It's a weird thing, dad or even pop at a stretch would be better. Does she call her mum, mummy? She does. All their friends do as well. Might be a Southern thing? We're all Mummy and Daddy. It's odd, its not like its an issue, i thought it would be. They go to an all girls school so that might effect it? I dunno, not really thought about it much to be fair. I still think they are being educated to rule the planet, the confidence is unbelieveable, and us Northerners are a by-line 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kent - they do the 'Kent Test' I don't agree with it but they passed so, our opinion was you get to choose your school - they decided on all girl's grammar. The youngest said, no way am i doing that - and she goes to a comp. but the comp is two years old - it'll only be a full school when she's in year 10. The comp is linked to the other grammar in the area, so the teachers swap and if you stream in set one in year 8 you learn with the grammar school. And we wonder why there is a postcode lottery.. If I lived in Bolton I'd be fucking livid, but then again, I wouldn't know. I didn't until I met thousands of idiots here but they believed they were brighter.

I used to love my (then) five year old daughter calling me daddy as much as I learned to love my later secondary school-aged daughter calling me dad. She still reverts, on occasion, to calling me daddy but that just means I have something she wants; usually money. General advice, if a girl-child over the age of, say, 11 calls you daddy it’ll be just about to cost you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they all call me Daddy and the middle.ome hates asking for money. She's also said she doesn't want kids, was a flat London by herself but to work abroad first. She's my banker to look after me in my dotage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you can understand their concerns, but surely this will simply embolden the bastards. "Great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies" seems reasonable now.

I don't always agree with his views (obviously did in this particular instance) but have to respect a man who is unafraid to put forward his opinion in these days of social media crucifixion.
