Our heavenly Father wants us to call him Daddy. Men should embrace their fathers (hugs) and give them kisses any time! I think it shows a closeness that can't compare to anything.
I call my parents a variety of things depending on the situation. And yes, sometimes I call my father Daddy - when I'm sad about something or worried about him. Most of the time I call him "Pop" because that is what he called his father.
And sometimes I call my mother Mommy for the same reasons.
I don't think anyone would consider us freakishly close (indeed, I am often puzzled by how involved other people's parents are in their lives), and I tend to be more parental towards them than they are to me these days. But they ARE my parents, and they do occasionally provide me with emotional comfort when I need it and I love them very much. To me, "Mommy" and "Daddy" are endearments similar to the ones I use with my other friends and family.
Now - GROWN WOMEN CALLING THEIR HUSBANDS "DADDY???????" Whooooole other ballgame. That makes me absolutely nauseous!
Disturbing. Had an Aunt & Uncle call each other Mom & Dad, at times. Not as bad, but still always made me cringe. Same with people calling their pets.....come to mommy, come to daddy. Something not right about that.
No, not at all. I had other good people in my life.
Regardless of whether or not you had other good people in your life, you father wasn't one of them. Your words, not mine.
So to say you don't resent that(I have yet to meet an adult who had lousy parents who is OK with that and why should they be), isn't true. I know people in their 70s who will still talk about rotten parents.
For you to start a thread like this, you resent people you see who are close to their parents.
And those of us who had wonderful parents who are no longer with us, would love to be able to call them whatever we wanted to one more time.

If this thread has done anything for me, it's reinforced my belief that there are two kinds of people: those that seem to take on bother about things that don't impact them at all, and those that don't.

Everyone has things that bother them. I wouldn't agree that it bothers me. It makes me cringe, but to each their own. If it makes you feel all cozy inside using those words more power to you. I have found it sweet some of the stories people have shared on this thread.
I call my husband hubby online only. It's shorthand. In real life, I use his name or Sweetie. Or some other honorific one says to a husband.
But hubby is one I picked up from my favorite aunt who was a cousin. She called her husband her favorite hubby. He loved it... (he was her only hubby....) and called her his most special wifey.
He had a different way of teaching, And I am truly happy the way he guide to the right direction.
