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

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?

unsure what DF is? Darling Father??

Not stopped yet - I'm 38 so I guess I probably never will!

Still call my father Daddy. I'm 28. Not something I'm intending to change.

About 10, iirc. All the other children at my primary school (in a very rough, inner-city area) said mum/mam and dad, and I was becoming a laughing stock.

Until I was 27, the day he died.

Biglips · 07/07/2009 21:47

i never called my Dad - "daddy" but i remembered that my older friend when i was about 10 was calling her Dad "Daddy"...i was totally bowled over it as it was the first time, from my school friends, that i heard "Daddy"

I still call mine Daddy, although he's more often referred to as Grandpa now! I'm 38 and can't see me changing now, although I do sometimes refer to him as Pa, can't bring myself to call them Dad and Mum. My Ma called hers Daddy till the day he died at 91.

BananaFruitBat · 07/07/2009 21:49

36, and counting.

I can still do the Dadddeeeeeee whine if I want a favour as well!

CherryChoc · 07/07/2009 21:50

I still call mine Daddy. I would have been laughed at at school but I just couldn't change - Dad feels wrong, it's not his name!

Biglips · 07/07/2009 21:54

my MIL still calls her Dad "Daddy" and she is 61 (she is very close to her Dad)

MsUndastood · 07/07/2009 21:57

Sorry about your Daddy JJ

Was never allowed to say mummy or daddy because it was posh

Both my teenage DDs choose to use the "posh" version and get the p* taken at school.
