I struggled with what to call my father as a child. When I hit 12 I felt weird calling my dad "daddy" and or dad. It got to the point where I wouldn't even call him anything when addressing him. I would just start talkin to him. Or I'll stand in front of him and say ummm (followed by whatever) in my teens I I started calling him pops . & now I just call him by his nick name that everbody else call him lol.
i cringe when I hear my male cousins around my age call their father daddy . Idk why it just so weird to me.
