At what age did you stop calling your DF 'daddy'?

[MsUndastood]

Just curious because I have just seen my friend FB status going on about 'daddy' then I realised I still call my DF daddy too, in a fond way, I am 22

So how old are you if you still do and if not how old were you when you stopped?

[ineedalifelaundry]

Stopped aged around 7 or 8 I think!

[Dysgu]

I am 36 and still call him daddy sometimes. Sometimes I call him dad and other times I call him by a nickname based on his real name!

Same with my mum/mummy/nickname there too!

[WinkyWinkola]

I never called them mummy or daddy. Something to do with having four older brothers I suppose.

It makes me curdle inside a bit to hear DH call his parents mummy and daddy.

[Disenchanted3]

I'm 24 and call him Daddy.

[harleyd]

im 34 and i still do when im looking a favour

[UnquietDad]

About 6!

I think it's quite upper-class and "boaty set" to still call your father Daddy as an adult.

[Alibabaandthe40nappies]

I still call my Dad 'Daddy' most of the time.

[Sazisi]

I call my dad by his name, and always have. I think it's because he's my (older) brother's step father and I just copied him.
I do think it's a bit when a grown woman says daddy or mummy

[cory]

I am foreign but would never call my parents by their names, though the word I do use doesn't have to upper class helpless Daddy's girlie ring of 'Daddy'

I would probably expect dcs to say Mum and Dad when they're grown up; that's what dh says/said to his parents

[edam]

Still do, and I'm ever so slightly older than Dysgu (great name, btw). He'd be happy with Dad but my mother has always insisted on Mummy and my brain can't cope with shortening Dad if she's long.

(I do call them my mother and father if I'm talking about them though, only use Mummy and Daddy if addressing them directly.)

[edam]

(And there's nowt helpless about me - fat chance of much help coming from that quarter anyway, tbh.)

[Tinker]

I keep reading thread title as Dear Fiance.

Don't think I ever called him Daddy as a grown up but I did when he died

[StirlingTheStrong]

Stopped when he died when I was 16

[BecauseImWorthIt]

49 here and still call him Daddy! That's his name, to me!

[shelleylou]

Cant remember when i stopped calling my dad daddy, although when i want help its daaaaaaaaaaad

[MamaLazarou]

About 6 or 7, I think. I don't call the smelly old git anything these days.

I do, however, still call my mum 'Mummy' sometimes.

[TrillianAstra]

Don't remember ever calling him Daddy, so must have been quite young.

at all you grownups doing it

Maybe with a slight of people who are 'Daddy's girls' because I never had that kind of relationship. But I bet some of you would be on AIBU pretty quick if your DH called your MIL 'Mummy'.

[melmog]

I always write Daddy in cards, but stopped calling him that when I was prob 7/8? He is also Daaaaaaad when I want something!

Mum is just Mum though, whole other story.

[chevre]

my daddy still refers to his mummy and daddy. [trumping emoticon]

[YanknCock]

I was definitely a 'daddy's girl', but like Trillian, I can't ever remember calling him 'Daddy'. I must have stopped early on, maybe age 6 or 7?

The only evidence I have that he was ever called 'Daddy' is a picture of me aged 3 with a t-shirt that says 'I'm for Daddy's Team' (he played and coached on a few different baseball teams).

[Fimbo]

Probably about 9 or 10. My dd is 11 and has stopped calling us mummy or daddy for about a year, especially in front of her friends as it is just not cool. Ds (5) is starting to copy, dh is a bit miffed.

[Chandra]

I think I never called him Daddy, it was dad all the time. I still call my mum mummy, but only when she is upset.

[Hulababy]

Not sure, by secondary school age I would imagine.

My DD is 7y and still says mummy and daddy. Not looking forward to that stopping TBH; I like it.
