What do your kids call you?
 
Prompted by Flint's post. Papa sounds old-world to me, but I'm guessing it's regional.

My girls call me "Dad" or sometimes "Daddyyyyyyyyyy", if they want something.

Cloud 06-14-2010 11:03 AM

Mom and Mama. And the little ones call me Grammy.

monster 06-14-2010 11:11 AM

I dunno, I'll have to listen more carefully. I prefer they use my first name, but they don't that often, unless they want my attention in a crowd.

classicman 06-14-2010 11:18 AM

dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad......

Pie 06-14-2010 01:16 PM

"Meow"

lookout123 06-14-2010 02:01 PM

Dad, Pops, or coach. actually, 2.0 has taken to calling me George. we don't know anyone named george so it is kind of funny.

Sundae 06-14-2010 02:04 PM

I call my Mum by her first name if I'm trying to get her attention in a crowd.
I know it cuts across the noise more effectively, and won't have half the women in earshot turning round.

I call my Dad "Dads" when I'm in a good mood with him.

"My" children call me Mrs Olney.

lumberjim 06-14-2010 02:08 PM

Mommy and Daddy

Spencer will use Jimbo when he's mocking

Clodfobble 06-14-2010 02:11 PM

Mommy and Daddy. Sometimes he uses "Mom" when he's scripting from a TV show that says that instead. The stepkids use my first name.

I still call both of my parents Mommy and Daddy.

It's not regional, we're being archaic/ethnic on purpose.

Pooka (half Brasilian) speaks several languages, and I always liked how Feivel Mousekewitz called his father "Papa."

skysidhe 06-14-2010 07:58 PM

Archaic is cool. I think papa is cute.
( edit, The word papa rather )

classicman 06-14-2010 08:31 PM

Feival!!!! great movie!
gives flint the lazzzzzzzzzzzzzy eye!

squirell nutkin 06-14-2010 10:03 PM

Dad, Daddy from my son and Dadda (not Da-da) or Farto from my daughter.

Everyone and everything is Farto lately.

Trilby 06-15-2010 07:06 AM

Son number one calls me "mumma"

Son the second calls me "mom"

Spexxvet 06-15-2010 08:32 AM

Stormieweather 06-15-2010 12:12 PM

D14 calls me evil or mean.
D5 calls me mommy.

kerosene 06-15-2010 07:00 PM

Step kids call me Mama and him Dad. My son calls me Mama and him Pops.

squirell nutkin 06-16-2010 11:45 AM

RFN:
Me: "Go put some pants on."
3 y.o. daughter: "K fawt." (Okay, Fart)

wtf?

monster 06-16-2010 07:58 PM

you reap what you sow, honey....

squirell nutkin 06-17-2010 09:54 AM

So, are you saying that my responding to their inquiries of "You know what?" with "Chicken butt, that's what. Ever seen one on a turkey?" may not have been my brightest parenting strategy?

jinx 06-17-2010 10:21 AM

She sounds like fun. Would get along with my 2yo nephew who like to ask mom out of the blue "You shit your pants?".

squirell nutkin 06-17-2010 12:33 PM

Yeah, She is a hoot. She has been farting a lot lately and will cackle with laughter afterwards and say "I stepped on a duck!"

TheMercenary 06-21-2010 02:24 PM

Just Dad and Mom for Mom.

Although my youngest (18yoD) will say Daddy when she wants something or money. :)

Sun_Sparkz 06-22-2010 07:30 AM
