I'm 26 years old(I'm the youngest) and my mom still calls my dad 'daddy.'

I never found this weird until now.

When I refer to my wife with my daughter I say your mom, but when i'm talking to my wife I call her by her name.

Very seldom, my daughter will call me by my first name, but I just correct her.

My wife wanted us to start calling each other mom and dad to cut down on the confusion, but I couldn't make myself do it.

I think it's fine, and probably even good to use "mommy" or "daddy" when you are speaking directly to your kids, but when you're speaking in front of your kids, but not to them, you should probably use your real names.

I don't base this on any parenting experience, but once, in 1st grade, the teacher was asking our class about our parents as a part of some lesson and this poor ginger kid didn't know his parent's names, and we all gave him hell for it.

I was dad and mom, always. We knew my dad was in serious shite if she called him Gerry.
