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.

My sister says "lully" instead of lovely and her and her DH call each other Mummy Pig and Daddy Pig.

I am desperately searching for evidence that she was adopted.

My little man

Ickle man is worse. Jesus that makes feel violent.

It is so hard Everlong isn't it? Not looking forward to Christmas this year.

It is.
As a very good mumsnetter friend says ' Christmas is another day ' try and keep that in mind. We always put a candle next to his photo on Christmas day. The first Christmas after he died we even had a bloody place for him at the table! We laugh about it now
Just do what you can to help you through xx

Thank you and love to you Ever

I find the endless anachronisms pretty bloody loathsome to be honest - horses for courses and all that.

I have a colleague wo is about as fluffy as it is humanly possible to get.

She calls me 'hunnybunny' - which makes me feel stabby.

She also insists in writing with pink gel pens.

However, fluffy talk to babies originated from music, when language was music. They learn pitch, tone and harmony first.

Those that want language to be literal are left-hemisphere dominant. Illusion, metaphor are vital for human expression.

And yes, alternative phrases for death, can be rich in meaning. Of our hopes and beliefs for something other, something beyond.

My SIL is so, so unbearably guilty of this. It makes me dry heave.

Also; preg, preggo, pregs. Aggghhh.

I talk fluffy to babies, because they are programmed to respond to that type of communication.

ach i dont mind it I dont use a lot of it I will punch you if you call me Babes or hun though

Ever your post is the most touching thing I have ever read on MN.

It also reflects exactly what I was trying to say. For me, when someone 'passes on' they are still with us but in another way that may not be tangible, but still very real. To me, your family setting a place for your son that first Christmas makes sense in its own personal way.

I think all the people who love me, and that I love, are with me always and never 'die'.

I use this kind of talk to my 15yo neice but I only do it to make her cringe and say "really" while doing this face ->

Agree with MaMaPo about the DC/D-everything thing. Dry heave inducing.

Feel very insensitive now, had only read first page.
