BABY NAME CALLING

Hey mama’s this is random, but I’ve come across videos and random posts of mothers calling their kids names such as “bitch,little rat,bollox” etc , is this normal or is it just me that finds this really weird and disrespectful?

No, this should never be normalised and is very disrespectful indeed. The only nickname I have given my LO is milk demon lol

Not Normal At All

Absolutely not ok, I would call her out on it. Hostility like that around or towards your child hinders development and can impair their brains.

@Kourtney it’s shocking !

I have a really bad habit of calling my baby a crack head 😅 never in a nasty way it’s just because she’s crazy sometimes but definitely will stop before she is old enough to understand 🙈 I would never call her a derogatory name

It’s horrible. I called one out and she doubled down that the babies couldn’t understand. All for views and likes 🤧

Defo not normal … as I was reading this I thought you were guna say ‘baby, princess, pumpkin’

Loool I deffo call mine fat boy, chunk, lil bastard, little shit, naughty boy 🤣

I hate this it upsets me

@Elena how awful 🥺

@Jo 😂 why is that awful?

Absolutely not normal or ideal. The only one I call bitch is my female dog because she is, well a bitch (female dog) 😂

@Elena can I ask why

@Anabella everyone around me does it, never thought nothing of it 🤷🏻‍♀️ my parents said it to me, they say it to my child, all my friends say it to their kids, my cousin says it to his kids.. it’s a joke? If he’s being a little shit I will say you’re being a little shit today..

Never would I use any words like that around my kid or anyone else's so no definitely not normal 🙃

@Lauren neither would I and I can’t imagine why anyone would tbh - they’re just babies 🥺

@Elena yeah tbf thinking about it I do call my girl a grumpy little shit bag sometimes 🙈 it’s not so much calling her it I just ask her “are you being a grumpy little shit bag?” 😅 My family are quite big ‘swearers’ though so it’s just not a big thing to me. I think it’s completely different to calling your child a derogatory name in an aggressive or unloving way and some names are obviously off limits

@Elena ouch don’t wanna b judgmental but I couldn’t xx

@Lauryn yeah see you’ve completely understood what I mean unlike others. I don’t scream at him you’re a cunt or anything Jesus. I swear a lot but I’m not swearing at him saying fuck off or anything. I’m joking around like thank for being a little shit last night or ooo your a grumpy bastard today 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Anabella okay that’s good on you, I swear a lot it’s part of my vocabulary it’s just the way I talk and he will learn that as he grows up 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Elena yep I fully get you. As she grows I will be a bit more careful with the words I use around her and will never swear AT her but otherwise it’s not a big deal in my eyes

@Elena fair enough just thought I would ask why, hence why I said not being judgemental we are all entitled to raise our kids how we wish at the end of the day.

@Anabella yep exaclty it’s all each to their own x

@Lauryn don’t think being called such names @ an age that they don’t understand the meaning of it it’s such a nice pleasant thing , but each to their own I guess. It’s interesting to see how so many mamas raise their kids different xx

That’s mad

@Elena horrendous behaviour

I mean....I call mine bacon bit but that's about it lol

@Elena I call my son chunky monkey sometimes. I actually asked him what his middle name was when I was doings some school with him and he goes “it’s chunky monkey!” Lmao had me laughing. I’ve never meant it in a negative way and we dont use the nickname as much anymore now that’s he’s older. It was his nickname as a baby though.

That's horrible T.T

That is horrible. I never understood that.

i’ve called my daughter playful names like turd, crotch goblin, turkey… shit like that like but these just seem hateful

@Hayley oh no what a shame, good job I don’t care what other people think 🙃

The only thing my baby gets is fatter babies, stinky, poopy if she has a regular poop and shitty baby if its a blow out😭😭

@Anabella there is a big difference between saying it in a happy way - the same way as I would call her a beautiful girl to then calling her it in a mean aggressive manner or out of frustration which I would never do. I usually call her grumpet if she is being super grumpy and I’m frustrated.

lol I call my son a butthole but that’s it. And it’s more funny than anything so when he’s being a menace I’ll be like “get over here you little butthole”

@Lauryn 🤧 fair enough!

Those names are too far for me. Any 'names' I would use are descriptors more than anything. If my son is making trouble then I'm calling him a trouble maker. If I'm holding a child and able to let go because they're gripping me that hard I may call them a little koala. I don't want my kids to be mean to others so why would I be mean to them.

@Elena I call mine a dingus (both of them 9 years and 2 months lol), which is not a cuss word but honestly not the nicest thing lol. I dont think Ive used anything like little shit but my mom used to call all of us little shits growing up, she still does, and will refer to her grandkids that way 🤷‍♀️ granted... her and i have a strained relationship. I will say i dont think you are wrong at all..You aren't being aggressive with the how you use those names, its a joke and endearing and people are just overly sensitive and overreact. anyone calling their children bitches, etc. tho, that's just not good parenting

I’m shocked at how some people speak to their children 😢 no wonder there are kids that bully, and show hostility and disrespect to other kids and adults if their own parents call them such nasty things.

There’s no reason to ever call your children such weirdly nasty names and disguise it as a nickname. Nicknames for kids are meant to be funny and cute. I call my girl chunky bum etc Saying your child has been a lil shit or asshole or whatever to a grown up is one thing, but not TO the kids themselves. Calling them a bitch is UNACCEPTABLE in any situation

@Elena clearly 🤢

@Hayley 🥱

@Elena your poor kid

@Hayley have you finished now or you wanna carry on some more? My kids living his best life, warm house all new clothes a mum who does everything with him and for him, smiles 24/7 and never cries.. it’s called a joke. I’m not shouting at him calling him a cunt I’m saying in a joking voice you naughtylittle shit when he’s kept me up all night..

@Liv that's so true, I hear all the time parents are usually their kids first bully. Sadly

@dehilia that’s so sad 😞

@dehilia are you implying that I am bullying my baby because I occasionally call her a little shit bag? 😂

Ok let’s put an end to this , I was just wondering , obviously different mothers think different let’s all just agree to disagree and focus on our babies ♥️♥️♥️

@Lauryn were such bullies our poor babies!

@Elena such a terrible mum 😭😂😂
