Oh man you guys must hate me! Apparently I use “littles” and “toddler” inappropriately. My “not toddler little” preschool age human also runs around screaming “I want big boobies! Big boobies!” Eek. I’ve ruined breast feeding for everyone

Yuck, anyone who talks about how much their kid likes to suck their boobs, in any verbiage, gets the friend boot...


I am very much pro-breastfeeding and free the nipple and all that, but this bothers me too.

Your kid is hungry. Your kid is eating food. Stop trying to shock value “normalize breastfeeding” with this verbiage.


+1

Using euphemisms to refer to your anatomy stigmatizes breastfeeding rather than normalizing it. It makes it sound like you think there's something shameful about the word "breast."


+2. I am very pro breastfeeding and did nurse both kids exclusively for 1.5 years - support public nursing - but loathe “...gave her the boob” or “boob addict”.

I agree so hard with most of these. Littles and boymom are the worst! I've also grown to hate "mama bear."

Ouch! DH insisted that he be “Papa” instead of Dad/Daddy. I told him it was milenial yuppie but he insisted.

Everyone has their own way of doing this, but if you tell me about your “parenting philosophy,” you’re probably not my kind of person.

I hate when parents call their babies/kids a-holes.

And I’m not one who thinks my kids are perfect, I do a lot of venting, but I never once think to call them that.

It’s usually the “cool” moms who do this though, so I’m sure I’m alienating myself right now!

"Boymom" for SURE. It's like a blinking red "AVOID" sign

Good, because I cannot understand why you don't know that some kids are just miniature a$$ho@les destined to grow into bigger ones. You can tell when they're young, and it often does not improve.

Calling any kid over two a toddler. That "boymom" nonsense (and I have two boys). Chalking every single difference between kids up to gender.

Yes, I judge people too quickly and I am undoubtedly a b*tch but I hear a mother call her baby “little piggy” and I won’t start a friendship.


I have never heard this but can not fathom why this bothers you.


You must not be American. In America, calling someone a “pig” is the worst animal name you could call them. Calling a baby a pig is disgusting.

And I agree with OP and all the other “b*tches”.
