Is it ok for a father to call his young son "baby" or "honey"?

Answer 1

YES!!! YES!!! YES!! Just be glad that the father is there to call his son endearments.My son is going through the stage now as to why his father doesn't want anything to do with him.My husband is there for him when he breaks down in tears.My husband calls him baby sometimes and it makes my son feel good.If it makes the child happy let it go on.

Answer 2

It depends on how young the son is. My son is 16 months and I give him kisses and hugs all day. I also call him many names such as "baby" or "honey" etc. I think that when he gets older, it will not so much "baby or "honey" as it will be "bud", "buddy", "dude". I imagine I will still call him sweet names. If it makes him uncomfortable when he's older, I would respect that and only use those words when I feel appropiate. So I feel it is absolutely ok if the developed relationship between father and son is a loving one.

Answer 3

Humm. I'd say ok to call a male baby 'Baby' not sure about honey. Now if he's a bit older then a small baby, like 3 or so, baby is to harsh. Honey then would be fine I guess, something though more masculine would be better.

Answer 4

Even though I am well over 50 years old, I am my fathers baby.
Calling a young man "honey/baby" is far different than treating him that way.
