Am I the only one to be offended .

Kiora I mentioned that on another thread -overheard in Tesco Home, a young man saying 'you look dead sexy in that hat' and thinking he was speaking to his girlfriend. When they came round the corner he was speaking to a toddler (male) sitting in a trolley!

Dressing babies and toddlers in so called 'sexy' clothes is horrible. Are they bringing up young girls who will go for this type of cheap looking clothing? There are such gorgeous outfits for baby girls and toddlers and that's what they should look like. Babies and toddlers.

I agree about kiora's example. Stupid is the word I'd apply to calling a baby sexy.

Expletives and blasphemy are okay because they are meaningless speech padders. Shrug them off.

whoops

God! I've never heard that one Kiora! That's dreadful!

I agree with all of the above.
My DH is ex navy - he and four sons have colourful language, but are like choirboys in comparison.

Completely agree with you, Kiora. That's one that really bothers me, too.

I know it's a little 'off thread' but I don't like it when mums call their lovely babies sexy. Babies are not sexy. Their often gorgeous , scrummy, delectable almost anything but not sexy. I do think the use of language has changed over the last 15 years. So I'm just showing my age.

Mumsnet does go OTT most of the time IMO

I had a quick look at mumsnet the other day and I was a bit surprised at the language being used by some of the mums.
It seems, from popular culture in general, that expletives and blasphemy are A-OK ways to express yourself for many, these days.

Well, if they were gazing at baby Jesus in the crib it would be understandable ...

Seems a bit crass.
