He has completely stopped calling me daddy, dad etc. for a couple of days now. Kids are so weird, funny and unpredictable.

He’ll be calling you by your first name before he hits double digits.

He’s asserting his dominance. Challenge him to a game of knee hockey or a race or something and crush him.

The first time I said that to my father was the only time he ever struck me.

Waiting on my daughter to just say DaDa but if she switched to this at some point I don’t think I could be too upset

Sounds like a little Eddie Haskel blossoming.

Is there an older brother or friend around?

He must have overheard Jody last time he was over when he was talking to your wife.

Check his computer. He's probably trading crypto.

I think the consensus amongst child development experts is for you to hold the kid down and just lay on top of him until he acknowledges your dominance.

That would be awesome.

I've always called my dad "Pops."
