Do you call your child "sausage"?

[Fragmentedbrain]

It's really annoying

No aibu I'm confident iabr

Ha ha my mum too!

Sausage and Poppet seems really old fashioned, not heard anyone use that since the 80's/90's

I call dd chicken. Or chicken nugget. No idea why. She is the most fearless reckless soul. It's definitely affectionate and not in "what? Are you too chicken?"way.

I think she looked like a ready to cook chicken as a new born.

Chickpea here. (Vegan).

Oh definitely, mine get called all sorts like silly goose, silly sausage, cheeky monkey, hooligans, sweetie, sweet pea, doughnut, minions, the list goes on…

Yep. Not sorry. Probably going to do it even more now.

No I call him buddy or wuggles sometimes Mr sillypants.

If he hurts himself I say ‘poor little sausage’ while cuddling and comforting him - he’s 6 so I reckon I can just about get away with that!

Only if they are being silly sausages.

DH started calling the kids "chicken". I found it so bizarre, and now it's bloody caught on and I keep calling them chicken 🐔

And now I'm bloody hungry, thanks OP 😤

So is mine!

I call mine butt hens. My then 4yo tried calling his 1yo brother a butt head but he got confused and called him a butt hen. It stuck.

Nope. Its PooHead.

shes 10

yes silly wee sausage in a rubbish Glaswegian accent

A poor imitation of his lovely Scottish Granny

pickle, sweatpea and pumpkin too

Yes, my children have all been Sausage, or Sausage-face.
I was thinking veggie sausage when I said it, though.

Mumsnet deemed it unkind as the bad kids were misusing it.

My adult children often laugh at the things I used to call them: always nice but basically whatever was in my line of vision at the time. So it might be "Good morning, my little shiny saucepan" or "Can you put the kettle on, Welly face?" I do still do it a bit to be honest.

I call my kids baby. No sausages here.

I used to, but really have no idea why 😂

Some of my friends used to call their son “little man”, that used to drive me nuts!!

I have an ex who used sausage interchangeably with any affectionate nickname. I did not like it.

I think I have never called my children sausage. But I do call them chickens, chicks, chickpeas (both boys and girls BTW) and sweetie and when they were little poppet and popsicle. Also sunshine, but in a positive sunshiney way rather than a gangster way.

Is it all random nick names you don't like or particularly sausage? I've never felt that sausage had any different emotion attached to it any more than duck, hen, love, honey etc. all do.

We sometimes have "a silly tattie" in our house, this is the Scottish vegetarian equivalent.

My dog is sausage and sometimes sausagedog, and tonnes of different nicknames 😂. He's about as far from a dachshund as you can get. I don't think I have a pet name for my daughter..! The only one I can think of is 'lovely' (as in "can you pass the salt, lovely?").

yep. I call ds sausage and dh calls him super sausage. but not in public anymore (is now a pre-teen at secondary school).

I used to call my son babycakes 😂. I call my little boy dog - my little prince.

Is this an attempt at a entry to Classics?

Where I'm from its very common for the older generation to refer to kids as "cock" as in "y'alright cock/cocker? My dc's didn't grow up there and were rather bemused at a family wedding recently to be called cock 🤣
