To hate 'fluffy' speak?

[ItsNovemberFFS]

Stop referring to my DH as 'hubby'.
Stop referring to my DD as 'bubs'.

Side note: Learn to put apostrophes and commas in the right place.

I do that to mine too Tinuviel, great isn't it

I use bubs! For both my critter and OH.

Do dislike Hubby though. And baby talk. All the ickle wickle baby waby goo goo crap.

I guess it's the way it's said? I use bubs all the time and it sounds natural, but sounds weird when OH says it!

LOL. Don't ever listen to me, these things slip in and I am not a fluffy person at all, but both my children still get referred to as Baba, I use some of "their" words instead of the real words because I think they were cute, plus it means we all know what I am talking about (although me and DS frequently fall out over his pronunciation of butter), and I call my partners honey (fall back from my own mum), the children are honey pies (as is on of the guinea pigs) or sweet peas.

It's strange that people think it's so twee, my humour tends to be very dry, and I am not overly emotional in person, so I am really not what you would consider a Hun who loves her Hubby or anything. I do LOL though. People seem to hate that too. So I keep doing it. I think I like to be difficult on purpose sometimes.

they used to say that baby talk belongs in the nursery - I think even babies don't do it now.

right with you, up there with females that scream at small rodents or insects. No wonder it was so hard to get the vote.

baby voices. God save me from baby voices.

Actually, God save them from me cos I'm about one fake five year old cutsie/whiney voice away from snapping

I mean who thinks the little baby voice is cute?

I want to slap them till their face falls off.

I'm guilty of a few of these, even the much hated 'Hun' passes my lips fairly regularly. Tbh I didn't ever really notice it until joining MN and discovering the tide of hatred I'd been oblivious too for years Still say it though

Hate bubba/bubs and hubby though. Oh and 'bockle', 'ickle', and most nicknames people use for dummies 'dumdum'/'mimi' etc

cogito I love her too, "I could absolutely scoffulate a puddington" has become a regular saying in our house, sometimes forget people probably have no idea we are being 'ironic' :)

It makes me ill to hear this sort of thing although I do call my cat tickly bear

Buppy instead of butter grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

god yes echt I have a friend in Australia and her FB page is peppered with all that shite. She joins in too but is not like that at all in RL.

and I hate 'only 18 more sleeps til Blackpool' type os shite. You are not 3, in fact I wouldn't even expect my 3 yo to put up with such nonsense

I'm not a remotely fluffy person, but I am at home with my husband. Bizarre. Mostly I'm just sensible and straightforward.

I do talk proper professional baby talk at my cat though - I can make her purr with just a couple of nonsensical, sweetly-pronounced words - she blinks at me, purrs and flops. I'm pregnant and desperately hope I won't do this with our baby, as it can't be good to talk in gibberish long term if they're trying to figure out how to talk, so must try to be a bit more restrained...

"Luffly"
"Luffs"
Eugh.

Self proclaimed 'yummy mummys' who write(on Facebook) things like "omg lolz hun!!!!!!! Thats totes amazeballs Mummy P"

I like these people a little bit less every time I read something like the above

Yes I give the cats the full baby boo chat but am not the type to ever talk like that to another human

I use a wrap sling, i don't babywear - he's a person not a handbag.

Just because i prefer reusable nappies, i am not a Fluffy Mama or, worse, Sexy Mama. My pg French friend will be a Mama, i am a Mummy.

These are my breasts. They are the main source of nourishment for my son for the foreseeable future. This is what they were designed for, please don't wince when i refer to them - sexual gratification is their secondary, not primary, function - or use twee euphemistic terms of endearment.

I totally agree with 'battle against cancer' and 'lost the fight to cancer'. I hate it. My mum has terminal cancer and when she dies I will hit anyone who says that she 'lost the fight'!! Maybe I should pre-warn people

YANBU. If I might contribute "Fankoo" from a grown woman...

Nah, I've been hanging round the wrong places while pg trying to prepare

I ran a restaurant in my 20s one night a couple were giving their order and when I did drinks he turned to her ad said reddy or whitey
