im Dad to him. He shortened it from daddy when he was around 8.

u/johnb300m 7h ago
