My little girl gave me only 3.5 years until Dad started. Although it's 50/50 still (4.5yo)

For fun, I still call mine Mommy and Daddy.

I don't remember when that transition started... sounds like a real trip.


Hey, as someone who doesn't know, what's parenthood like in a nutshell?
One word?

My neighbor said the exact same.

I have a 5 yr old daughter who's been acting like she's PMS'ing for the last week. The kid is driving me up the wall!!!

You know, there are people who will call you Daddy for the right price. And do other stuff too!

I think I only ever said "mommy" once. Didn't like the way it sounded (too "pleading", ya know?)

When I was a kid and needed to borrow money off of my Dad...after giving it to me my Dad would say: "repeat after me...Thank You Daddy Dear"

He also used to get a kick out of hiding horseradish in our vanilla ice cream. That used to make him laugh so hard that his face would get all red.

My daughter will be getting the same kind of love

I get Father the odd time, but she's usually acting out a movie scene.

I've noticed that in a lot of Disney and Barbie movies, the Daddy's are almost always called Father.

Yeah, "Father" comes out when she is feeling like a sarcastic, smarty pants.

My daughters are 19 and 20. No pix, they're too cute to turn you guys loose on them.

Sometimes I'm dad, sometimes padre, poppa, pappa-san, and various other things.

But when "daddy" comes back out, I know it's gonna cost me. That's the power word for daughters...it gives them instant power over dad.
