The day has arrived: I'm no longer "Daddy".

[RandySF]

It's just Dad now. I knew this day was coming, but it's still a little sad.

1. I'm sorry, my dear RandySF...

I guess I never completely grew up; I called my father "Daddy" all the years he was alive...

I did feel a little silly but it felt right.

7. I did too.

My grown sons still call their father "Daddy," too.

I always said "Mom" though! LOL

2. How old is your little person?

My 11y.o. girl still calls me ''mommy" - but only in private.

[RandySF]

4. He's 8 going on 13.

[cyberswede]

8. LOL - I know what you mean

My 13 y.o. has been mentioning wanting to drive lately (eek!), but he still sleeps with a stuffed gorilla.

I think boys stop using "mommy" and "daddy" a lot earlier than girls do. And girls stop using "mommy" a lot sooner than they stop using "daddy."

3. My 27 and 21 year old girls still call me Daddy

My wife still calls her 70 year old father Daddy.

5. Aw. It might come back.

Every once in a while one of my daughters will call me Daddy.

6. 5 year old calls me Dad, but it's with the emphasis of Daddy

We're thinking he's on the Autism Spectrum, and he's not much for words. Follows me everywhere when I'm home from work. He doesn't use the word, but it has the feeling of Daddy.

9 year old calls me Dad, but she's willing to smile in order to get stuff, so there's a feeling of Daddy at those times.

13 year old will call me Daddy from time to time, when he wants something. Not sure why, but he slept in our bed one day last week.

Amazing how such seemingly insignificant things can be so important.

9. I'm still on the Dad/Daddy precipise.

My kids use the two interchangeably.

Of course, I still call my 70 year old father "Daddy&quot to much mockery from my wife).....some habits die hard, I guess.

10. Happens to the best of us man,,,,

[trof]

11. It 's when they make it two syllables that's bad.

'Daa-ad'

[Phentex]

12. Mine call me Mammy...as teens it became Mamma Jamma...

You'll always be Daddy in some ways.
