Answer 5

Never!  I will never get sick or think it's weird for my dad to call me sweet names!  I call everyone sweet names too!

Answer 6

My Dad called me 'Little Girl' up until the day he died...and I was in my fourties when he passed.....hehe he called my sister 'Noodles' because she cooked a lot of pasta......

.....it doesn't matter how old she is...that's your kid.

Answer 7

There is no age at which it's uncool.  She is your honey forever.

Answer 8

Never.  It is always cool to call your daughter honey.

Answer 9

My children are all grown, my oldest is 50 this yr.  I w/ALWAYS call my children honey.  We are a very close knit loving family, & it just comes out naturally...:)

Answer 10

I'd say never.  Maybe there is a point, when she is in high school when you don't say it in public (when you drop her off at school or in the mall or something), but at home or if her friends are around it shouldn't be a problem.  I'm sure she'd let you know if it is.

Answer 11

She will let you know, but the deal is that you may always call her honey.

Just because she asks you not to doesn't mean you have to stop.  It does mean that you need to understand that she views the pet name as a part of being a baby and she doesn't want you to consider her a baby any longer.

Rest.  Breathe.  Wait.

One day, not in the too distant future, she will think that 'honey' is the sweetest moniker in the world.

It is always cool to call your daughter honey, but it is not always cool for her.  

Respect her wishes and hold off until she is ready.  Silence speaks volumes.  In other words, one day it will dawn on her that you don't call her honey anymore and on that day she will crave to hear that endearing term come from your mouth.

You are doing fine.  So is she.

Answer 12

It's cool to call your daughter honey all her life.

When she says it's embarrassing .  My Dad called me " little honey" all my life ,and it never bothered me .  But as you probably know each Daughter is different, and she will no doubt tell you if it bugs her . Something like Daaa aaaad ..

Answer 17

Answer 18

My grandma still calls my mom honey. My mom is 45. It doesn't seem weird to me at all.

Answer 19

It really depends on the daughter's personality and environment. I'ts ok to call her a honey, but not in front of her friends.

There is no limit on dads calling thie children honey.

It is nice to hear of a father calling his daughter honey, rather than ***** or any other number of un-pleasantries.

sorry.

my sister is growing up too.

Answer 24

I am 19 and my dad hasn't ever stopped.. I like it. He really loves me and pet names like that show it. I guess sometimes a pret-teen or teenage may get embarassed if called a pet name in public, so maybe watch that.

Answer 25

I never reached that age, but most girls in their early teens go through a phase where parents simply existing annoys them, and everything embarrasses them.

Answer 26

Never

Answer 27

NEVER, I mean yes she will become a teenager and be embarrassed by everything her parents say and do lol. But when you  guys or hanging out, its never uncool. It lets her know that you love her and she hasn't done anything bad lately. =]

Answer 28

Never!

Girls actually don't mind. Well, usually. Some don't like it around friends but most girls i know actually never mind that they are called honey by their dad. =]

Answer 29

I think it all depends on your relationship. If as a pre-teen/teenager (when we women morf into strange creatures LOL) she dislikes you calling her that, stop.  Repect her wishes and refrain from it.  If you two are close & it doesn't bother her, dont worry about it.

Answer 30

No I don't believe that at all. You can always call her that, if you are asking about your own daughter.

I think it's normal for children to get bothered or seemingly annoyed when they are called that, but really, it does show them that you do love and care for them.

Don't stop calling her that- at any age.

It's not about  being "cool". It's about being a decent parent.

Answer 31

I'm 23 and my parents still call me that.  It doesn't bother me a bit.  They call me it in front of my husband and friends.  No big deal, it's just a word.
