Not in the South! I’m old and I have always called my daddy “daddy.”
Ok, thanks for setting me straight. :)
“”Not in the South! I’m old and I have always called my daddy “daddy.”””
I’m in the south now but was raised as a Yankee and when I speak of something my father did (long deceased), I still refer to him as Daddy as I’d never called him anything but that. It wouldn’t be natural to refer to him as Dad or any other term. I remember my mother always referred to her father as Papa and as a young kid, I always thought that was odd but I can see why she did..it’s just natural.
