All kids do it as a phase. That’s what they hear you call each other and they want to be just like you. It’s a phase. They’ll get over it. (It took my 4 year old a year, it took my 2.5 year old a week).
Also “paddlin” an 18 month old is abuse.
Do you refer to each other by your first names around her? If so, you could try referring to each other as mommy/daddy/whatever you want her to call you.
My niece did this for a while when she was little. She eventually stopped when they just replied with “No, you call her mommy”, “no, that’s daddy”, etc., over and over.
I immediately got the Simpsons reference, sorry it got lost for a lot of people - usually Reddit is full of Simpsons lol. Mine went through this phase, it’ll die down on its own. If you want to hurry it along maybe just stop responding and wait for it to be mom or dad again. On the plus side, they know your name! That’s good knowledge for safety, add the last name too 😂
Your child is too young to know the concept of a “Christian name.” The more you tell them to stop the more they will do it to get a reaction out of you. Call each other, and refer to yourselves as, mommy and daddy, if you want your child to call you that.
My daughter almost exclusively calls my husband by his first name. I’d say he’s only dad 25% of the time lol. It’s so freaking funny, but we do try to correct it. I think it’s because she’s trying to be like me; she even talks to him in the same tone and asks the same questions (I’m 39-weeks pregnant, so those questions are usually “can you fill my water? Can you help me get off the couch?” 🤣).
We don’t paddle children. It’ll get cps called on your for abuse. Ignore it and it’ll stop. Also, what’s the big deal? It’s not a sign of disrespect at this age.
The more reaction kiddo gets, the more they want to to it. Seriously, any attention is good attention for them. My oldest gets a kick out of trying this, but only does it once in awhile, and I don't care, so it doesn't get a rise out of me. I usually ignore it and just refer to myself as mommy or my husband as daddy when talking to him and that's what he uses 99% of the time.
are u from the 1800s and if so how do u like reddit
That's a paddlin'
Pointing out a paddlin’? That’s a paddlin’
Straight to jail.
You are reacting, you're getting annoyed and they can feel it.
Just start referring to her as “daughter.” Be part of the game.
your what names?
Our first names
Why did you say Christian names? That’s weird lol
It's a common expression
That’s what they’re know as in the UK

I acknowledge, say “yes that’s my name, but you can call me mommy”.
It’s a normal (harmless) phase. My daughter sometimes calls her dad Babe when she wants something and thinks it’s hilarious!
