I’m just trying to understand why married women with children say “my baby daddy”….
Because I don’t think many people understand the meaning of this word and think it’s “cool/fun” to reference themselves or their husband/wife as this.

I personally only call my Husband “baby daddy” to his face as a joke cuz we know he is way more than just my baby daddy. It’s part of our “banter” as a couple bt it’s not a title I “actually” use.
Bt to be fair, I was told that “baby daddy” means “the father of my child(ren)” so married women can also use that term cuz the Husband is the father to the kids. So that’s explanation made me understand why

I am confused sometimes when people say their BD. I initially assume they mean the child's father they aren't with but then you go on to read and it's the boy friend or husband

It’s used as a joke

Well he’s my baby’s father not just my husband so it depends on the topic

some people use it as a joke (not a problem). But many use the word incorrectly…that’s kind of where I was going with this.

If someone uses this as a joke, that’s cool: but I would assume the individual would want to understand the meaning of a word they’re going to use, right?

lol I wonder why ppl jus don’t say “childs father” it jus sounds more respectable than “baby daddy”
Even when unmarried women have children with their boyfriends, I usually like to encourage them to use the terms “partner” instead of just calling them “boyfriend” cuz that just sounds a lot more meaningful

if you’re married…then he’s not your baby daddy if you were using the word correctly.

But I get it. People find this to be a “cute” name to give to their husband(baby daddy) or wife (baby mama).

I mean baby daddy is just that to me. My child’s father, but a different form.

but you said you’re married….

Baby daddy is the father of one or more of a woman's children, especially one who is not her husband or current partner.

We do it to eachother as a joke alone sometimes.. but I don't think we would do it in public.

Idk why married women do. I personally don’t like the term. I just say “my kids dad” lol

As a joke between us or ill say it to my friends like “why my bd tell me no today so we not friends” but to a complete stranger who doesn’t kno im married i wouldn’t say that too

I say it about/to my current partner as a term of endearment/joke because we were TTC and we’re finally expecting. I wouldn’t call him that to someone else aside from like my best friends, again as a joke though, if that tracks.

My actual “baby daddy”/bald headed ass ex husband I actually don’t acknowledge that way and refer to it as “we have kids-in-law.” Idk him like that 😅🤣 that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

yes. This is correctly used. But many people (especially married women) love to say “that’s my baby daddy” as they’re literally married.

And I’ll be the one to say it…but a lot of white women do this and think it’s cute and hip

I say it as a joke to my husband now and then and he calls me his baby mama sometimes. We get its not the technically correct term but it pisses off my dad so win win lol

girl there is a whole group on this app. dedicated to “baby daddies” and the drama lol. I know that not all babies are going to be born into wedlock so even if I had a baby daddy, I honestly wouldn’t be proud of it. And I wouldn’t be walking around as if being a baby mama is some sort of badge of honor. I completely understand how some ppl don’t like that term and how triggering it can be especially if u grew up around it

so when i initially joined this app. I assumed the “baby daddy drama” group was for women who are not together with the men they had kids with bt I’ve discovered it’s for any woman with a baby daddy, so wives also go there to ask or vent abt their Husbands.
