To be nauseated by parents calling their children 'princes' and 'princesses'?

[sneezecakesmum]

Excuse me if its been done to death....probably has as its a puke inducing term and I can't be the only revolted individual???

It's cringey, that's true, but I guess the words encapsulate how much they hold their child dear to them. I'd rather hear a father refer to his daughter as a princess than 'shut that fucker up'

Better than the delightful father I've just seen in Asda who (in genuinley affectionate tones) called his DD (approx 2) a 'little bitch'

it's better than bastard or shithead.

i know what i'd rather hear.

Better than a mum I knew from kids school who used to refer to her (5 yr old) daughter as a "sexy bitch"

There is a middle way!!!

It's hideous.

An ex-friend of mine actually had a go at me for not calling DD princess. Her DD is constantly called Princess, and oh boy, does she behave like one!

Apparently by not calling DD Princess, I have irreparably damaged her self esteem. Poor child.

That is freaking weird. WTF.

I don't like it either, agree it is better than other words but no I don't like it at all.

It doesn't bother me , I called mine all sorts of weird and wonderful names when they were little.

Chez Feckless we call everyone thingy irrespective of race, creed or colour ...

Its the height of chavism and Soooo Jordanish.

Actually I like jordan and think she is a fab mother, its all the boobs and botox that irritate me.

Or Poppet ( said in a slow menacing way accompanied by evil grin ) as we all watch far too many pirate films ...

DS is "The Boy"....Prince is pukey (and makes me think of the artist fomerly known as)

Every one is squidge or thing in my house. The only princess is DP

My two DCs are munchkins. My mum called me munchkin when i was little. actually she still does I'm just carrying on the tradition

I don't like prince/princess. Don't know why though.

There was a little girl in sainsburys with her mum today whose name was actually Princess. A la Katie Price/Jordan. I had a little snigger behind my hand and hoped the mum didn't notice.

Jordan is a fab mother - really?!

I call DD princess sometimes. I never thought I would but it just comes out of my mouth occasionally. Not sure I'd ever have called a son Prince though.

Any reasonable name used in an individual and endearing way to LOs is acceptable (mine was betsycoo) but this army of mock royalty is beyond me.

Nauseated? Really?

I couldn't care less what other people refer to their kids as....why would I?

Jordan fights tooth and nail for her disabled son harvey, so in that respect I admire her immensely for not hiding him away and being ashamed of him.

I prefer to use nauseatingly unique "family" nicknames so that only mine turns around.

Princess is too normal.

Oh its fine.
Its people being affectionate.
wtf is wrong with that?

Why would you be so upset that you felt sick?

Much weirdness if you ask me.

My son is The Boy too.

I hate Sweetie as much as Princess.

I call my dd princess occasionally and she likes it. dont see why you should be nauseated by it rally.

*really even.
