I think DH will just be dad or daddy - my FIL is "Papa" to the other grandkids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72415 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:13:13 +0000 banana 72415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He calls him appah now and my DH likes that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72410 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:07:59 +0000 heffalump 72410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still call my dad "Daddy." LO will probably do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72228 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:08:24 +0000 MH.Abroad 72228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babi. Sounds like Bobby. They'll most likely use the Albanian words for both of us, and call his parents "Mama" and "Papa", like he calls them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72219 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:59:00 +0000 Andrea 72219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now it is Daddy but it will be Dad when she is older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72217 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:57:56 +0000 chopsuey 72217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: DH isn't very koreanized, but he REALLY wants lo to call him appa. It's odd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72215 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:56:54 +0000 tequiero21 72215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i call my dad daddy, dad or appa. i don't think my hubby will care. but i think dad is just fine. i think appa sounds weird since we're not really koreanized. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72207 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:53:19 +0000 mediagirl 72207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Daddy or Dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72206 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:52:29 +0000 chopsuey 72206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO calls DH appa! :)<br /> I call my dad appa or DAD!! when he does something I'm not happy with. :D<br /> My dad loves to call himself "Daddy" though. Back in the day when random guys used to call the house my dad would say "THIS IS SUSAN'S DADDY! WHO IS THIS?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72205 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:52:12 +0000 prettylizy 72205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure, but I think they sort of pick what they want to call you. I'd guess probably daddy or papa when younger, then dad as they get to cool to use daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spinoff-what-will-your-lo-call-her-father#post-72196 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 10:47:16 +0000 Rubies 72196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hubs wants LO to call him "daddy" but I think it would be cute if she called him "baba" ('dad' in Cantonese).</p> <p>I call my dad "ahba" (dad in Korean) and never used English terminology when addressing him.</p> <p>What do you call your dad? What will LO call her father? </p>
