Not in a million years.  I can't even stand it when other people tell me my baby is chunky.

Uh NO!  I wouldn't even call DH that in a joking manner.  To me, that's not funny.

I would pull someone's hair out if someone called my child a fatass. I'd be all over them like a spider monkey.

That mother is a peach, if I recall correctly..she wanted to skip one of her weekly appts. during her last few weeks of pregnancy.

But it's just a joke PG! Lighten up!

(And no one better every call my DD a fatas* or they'll have someone up theirs.)

Only if the kid is definitely a fatass.   

 

Way overreaction.

Oh my God, really?

1.  The kid doesn't remember it.  This won't put him in therapy in 20 years.

2.  It's not like she's saying it as an actual insult.  She's proud of his growth, I'm sure.

3.  I call DD fatty sometimes when I'm picking her up.  Call CPS.

Seriously... BFD. 

I expect better flame-fodder from you, PG.  Tsk tsk tsk.  *brushes one pointer finger with the other*

I'm a little late to this, but one of our fave nicknames for DD is Maddie Fat Pants.  It's b/c of her cloth diapers.  We sometimes shorten it to just Fat Pants.  We joke that we can't call her that forever, but it's a name we use with love now.  Maybe it's not a big deal to us since she's been below average on weight all of her life.  Her diaper butt really is big in some pants.

And I agree with this. SO not a big deal. While DD is a skinny-mini I'm sure I've made similar disparages against her in jest.

I see fatass as an insult. Chunky butt, fluffy butt, whatever.

Poor choice of words on her part.

To me, there is a difference between refering your child to a fatass on a message board and actually calling your child a fatass to their face. THAT'S what I would never do; when I responded, I didn't realize there was a post that prompted the question. But I think lovingly referring to an infant as fat (or a variation thereof) is NBD. Would I personally have chosen fatass as my term of endearment, no. But then I do call my son "butt" so perhaps I'm not the right judge of this.
