The word "daddy" has been so sexualized to the point to where if I have kids (highly unlikely scenario, since I use Arch Linux), I'll just have them call me "father".

hot take: kids should just use their parents first names
11 3 Replyto me it feels like keeping distance instead of having a good relationship, only second to "sir".
11 1 ReplyWell good luck teaching your baby your actual name if your name is hard to pronounce.
7 0 Replymy siblings do this. it mainly worked/adapted to this because:
- our parents gall each other with the first name
- it was annoiying for them to differentiate our 5 different voices to all the other childs at the playground or parades and other public events where a bunch of kids where present
Edit: and i like the system more because i was very annoyed that i had to call other parents: {friends} mom, can i have a drink? because never heard their name. Thatvwas already infurating during kindergarden times
5 0 ReplyI grew up like this, using my parents first names. I started using mom/dad as a place denominator after they divorced, though.
I'm at dads is easier than using the first name, as that could mean other people's places, too.
So it's useful in a family that's united, and everybody gets it, but it's ironically harder to maintain after a separation. At least in my experience.

Months later... "your parents named you after a spider, haha"

They are spiders? What animal are you referring to?
Is it not
8 0 ReplyCould also be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opiliones?useskin=vector which aren't spiders but still are arachnids and have 8 legs, or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_fly?useskin=vector which are not arachnids at all, but insects and have 6 legs. All 3 different groups are called daddy longlegs.
