[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad, who died of Covid a year and a half ago, called me kiddo all my life. I’d call him and he’d a see with such love and excitement - “hey, kiddo”! I call my teen son kiddo now, because I can feel my dad with us when I do. But different people have different associations. The word “littles” for kids is like nails on a chalkboard to me. That’s my problem, though. Call the people you love whatever makes you happy.[/quote] I'm sorry OP. A good guy friend of mine used to call me kiddo when we were younger. Never bothered me and I always thought of it as a an affectionate, familial gesture, almost as if he was my big brother. That's the kind of friendship we have so it made sense. Now we're both married with kids and he's taken to calling my kids “kiddo." They think of him as an uncle. I'm not sure why people find it so offensive.[/quote]
