My Dad calls my DD 'the brat'

[lollipopmother]

DD has just turned five months, PFB.

My Dad has called her 'the brat' pretty much since the beginning, she had awful colic in the evenings and used to scream the house down for about three hours a night. She's grown out of it now and is fine, she is a baby though and babies do cry occasionally!

Anyway, even when she is being perfectly angelic he calls her 'the brat'. It makes me actually boil inside. Just thinking about it winds me right up.

AIBU to think that this is not right, or am I just being PFB?

I'd never heard the term buggerlugs until this thread, and then last night my brother-in-law said it! How very strange!!

hardly a charming term of endearment is it.does he know it upsets you.call him ole git

see if he likes that

Buggerlugs isn't a term I've used for the dses up to now - but that's all going to change, I tell you.
