about DH calling breastfeeding "titty"?

[ShadowFall]

DS2 (5 months) is breastfed.

When I talk about it to DS1/2, I call it milk, i.e.

"Would DS2 like some milk" or "DS2 is having his milk"

DH, on the other hand, insists on calling it titty. His usual response to me asking him to call it milk is to say "DS2 is having milk from the titty".

I am getting more and more annoyed about DH's refusal to stop calling it titty.

For starters, I call it milk because that's what DS2 is actually drinking, but more importantly, I really don't want DS1 to get it into his head that it's fine to use the term "titty" for DS2 breastfeeding. DS1 is only 2.5yrs old, and I don't want to be in the sitution where I'm trying to breastfeed DS2 discreetly in public, and have DS1 yelling "TITTY!" at the top of his voice.

DH thinks that I'm being ridiculously oversensitive about this. AIBU?

MrsReiver my aunt is 92 and calls my kids dummy a tit. She screams the word loudly in public and it makes me cringe!

But at least she is 92, OP's husband has no excuse!

I think saying you hate it should be enough.
Does he usually disrespect your wishes?
Does he have an issue with you breastfeeding and your breasts not just being for sex?
Does he usually belittle you?

BTW if you started it yourself or you thought it was hilarious then I'd have no problem with it-I wouldn't like it, but entirely up to you.
I have a big big problem with you saying you hate it and him still doing it-immature prat.

He doesn't sound mature enough to be reproducing.

Firstly, using juvenile language to refer to your breasts makes him sound like Beavis and Butthead . Secondly, you've asked him to stop referring to your body in this way but he continues to do it - not really showing you a huge amount of respect is he ? Would he be happy if you started referring to his teeny-weeny-winkie and started discussing it in public ?

BF or not, I think he's being rude and disrespectful of you and your body.
I wouldn't feel like that if he called your breasts titties, you made it clear that you disliked it and he then stopped.
But you've told him you don't like it, and he kept on. Ignoring your request.

It's the sort of thing that makes me want to pay back in kind
'I call daddy's penis a winkle because it's sooooo tiny.' Which would be childish, but amuse me.

Yanbu. I agree with those who say it makes him sound about 12.

Xpost Inertia.

Ugh, what a disrespectful creep.

Grim. YANBU

YANBU
he is being a knob
sounds like he thinks its funny, or enjoys putting you down in some way.
if he does not think its that much of a big deal he should have no problem it not using the term 'titty'

stick to your guns and tell him he needs to stop using that term now

FIL insisted on calling DD's soother a dummy tit. He has NPD though.

he's acting like an arse

Yuck

I like the tiny penis suggestion. Every time he goes to the loo say he is going for a tiny penis.
He does sound about 12

He may think it's funny. DH's sense of humour can be very juvenile at times.

He has no issue with me breastfeeding though - apart from this one point, he's been very supportive of me breastfeeding.

But I'm glad to see that the majority of posters think IANBU, because I really was starting to wonder!

Every time he does it shout cock and look at his crotch

It's easy to stop this. You simply have to ask him not to do it. A respectful, adult man will of course respect your wishes.
He is a respectful, adult man, I assume?

I've had a longstanding joke with DH that if he acts like a tit, I'll henna the word on his forehead when he's asleep. Much easier to read when looking at yourself in mirror instead of twat

But if he's insistent on using a word that you object to and has a client facing job, then you should use ICanTuck's advice.

I would be starting to lose attraction if I had a husband or partner who said this. Blech

Your dh is a twat, or a 16 yr old boy.

how vulgar!

YANBU.

It's called milk in this house too. Surely it's obvious it's inappropriate to use that term, you don't want your other son parroting it.

Besides the fact that you don't like it, which is reason enough.

YANBU and he shouldn't be teaching a sexualised word for women's breasts to a child ffs.

Wouuld he like it if you taught ds1 that penis was dick or cock?
Pathetic

Tit is a horrendous "The Sun" type crude word, I hate it.

Not a word of a lie if he said it again I'd pack his bag for him until he stopped.

Tell him to grow up. Actually, scrub that, neither of my teens have ever called breast feeding 'titty' - just tell him to shut up and stop being so rude.

I dont like titty, certainly wouldn't like my 2 year old saying it. We do call it boob sometimes though.

Think we are being a bit unfair to teenage boys though, I have one and he wouldnt dream of calling it titty nor would any of my friends teenagers
