but I hate the term "baby daddy"

I couldn't tell you why, but it's like nails on a chalk board, it just hurts my eyes.

Anyone else have terms they dislike?

I'm not a big fan of baby daddy either, but I really hate sperm donor.

Mrs.Keith2B · March 2011

I hate that term too. The only people I've heard use it IRL are uneducated and ignorant. Flame away, but that's been my experience.

Same with baby mama. I say birth (or bio) mom/dad.

I don't like it either. I'm already a young mom, I don't need people thinking I'm young AND ignorant. I call him X, Drake's dad, or just my son's dad.

I agree. Maybe because of the movie? Call me judgemental but I make assumptions about how klassy someone is based upon their use of this term.

achase123 · March 2011

I hate the "term of endearment" when someone says "my old man" or "my old lady". I also make assumptions about how intelligent someone is based upon their usage of this. XH used to call me "his old lady" so maybe this has something to do with it?

Actually you have a very popular opinion. My ex is my children's biological father. He has no interaction with them.

Daddy is an action verb you actually have to do something.

kmartinez80 · March 2011

Whenever I hear Baby Daddy or Baby Mama I immediately judge and think the person must be trashy. I have yet to be proven wrong in my judgement.

katie_cj · March 2011

I call my exFI, Jacob's father.

keychain01 · March 2011

I use......E's father or "my exFi" or his name...most people know who I am talking about when I say his name, and the rest of the time I don't talk about him, so there is no need for any other names.

All of this. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yeah, I hate this term, but I use it in a pinch with people because saying "my sister's baby's father, who wants to be more but my sister is too dumb to date/marry." is just too damn long in some social situations. It saves so many unwanted questions like "How long have they been dating?" and "How long were they dating before she got pregnant?" If I just say my sister's baby's biological dad people still ask way too many damn nosy questions like that. Hopefully when the kid is born people will just be satisfied with baby's father, because I always have to say "my sister's baby's daddy" through my teeth, it is so grating.

I dislike it the most when mother's refer to their own children's fathers in such terms. Or when the men refer themselves in such terms. It makes me think of Trailer Park Boys.

Yep, like nails on a chalkboard.
I also can't stand Douchebag.

I cringe at Homewrecking Skankwhore, personally.

Yah, ITA. It seems over the top. Four insults in one name is a bit much.

But if she earned that title... Such as sleeping with him in OUR bed while me and XH were still married, it kind of gives me a bit of pleasure. ^_^

That along with insulting her horrible "fashion" choices.
