When should a character refer his dad or someone close in third impersonal person? Let's say you have a character and his dad is the President of the United States. In what situation is it appropriate for the character to refer to his dad as "the President"? What if the dad isn't a President, but a musician, or another lesser known/important profession? I am concerned about realistic interactions between people. I don't want my characters acting strangely in my novel, since the readers will notice.
