Saw one mother post about their 'sexy little man'?
One year old doing a pose.
Personally I just think it's weird.
AIBU to think calling your child sexy is weird??

It’s gross and makes me want to gag

Really yuck. I also can't stand it when people refer to stuff as being 'sexy' in the workplace - like "that piece of work will be really sexy"Confused.

I find it a really embarrassing word for people to use out of context in any way.

Yanbu that’s repulsive.

YANBU.

Children are not sexy, nor are they supposed to be. They should be able to have an innocent childhood ffs.

"I think I'd be tempted to reply "Who do you think would find him sexy? " in a quiet, puzzled voice."

Since she's the one who used the word, surely you can only conclude it's MIL who finds him sexy, (YUK) so I would ask her "Why do you find him sexy, MIL?" or "What is sexy about him, MIL"?

"A guy I used to know ages ago use to get his toddler son to raise his fingers in a V symbol and lick between them. Yep."

That's one of the most shocking and disgusting things I've ever read. What a perverted thing to do. It's worrying to be reminded that people like that exist.

@CustardySergeant yep, it was awful. It was an ex-boyfriend's stepbrother or something like that; I wasn't in a position at the time to say anything against this. I just looked away and pretended to ignore how disgusting it was.
