[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone who would be offended by that is probably offended by a significant percentage of their interactions with other people. That’s their issue to deal with. I wouldn’t give this another thought.[/quote] +1. We have definitely referred to ours as “the boy” and “the girl”.[/quote] We have Old Girl and New Girl[/quote] Old girl and New Girl are our dogs! I guess “the kid” could be considered sort of solipsistic to other parents, since it implies THE kid (the only kid/the only one that really matters). But I agree that people who worry about it probably get offended at lots of things. I’ve used “kiddo” about my kids and some people find it annoying, but my kids like it so whatever. [/quote]
