Does your father call you "son"?

[Ryan]

Every e-mail my dad writes, or when he calls - he doens't use my name, just "Son" 😕

That just seems odd to me...anyone think so too?

 

[Heisenberg]

Yes, it's completely weird that your father calls you son.

 

[biostud]

he calls me everything but my real name.

 

[jadinolf]

Sanford and Son is my father's favorite TV show so he calls me dummy. 😀

It jsut seems really impersonal to me - like when we're talking, instead of saying "Hey Ryan...", he'll say "Hey Son....".

That doens't sound really impersonal to you guys?

 

[Rainsford]

Nope...although I've had a number of OTHER male adults call me "son" before. I think one of these times I'm going to have to use the "I'm not your fvcking son" line 😀

 

[upsciLLion]

Mine calls me son or Charlie Brown. 😕

My biological parents have only referred to me as their son when they were in legal environments or have needed to verify it.

My adopted parents, while I'm no actual relation to them, refer to me as son quite a bit. Most of the time, Dad does it when he's trying to get me to do something for him. 😛 "Son, go outside and mow the yard for me..." vs "Hey Andrew, dinner's ready!"

My dad will sometimes say my name and sometimes use son.

I think having my own father call me "son" would be more personal than him calling me the same thing that everyone else calls me.

No actually, using your name sounds more impersonal to me.

 

[ironcrotch]

Wellllll................................you ARE his son aren't you?!?

 

[sisq0kidd]

Only cops call me son. And ocassionally some random old white men 😛

 

[gar3555]

funny...you think its bad that he calls you son...but you've only referred to him as dad...not his name...wow...the irony

 

[BooGiMaN]

so what do you call him?

 

[Platypus]

no, he has a nickname for me that he uses.

 

[Baked]

Maybe he should call you something else.

 

[MDE]

You never know, he may be using it as a term of endearment rather than something to try to alienate you or put himself above you.

 

[kermalou]

first name, but i dont call him dad always either, sometimes it Mr. XXXX

No, it sounds like he's proud that you're his son.

 

[Supermercado]

I don't think my dad has ever called me "son." Always by my name.

 

[Bryophyte]

No, can't say that my dad has ever referred to me as "son". 😛

They have surgery now that can fix that if you really want him to call you son. 😛

 

[Mill]

Wouldn't know he's dead, and my step-father always just calls me Evan.
