Hubby, grandbaby?

Hubby, soul mate Yeuk
Other half... I am a full person in my own right thank you.

oh hun makes me cringe, be it on Facebook posts, texts , emails etc, I never use it

I confess to having said hubby.
A friend always types 'hun' in texts, It feels wrong to type the same in reply but I don't know what else to put.

I don't like them, either, though some I do now use, such as play date, as it is quite a handy term.
Hubby makes me cringe! I'd give my dh a long, hard stare if he ever called me 'wifey'.

My mum would never allow the term 'kids' to be used as 'kids are baby goats'. I admit I do refer to my grown-up children as kids as in 'which of the kids will be here for lunch?' Calling them children when they've their own families seems a bit odd!

I hate it when you ask someone how they are and they say they're 'Good'. Do they mean well-behaved?

Holibobs ?

Hun.
Bless.
Dude.

Those all grate on me as well along with "the wife" nobody ever says "the husband"

I think grandbaby, sleepover and playdates are words that are use more in USA and have migrated to this side to the atlantic - I don't like these terms either. However, "hubby" is a term I've heard for a long time though I don't use, maybe more common in some places.

Suppose you were 60 years old and had owned a fur baby for 10 years ?

Just not my style, and although I do sometimes refer to my children as “the kids” somehow “grandkids” sticks in my throat!

I cringe when anyone refers to their child as a little prince or princess.

And whence came sleepover? They're staying the night.

Babe, little man, princess, snuck (whatever that means) hubster, I could go on and on.

Oh no I can't stand any of those. Also "playdates"

Ghastly, I agree! I find both equally cringeworthy.
And much as I love Hattie, I am not overfond of “fur babies”either!

I cannot stand "fur babies" - they are pets!!!
