[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I occasionally call my eldest, now almost 14, kiddo. It’s just one of the nicknames I use for her. I never use it with other kids including my own. I’ve never thought it was a bothersome term. I agree it sounds less offensive than littles, which I only have used when referring to my younger 2 kids as a unit to differentiate them from the other.

It’s fine to say “hey, kiddo” to one of your kids in real life, but to write it out in a post?  NO [/quote]

Agreed. This is also specifically why I find "little" more annoying, though. Because while I can see calling your kid "kiddo" sometimes as a term of affection, no one says to their kid "Hey, little, how was school?" It's purely a term moms use to describe their kids to other people, and it's SO twee and affected.

Also the older the child is, the more annoying it is. Calling your 2-year old your little? Annoying but not that bad. They are literally little. Calling your 5 yr old "little"? SHUT UP.[/quote]
