What should I do?

[mommyof4]

LOL actually I usually call her butt. Turd is usually my little neice, and when they are together you get the butt turd!

But seriously, she is 5, she is a turd! Very cute, and very sweet sometimes, but still a turd. Especially in the morning when she comes and starts jumping on me in bed.

That's not any more endearing.

LOL, I seriously hope you are not serious here. I can call my child butt (btw, butt comes from little butt... cuz she is tiny and has a little butt), or turd and she is not gonna be bothered by it. Now, I understand everyone all wants to be sensitive with their children, and that they are small and developing and you don't want to damage them emotionally. However, being too sensitive can also be dangerous. But anyway, I don't think we need to go into a long drawn out psychological debate.

Shhhh...We've moved on now, we're mixing the margaritas. Now where the heck did I put those limes. And did you guys want salt or not, on the rocks are frozen?

Yes, I am serious. I call my kids "monsters" It comes from "Wiggle Monster". I would NEVER call any child a butt or a turd (or butt turd). I can safely say that I am one of the LEAST sensitive parents on Earth. I don't get super involved in every aspect of their school lives. I don't tell them that that they are the most specialists kids to ever walk the planet. I don't get over involved in their friendships, etc.

Do what you want. Just know that it's a horrible nickname.

Can't you just call them 'rug' and 'rat'?

Well, I would, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Lots of salt. Oh, I happen to have Petron Silver if Cuervo isn't getting it for you.

 

[penelope10]

Hey I gotta suggestion. Why don't you call her Little Bit. Unlike in my case standing for Lil Bit of Sugar, yours can stand for little bit of (well you know ). (Just kidding all).

Now answer me I'm getting impatient. Plus my arm is starting to hurt from mixing with this shaker. Is on the rocks ok??

 

[Isis1]

on the rocks with a shot on the side!!!

TCool, I grew up hearing kids being called turds from both my folks' families. I don't know if it is a southern thing (both my parents are from the south) but like I said I've heard it all my life. It is never meant as a derogatory term, actually it is more of an affectionate term. Kind of like telling your kid they can be a pain, but you still love them anyway.

My dad who is a SUPER grandpa often calls my kids turds! It is said jokingly and my kids don't think it is anything but funny!

Same here. I JUST got off the phone with my Mom and she probably called me turd 3 times in one conversation. Maybe it IS a southern thing.

Of course, my nick growing up was Janiebutthead, so whaddo I know?

Doesn't CC call her son Stink?

 

[TCool]

Nah, not a southern thing. If someone thinks being called a turd is bad, they would be horrified to be around my family. We're not always exactly "nice" to each other, but it is all just joking around and kind of our way of showing our affection. For example, every time I've seen my sister recently I've called her a big fat smelly cow and I tell her to stop eating so much and to stop drinking so much beer. Some people think that is so bad and I'm gonna hurt my sisters feelings, but she just laughs and says "I'm pregnant, what's yer excuse?" I have called her fat a few times when she wasn't pregnant too, but that was more mocking how sickly skinny the woman is. Wearing size zero pants... she's on her third kid now she should be keeping some of that weight.

That is just how I was raised. I think it's good too, because back in high school while everyone was dramatizing everything over something someone said. I was sitting back laughing at the whole situation, even when the rumors were flying around about me. I still see plenty of "grown-ups" with that high school, get offended at everything said, mentality.

 

[Bloopy]

Let me see, I was Weenie, Pain, and Grocery Bag Yellow which my sister improved to Piss Yellow

My inlaws like Poot Tail for my daughter
B-I-L uses Ezeikiel, Elroy, Cleetus and Chiquita (Banana)

I've used Honey Bunches of Goats, Stinky, Puppy, Monkey

Hmm, Piss Yellow was from a sibling so Turd still wins.

 

[2Mistakes]

I call my kids fart knockers, and sometimes turd knockers.

 

[wileybunch]

I call my kids fart knockers

OK, I do, too, and have no idea where that comes from. Do you? LOL!

 

[jbowman]

I call my son Poo. ALL. THE. TIME. And Puppy and Peanut, sometimes Billy (his name is not even close to Billy). I was semi concerned with him having multiple personality disorder but never worried about his self-esteem. LOL

Butt is nothing. Some people are weird.

Oh and Honey Bunches of Goats is HYSTERICAL!!
