Ladies would you

[brockash]

Yes. To me, calling someone your baby momma or baby daddy, sounds like someone you'd rather not have to be involved with, but are because of the kid. It sounds kinda disrespectful to me.

ETA: I also agree with the pp that said it sounds very low class.

 

[vgrandy]

It is not a term that usually refers to a spouse. It was originally used to refer to a person one has a child with but not a relationship with (which is why so many think it is "low-class"). It is now being used to refer to girlfriends/boyfriends who share children. I've never heard it in reference to a spouse however.

Nah, I wouldn't be mad. People get mad at too many silly things these days.

Even on the thread that 'inspired' this poll, OP said he was joking because a lot of us knew he and his girlfriend aren't married.

I will once again say what I think when I read pretty much every thread here. "Lighten up Francis" Not everything is so serious and important all the time.

I'm not sure if I would be. My husband has referred to me as his "Sugar Mama" many times which does annoy me. He doesn't understand it because he thinks that saying that is actually more of an insult to him (since it says I'm supporting him). It still bothers me though. Just like it bothers me that he brags to others about how much I make. (mostly at work where he and his co-workers make much less).

However I feel like my finances and salary are more private. Obviously people will know if we have a kid so that doesn't really seem as bad. Well except for the fact that Baby Mama generally refers to someone you haven't married.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

No, but I am married to him, so he would not call me that.

 

[DisneyCher]

I generally think of people who use the term "baby momma" or "baby daddy" as Maury guests who are trying to determine paternity of some little illegitimate child. Since my husband and I were married for over eight years before I got pregnant, I wouldn't consider using the term appropriate for us.

What thread are you talking about? I can't find it.

 

[Andtototoo]

What thread are you talking about? I can't find it.

ides of march started a thread kvetching about how his "BM" doesn't have sex with him enough and how he bought her Victoria Secret lingerie for her to wear to have sex with him and it didn't prove inspirational to her, so he's going to leave her or get another girlfriend on the side for sex.

If my husband said it, it would be a joke, and it wouldn't bother me. We joke around a lot like that. But other people would consider it disrespectful within their own relationships and I would never tell them "it's no big deal, get over it."

I've always wanted to start referring to dh as my lover, like the Will Ferrel/Rachel Dratch SNL skits. Sadly I've never been able to pull it off with a straight face.

LOL!

I know right, like the people who don't like it when the people who don't like something say they don't like something and say they shouldn't get mad but are mad... but then they are mad so they should be mad at themselves for being mad at the thing they say people shouldn't get mad at

Thems just jokes

Where's the woozy smiley when you need it?

I guess some people are clueless as to what is appropriate to share.

Different people have different ideas about what is appropriate to share. Some people are more open than others. That's all.

I think it's one thing to be open about yourself, when you start giving out intimate details about another, without their knowledge or consent, you have crossed a line.

That's all.

That also depends, but if you are specifically talking about the baby-mama thread, I would tend to agree with you. Way way way TMI.

True, but it doesn't bother me when it's done anonymously.

I agree. That thread was gross. And incredibly disrespectful.

I voted livid.

 

[shortbun]

You know, I really wish we knew who this woman was so we could reveal to her the depth of his betrayal. She needs to protect herself from him. He's not a stable partner and he's about to put her child at risk just because of sex.

 

[shortbun]

was supposed to be a new thread.
