#2: Initial revision
@Liquid covers most of my answer. Sometimes you would refer to your father by his title or office, not to emphasize distance, but to emphasize that role of influence, especially if their blood relationship is known. If everybody knows Jake is the son of the CEO, then Jake saying "The CEO isn't going to like this," means Jake is _threatening_ the person with his relationship to the CEO. This would apply when the father is a Judge, the Chief of Police, a Congressman or Mayor or crime Boss or anybody with power. It would not apply if the father is a gig musician, an office clerk, a salesman or anybody else with no particular influence over anything.
