my sd does this too and she is almost 13 it makes me sick. once and a while my DH will tell her to not talk like usually when i say "yes daddy what about it ".
i ofter thought when i talk to SD i should start referring to her dad and daddddyyyy just like she does and do it so DH can hear it and how stupid it sounds.

LMAO "cum dumpster" I just choked on my soda!!!!

Back to the topic SD13 still refers to herself as "baby girl" :sick: :sick: :sick: she even signed her text messages with that. So every single text message she sends ends with **Baby Girl** makes me barf. SO called her that growing up and she is not giving it up. She gets mad if he doesn't call her that it is painted on her door to her bedroom!!!

She got into a little spat with me because she insisted that SO had her in his phone as "baby girl" and I said no it is under your name. She pouted and moaned about it LOL I just laughed }:) }:) }:)

I know grown women from intact homes who call their father "daddy." For them, it's normal. Just because it isn't normal to you (or to me) doesn't mean it's wrong.

Try to let this one go.

We all called our dad daddy too.

We did and somtimes do still call our father "daddy", its a southern thing with us. We dont even think about it. SD calls her father dad and daddy, goes back and forth. I dont care. Its just what they use. I call my 17 yo son baby boy sometimes, but not often. I see where it may sound weird to others, but its not meant that way between any of us, and its not to annoy anyone else. DH will call SD baby girl sometimes, but I have caught myself using that too, even on our puppy. They are just terms of endearment, more than anyhing else.

My dd15 called my dh daddy the other day. I thought it was super sweet. But then again maybe that's because she hasnt done it in years, which she herself commented on.

IDK-I have "pet" names for all my kids. Just some different versions of their names, and some nicknames that truthfully others might think are strange, but it is just meaningful in our family.

I too would let this go. I'm not going to say I wouldnt gag if my ss14 started calling my dh daddy all the time, but gee, he'd have to speak to him in general first. Dh did used to ss "buddy" frequently. I thought that was gagworthy as well. But I admit it's just because I dont like the kid.

This is funny because I came from an intact family and I always called my dad “Daddy”. He passed away 3 years ago and even now when I refer to him, I still say “Daddy.” But I have a SD too and that whiny “Daaaaaaaaaaaaddy” is the most annoying thing EVER!!! So I totally know how you feel, but I think it’s the babying that is annoying you more than the actual word! You have my sympathy though. Being a SM to a SD truly sucks!

Must be a Southern thing! I am 42 and still call my father "Daddy". My mother is Momma and that is consistent with my older and younger sisters/

I come from an intact famil - my parents just celebrated their 50th Anniversary and I cannot imagine callimg my Daddy anything else.

That being said....my FDH does have one pet name for his daughter that is just plain stupid. I hate it but I keep my mouth shut because I have a stupid pet name for my kids and I dont want to be a hypocrite.

I am guilty... I call my Dad Daddy. I am 34 years old. That is just his name. My parents divorced when I was 13. I never thought about whether or not it bothered my XStepmom. It wasn't a thought that crossed my mind, it is just what his name is....

And he calls me "baby". I am his baby... I am the youngest of 4 girls.

DH still calls SD14 "babygirl" and she calls him "daddddyyyyyyyy". It sickens me because she still tries to be his mini wife.

At one point he called her "love" and tried to do the same with me. I nixed that right quick. I said "pick a pet name for her and one for me but do NOT interchange them". He didn't think it was a big deal but I told him when you use a term of endearment, it should be exclusive to that person and mean a specific thing to that person.

So now I'm "love" and she's still "babygirl" and although I just wish he would call her by her name, I silently say to myself "this isn't worth a fight"...

Oh and I'm 40 and still call my dad "daddy" but I don't do it in a sing-song, drawn out, spoiled brat kind of way like SD14 does. It's simply "Hi Daddy" or "I love you Daddy". She is all "daddddyyyyyyyyyyyy" and it's fucking annoying. Mom is either "mom" or "momma" to me.

My daughter, 14, is my #1 girl, but I generally just call her by her name. She calls her dad "dad" and me "mom".

my mil still calls her dad daddy and she's 62! my dh calls his youngest (who is 11) bubby. this is the nick-name given to him when dh was still with ex wife and they ALL called him that (his bro too). my hackles raise every time he calls him that because it's a constant reminder that i'm the SECOND wife. haha! but, he's doing it less and less now, and is just petty jealousy on my part aggravated by babying. i think you may be having a similar problem. maybe if your dh started working with her on doing things for herself, it will be better. it sure has helped with me, but still a work in progress. still have to work on dh cutting "bubby's" meat! this kid does NOTHING for himself at home with bm, and dh was enabling him. he just learned to tie his shoes last year! but i had to point out to dh that MOST kids know how to tie their shoes in kindergarten, at age 11 should be cutting their own meat, getting their own drinks and snacks, etc... dh was waiting on him hand and foot! i speak up most of the time now, "he's old enough to wash himself honey". i think it's getting through to dh all this babying is putting bubby behind his peers.

If I am 100 years old my 74 year old son will still be my baby boy, what is that saying..."as long as I'm living my baby you'll be"??

I know Daddy and baby girl are Southern expressions. Many friends of mine use those terms. Maybe someone in their family is from the south. Meh, to each their own. Not really a hill to die on. 

My mom (in her 60s) still refers to her father as Daddy and called him Daddy until the day he died. My grandmother (80s) refers to her father as Daddy and also called him Daddy until he died.  In some families that's normal and no one thinks twice about it. DH is from the deep south, and there's lots of "daddying" and "baby girling" going on where he's from. I'm sure he'll still be calling the skids baby girl when they're teens.  It doesn't bother me - maybe because they don't act like babies and are not babied.

It may be a southern thing.  My 75yo mom and 72yo aunt refer to my Grandfather by "Daddy".  A very good friend of mine from the south who is in his mid 60s refers to his father as "Daddy".

This may not be an issue.
