[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an adult, and my even-more-adult father calls me kiddo. I think it’s incredibly sweet.

Feel free to ban it from your vernacular, but I love it. [/quote]

"Kiddo" as a form of address is miles apart from "kiddos" as a general noun. If you like it when someone you're close to calls you "kiddo," please enjoy

I had an older coworker who called anyone younger than he was "kiddo," and I hated it. But we both knew he was doing it to assert his position of authority.

I have no idea why grown women use it to refer to children. It's cutesy. Gag.[/quote]

Agree it's different. Calling your own child kiddo is a different thing than referencing your kids, or kids generally, as kiddos (or littles).

Like I call my kid "sweetheart" sometimes and I don't care if what other people think of that one way or another. But what if I walked around calling all children, collectively, "sweethearts"? Or if I described my kid to you as "my sweetheart"? It would be weird AF and you'd judge me. Well that's how other people feel why you use kiddo in the same way.[/quote]
