Dad or Grandpa?
-
in our family it has always meant grandpa but i think it's super cute when used for dad.
-
Grandpa. It's what our kids call FIL.
-
DH is papa. But I'm used to it for both generations.
-
It's what we use for dad.
-
That's what my FIL is called by his grandkids
-
Hurmm. No one uses papa in our family, but I'd think dad.
-
LO calls my dad papa. So Grandpa.
-
It's what I call one of my grandfathers.
-
@chopsuey119: I saw an I love my Papa shirt at Old Navy!
-
It's what we call my grandpa
-
Grandpa
-
It means grandpa in my family but also makes me think of a dad is some old timey European village. Or something Shirley Temple might call her father in one of her old movies...
-
It's what my son calls his dad. Papa or papi.
-
Papa means nothing. We use Pop Pop or Granddaddy for the grandparents.
To me Papa sounds more like what a dad would be called though. Both DH and I use or used daddy or dad to refer to our fathers.
-
it means grandpa to me (that's what i called mine), but to DH it means Dad (that's how you say it in French)
-
Papa is my maternal grandfather. I think it's super cute for dad too, but DH isn't into that
-
I call my dad Papa or Pops. I never knew either of my grandfathers. Husband called one grandfather Pupa and the other Grandpa. His father is Dad.
-
Potato.
(in Spanish)
or dad (although grandpa works too) I always called mine grandpa and grandpop and my dad, dad. Whatever works for each family
-
I lean more towards it meaning Dad.
-
For me it is my FIL. That's what DH grew up calling his dad. So that's what I call him now.
-
Nothing. My Dad is Dad and my Grandpa was Grandpa.
-
Lo calls my dad Papa ...so grandfather
-
I've always been used to dad, daddy, grandpa and granddaddy. DH's kids call him papa. It is still a little weird to me.
-
DS calls his daddy papa. DH is French and that is what most French children call their dads.
-
Papa is grandpa to me (goes with Nana), but Pa I associate with father.
-
Grandpa!
-
Dad! It's what Chloe calls her dad!
-
Papi is swiss german for dad, so I was against using that for my husband, but my son ultimatly chose and calls him Papia. I am Mamia.
-
It means dad to me but we don't use it. My BIL is papa to his kids though.
-
Grandpa.
-
My BIL goes by Papa instead of Dad. For our LO, it means Grandpa.
-
I had always thought it to mean dad (I've started calling DH that since we're expecting) but I don't know if LO will call him that. Now that I think of it with this post, I think it's cute for grampa too.
ETA: I still called my dad "dad" though. And my sisters kids call him pappy so we'll just continue that.
-
To me it means grandpa. It's the only name I ever call him.
-
I call my father Papa. He'll be Opa to my kids.
-
Grandpa
-
I never used "Papa" but since I grew up in Quebec where french children use "mama" and "papa" to refer to their parents, Papa sounds much more like Father than Grandfather to me.
I was thinking though of having my future children call my step father "papa".
-
We sometimes use papa to mean dad, but mostly with our same sex couple friends where there is already a daddy... The other dad is papa.
-
That's what she will call her grandpas (and what our nieces do too!)
-
I live in a bilingual (French and English) community so Papa means Dad.
