You should, just as me, check KGT again for this topic. As far as I
remember, this endearment is only used between the loved ones.
Compare it to the usage in english of adults, where it seems a bit
strange when someone would talk of his "daddy" or "mommy". Children
would do that, but I would say that may father visited me yesterday, not
my daddy - even if I would call him like that.
