Do you call your OH "dad"?

I call my husband 'dad' or 'pa' when referring to him to the dc or svc but I call him by his first name - he isn't my father!

Only very occasionally as a joke. It would be obvious to all that it is a joke.

Only call him Dad if speaking to the DDs. My husband always called my mother Grandma, once she became one.

Not in conversation with him. I'd be cross if he didn't use my name when he spoke to me. Sometimes we feel like we're parenting each other though!

No, way !
To me that is an old fashioned Northern thing.
Obviously I talk about "Your dad" to DC but it's X or darling when speaking to him. Or "grumpyguts" under my breath sometimes

I call him all sorts of things but not Dad, that is my Father. DH and DS, who is still at home, have the same name so even that is sometimes confusing. I do call him Grandad when he is forgetful or complaining! We are called whatever suits the situation.

Problem I find is how do you sign joint cards to SIL//DIL? Mum & Dad or name and name....or both?

That's cards to my children and their respective spouses. Too early yet!!

Well on a public forum and in difficult times I can't say what I occasionally call him under my breath but Dad, never.

Not even all the DC call him dad. For some reason DS used our first names from an early age, and this has been handed on to his DC. So we're now the full Nana Maggie and Grandad ---- to them, which seems somehow more formal.

I do call him Buggerlugs a lot. Also a Northern one, I think?!

Oh maggie you've brought a tear to my eye.
I've got a lovely photo of my Dad, in RAF uniform, sent to Mum during the war, before they were married.
It's inscribed 'Hello Buggerlugs xx'

I call him by his name! He sometimes calls me mam. When he does I always answer "I'm not your mother", to which he usually replies, " sorry Hilda".

My parents used to do it, so I agree it is a generational thing.

No. When referring to him to the kids I say, "yer dad".

Or, "yer father". Depends on what is being said.

When OH was in the Care Home he introduced me to everyone as his Mother , even told someone I had been at school in his Mums home village !! Now he is home he calls me mostly by my name , I sign cards to the children and their OHs by our names and Gran and Granda to the DGC

My sisters in law always called their father 'papa' instead of 'dad' in his later years. I thought it horribly patronising and I know that if ever I'd done the same to my own Dad he would have told me off in no uncertain terms.

To answer your question, no I'd never call DH 'Dad', I refer to him as such when speaking to my children.

No, like ninathenana I think it sounds very old fashioned and a northern saying. I normally call him by his name, occasionally Jockles as he is a Scot. If I am being honest several other things too if really cross. I refer to him as dad if talking to our daughters. One of my DDs, the one now safely with us, was called mum by the person who was married to her. Always sounded odd.

No. We all call each other by our first names or family nicknames. We know what the relationships are without needing nominal reminders.

We don't really call each other anything except when the DGC are with us then we say Granny or Grandad. DC (and subsequent partners) have called us by our given names ever since their teens when they thought it very daring to do so and I ignored it, thinking it was a passing fad. Well it hasn't passed. My late elder sister was appalled and reprimanded DS for daring to call his Dad by his name! (She was very prim and proper)

Mum used to call Dad ' Farve'

Certainly not! I hate that practice and find it really creepy. There is a big difference between reference and address too.

Never! [shudder], except when talking about him to the DDs. When talking about me to the DDs he always referred to me as 'Mummy' which I found quite sweet as after about 12 they called me Mum (or the 'old bat' ). My in-laws always referred to each other as Mother and Father [shudder again]

Crikey I'm in the minority then ! I call him Dad when referring to him to the kids . I call him Grampy when referring to him when speaking to the grand children and occasionally I continue to do so when it's just us .

We're neither of us precious about it . We sign joint cards to the kids as Mum and Dad but don't expect our sils to call us that but one does call us Ma and Pa .
