to cringe when parents call thier children.....................

[morethanyoubargainfor]

sexy, well am I? i was waiting at a bus stop today and heard a mother call her baby son "sexy", as in "come here sexy man". It suddenly occurred to me how much i hear this and how much it irritates me. It just doesn't seem right to refer to your child as sexy.

AIBU?

ugh ! no yanbu

My friend calls ds thius and it really annoys me I hate it.

Blah.

yukky, was it Victoria Beckham by any chance- don't suppose she uses the bus.

i say come here gorgeous. is that as bad

nappy - I say gorgeous too.....

wouldn't say sexy though

BIG difference between sexy and gorgeous

I say gorgeous but SEXY? Never heard it used on a child. Mind, never heard anyone call me it either

i have a feeling that "gimme a snog" is about as acceptable as sexy though. oops!

I call ds precious but would never ever call him sexy - yuck

EURGH.

DF (i know) called our dd sexy when she was in an incubator after being born at 32+2.

i lost my rag infront of everyone !

he's not said it since.

Never heard it tbh. But it's a weird thing to call your child

horrible.

I heard a mother telling her dd aged about 5 she looked sexy the other day, here in Belgium. The mother was speaking flemish but sexy is an international word. I cringed.

Sil used to say this to my ds, I thought I was the only one with a problem with it!

Smart, handsome, gorgeous, but never sexy.

Never heard it used in this way amongst my friends TBH. Would just be so inappropriate.

ARRRRRGGG! It's horrible.

I find it irritating enough when a friend calls me sexy, as in 'Hey sexy, do you fancy a coffee?' WTF?

people say it when they want to be ingratiating to Vanessa Feltz on the radio phone in - makes me grimace

yanbu

yuk

How bizarre.

Oh I really hate this, when dd1 was just learning to speak MIL got her to call Daddy 'sexy' we both put a stop to that right away!!! We were both so that she would think it was OK, she hasn't done it since though

My friend has said this about her dd before. Talking about her little bottom .
It is horrid.
