YABU

I call DD "sausage". It's cos she reminded me of a sausage when she was a newborn, all pink and curled in a sausage shape as I cradled her in my arms. (A very beautiful sausage, mind!)

She's only 3, but I can imagine that I'll probably always call her by pet names, however old she gets.

She is also "picklepot" and "angel cake". It's amazing she knows her own name really .

Aw, it's sweet

I call DD alsorts of pet names like sausage, poppet, etc.

I use these pet names with the children in class (work in Y1) at times too.

I call dd2 Sausage or sausage pie, but she's only 5.

Dd1 was pumpkin or pumpkin pie, but I haven't called her that for a few years now.

aw, I think it's lovely that he calls you sausage

my dad is too gruff and dysfunctional to call me sausage!

MeAndMyMonkey · 26/11/2009 16:29

Aw, my grandfather called me 'choochie face' (i think from Chitty chitty bang bang)which I still rather like. Might reinstate for dd.

pagwatch · 26/11/2009 16:33

My mum used to call me Floribunda Rosebud. I put up with it through teenage years and 20s until it died out when I was in 30s. You can imagine the agony when bringing friends home etc.

When DD was about 5 my mum called her Floribunda just once. DD turned on her heels and said "what did you call me Grandma?" with a face like and mum never called her it again.

I wish I was grown up and assertive like my DD [sigh]

schroeder · 26/11/2009 16:39

I wish my Grandad was still here to call me 'boy' and ask me 'what's the diarrhoea?'

My name is not Frances or any variant thereof. Miss him like crazy- will be dead 20 years on the 30th.

LOVING this tootles action

Bro has actually asked for a t-shirt for xmas this year - I am sorely tempted to buy the one mmelindt has so kindly designed...

HollyGoHeavily · 26/11/2009 20:49

Do it!

You could get a matching babygro for your DC with "Tootles, the imposter" or "Tootles Junior"
