"Daaaaaddy"
I'm so sick of hearing "Daaaaaaddy" I could smother a kitten (Disclaimer: I love animals and would never actually smother a kitten).
At what age is it no longer acceptable for a girl to call her dad daddy? I grew up without a father and I've only ever called my SF Pops. My girls didn't have their father around either but my oldest calls DH dad and my youngest just calls him by his name. My SD's 18,15,and 11 still call their dad daddy in that sickening drawn out tone and it runs up my spine and makes me physically ill.SS10 just calls him dad, thank the lord. Am I just being silly or is this annoying to anyone else?

Well, my SO's girls call him
Well, my SO's girls call him Daddy! They are 20 and 25. But then again, these are girls that have hated their birthday every year since I've know them (10 years). they don't want to get any older, they still wish they were little girls and being taken care of. As far as I'm concerned, they are still being taken care of!
I'm 46 and my sister is 45 we
I'm 46 and my sister is 45 we call our SD daddy. There's a 63 year old teacher at my school who calls her dad daddy. In some cultures, regions, families this is the norm.

The Dadddddyyy seems to be a recurring annoyance thing with SD's around here. I know it is with me. I hate that crap. Makes me want to hurl. I just want to scream SHUT UPPPPPPPPP in the same tone. *shiver*
"go from zero to bitch" love
"go from zero to bitch" love it!
My own bd has a litany of mom-names for me, each with their own clear purpose and intent. MA = right NOW jump TO IT!!! (yeah. right) Mom = normal kinda stuff Mama = lovey snuggly feeling appreciative.
But omg, it would just gag me to hear that Daaaaaadddy shit flying around my house. Since none of the three SDs communicate with their father, we're spared! (tho occasionally he does get the DAD! bark from MSD)
I'm black, grew up in and
I'm black, grew up in and still live in Brooklyn, NY. My mother and stepdad are from a small town in SC.
The vast majority of my friends, coworkers and neighbors are black (American and Caribbean) and Hispanic (Puerto Rican, Dominican. Regardless of age, we all say daddy or papi and mommy or momma.
My mom is still Mommy and I
My mom is still Mommy and I don't care how old I am.
Granted, I am 28. But it has only ever been the three of us, most of my life. I'm not manipulative with it at all. She's just Mama or Mommy especially if she surprised me at work or whatever.
THIS My mom is still mommy.

My mom is still mommy.
Well these are all white kids
Well these are all white kids and we live in Arizona so I don't think its a cultural thing. DH and his siblings don't call their parents mommy and daddy so I think its more from being babied most of their lives.A lot of the time I think its manipulative too and it definitely feels that way as well as a desire to be daddys baby no matter the age.So yeah it just grates on my nerves especially since its usually said in a whiney voice and I get very irritated when kids act baby-ish over the age of say 4. 11 to 18 is really pushing it.
My SS is 12 and calls is Dad
My SS is 12 and calls is Dad "Daaaaaaddy". He sits in his room all day while my DH is at work, barley eats, will not talk to anyone and waits for his "Daaaaaaaddy" to get home. The minute he pulls in the drive way my SS take off down the hallway and flings himself into DH's arms screaming "Daaaaaddy" like he has not seen him in years, and it was only this morning. Then he stays clued to his Daaaaaddy's side the rest of the evening and waits on him like a servant. "Do you want more water Daaaaddy?" or "can I take your plate Daaaaddy?" DH and I cannot have even the simplest how was your day or did you hear in the news... conversation without SS interjecting. It drives me crazy. My bio kids, one also 12 and one 16, will say hey how was your day, when I come home, then they go about their business. I guess the point I am trying to make is not the fact he calls his father daddy, but how he says it, like he is trying to stake out his territory.
Oh jeez your SS sounds just
Oh jeez your SS sounds just like my SS10. He lives and breathes for dad. Only likes what dad likes. Follows him around to babble about nothing,asks stupid questions he knows the answer to or just stares at him. He interjects into our conversations constantly and answers when I ask DH a question. He has to sit beside dad always and will rub his arm at the dinner table like he's the wife. Once it got to me so bad as we were eating dinner that I yelled "Would you please stop tenderly caressing your father at the dinner table?!" The other kids about died with laughter and I thought DH would be pissed at me but he laughed thank god.
It's that kinda weird,inappropriate shit that just grates on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard.
Same here. Like nails down a
Same here. Like nails down a chalk board. My DH gets sick of it as well - one of my step kids is VERY clingy and even my DH who's a loving father finds it hard to take. He's forever unpeeling the kid from him. He's patient though. More so than me.
I like your horsie analogy! Heh heh. Spot on.
Definitely a thing with
Definitely a thing with stepdaughters trying to have all of their dad's attention by constantly saying 'daaaaadddieee', which is usually followed by 'I luuuuvvvve you!!'
Peaches....sounds so much
Peaches....sounds so much like my SS. He will not eat anything until he asks his Daaaaaddy. "Do you like it Daaaaddy, if you do I do".....If you like this movie I do......if you like this song I do.....he cannot have an original thought. If he accidentally states "I like _________ (whatever)" and then DH says "oh, I don't like that" SS son will say "oh, I don't like it either, I was just saying that". It is sickening, and but DH is flattered by the fact his son looks up to him. I have tried to gently tell him that SS is not going to be capable of surviving in the real world as an adult because DH keeps him in a bubble and does all of his talking for him. He is oblivious to how unnatural their relationship is.
