Hmmm, "Daddy"... A NOKOP kin term where I'm from. Just an aside: my parents, especially my mother, used to associate this term with upper-class "American" (read: white) folks, not us. As young kids, we were quickly reprimanded if we addressed our parents as "mommy" and "daddy". So we grew up calling them "Mom/Dad" or "Ma(ma)/Old Man" ;).

It wasn't because you were 33, it was because you were the leader. In times of crisis, people look to leaders. Had you not been there, one of the fellow students probably would have risen to the occasion. As in the other posts, I think you place too much emphasis on chronological age.

My co-director (for those of you at PCC, it was Claudia Barner) described herself as becoming "like Mom" during those first few days after Rocky's accident. But we tend to use familial vocabulary because it is, obviously, familiar. DJW, I use the word “daddy” here because that’s how the whole experience made me feel.

One thing I've been thinking a lot about this general topic from different and more abstract angles, and this helps clarify (as well as complicate) various aspects of my thinking. When time allows in a few weeks, I should have a 3-4 part series on children, paternalism, and autonomy-based liberalism at LGM, which I hope you have time to read and possibly comment on. I'm tempted to object to the word "Daddy," as what you (correctly) think you probably should have provided in the way of autonomy-reducing (or, if you prefer, autonomy-redirecting) leadership needn't be burdened by the gendered status of Mommies and Daddies. Unfortunately, and perhaps tellingly, I don't think there's a particularly good word for what I'm looking for (chaperone doesn't seem quite right). Very nice post.
