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???

I'm biting my lip as I write this, but I've got balls so I'll go ahead and admit it:

I called my ex 'cuddybunny' and i call my bf 'baba'

I call the dog 'puppup' and the cat (whose name is 'Soutis') is 'doodie'

My SIL calls her DS2 'buddybear'

I know a lovely lady called Princess shes nothing like Jorden tbh

Meh. I can't say YANBU for finding it nauseating, because people find all kinds of things nauseating. I find it a bit odd to have such a violent reaction though. Perhaps you're a sensitive flower, OP.

I don't have a dd, but I'm sure I'd call her "princess" here and there. ds gets called "tiger" among other things. I'd end that with a "poor sod" but it doesn't seem to bother him. I have a feeling I called him "little man" when he was small too.

Parp

I meant I'm sure I'd call her "princess" here and there if I had a dd

My DD is princess - I couldnt give even the tiniest of shits what other people think.

As for other celebrities revealing their children are Autistic (such as Paul Scholes and Melanie Sykes), maybe they didnt feel the need to broadcast it to the whole world before?

I find the use of the word chavvy nauseating.

Fook OP, your easily nauseated. I couldn't give a gold-plated shite, what other people call their kids. Although i'd prefer to hear Princess/Prince as an alternative to you little bastard/fucker.

Yabu.

"Uber chavvy" FFS

Oh lord yes, MrsDeVere. It's vile. The term says a great deal about the person using it though, so it can be useful

Sneezecakes, you have some dire opinions. But you'll no doubt be quick to remind us that you're "entitled to them".

X-post MrsD. .

Anyone who uses the term chavvy is a bit thick

Just off to put my princess in her pink outfit so she can play with her pink toy laptop....not!

Speaking as someone who calls their DS a name from In The Night Garden, I really can't comment .

Except to say that I would also much rather hear "princess" or "poppet" than "ger ere now yer shit". Who wouldn't?

Actually, thinking about it - I find it more vomit-inducing to hear people calling their DCs "darling" in place of a real name than "princess".

Raises my hand too-so do I

...and I couldnt give a flying fook what anyone else calls their child really...although 'little man' tends to grate a tad.

I prefer to see people beating their kids.

boomerwang my DH is also baba and he calls me the same (amongst other pet names).

My dd went to nursery in a "Disney" Princess satin ballgown.

Quick, call Social Services.I have obviously damaged the child for life....not!

DD is having a princess and pirates birthday party - her tiara came today and she thinks its the best thing since sliced bread

So there!

My DD is going through a "princess" phase atm. I'm as far from pink and girly as you can get but she's loving dresses, bags, jewellery and sparkly things right now. So I've been calling her "princess" from time to time, along with other pet names I use. I don't see the harm in it. I wouldn't foist pink and fluffy on her just because she's a girl, but if that's what she likes, then .

I think I know what you mean, OP, about the automatic "princessification" of little girls, the "Daddy's little princess" T-shirts and similar, or the assumption that all girls' toys must be pink. But if parents' pet names for their DCs are a part of that, it's only a small part. So YABU, sorry.

YANBU I think some people get away with it, but those with princessy kids to match do revolt me. Little horrors of the future! I got my parents to take back a 'princess' tshirt they bought dd.

I really despise the 'princess on board' signs for the car!

I've never called DD princess or my DS prince...but I don't have a problem with it, and don't see why it should nauseate you? It's not like they're calling you a princess.

It's better than "sweet pea" or "love"...so annoying.

Our DD is called different words that rhyme with her name and DS at the moment is called "Baby Man". DD named him that!
