What do you think of this term of endearment

[muppetinma]

I would have never thought of cream pie in a sexual way when referring to the baby. I also wouldn't have given my child a nick name with "fatty" in it, so there's that.

[katfco]

Not even going to google it; I don't want to know. But even if describing a dessert, it's a weird term to call your kid.

Both friends are kind of weird, one for calling her daughter that and the other for making that connection.

I can actually see it both ways. I also don't like to refer to my kid as a fatty.

Well the "fatty" part aside because that wasn't the issue our friend had, it was the other part. I have honestly never heard of that term and can't see that popping into peoples heads when looking at the picture... it never popped into my head!

What? No I would never think someone was using cream pie as a sexual reference in this case. Really?
I don't really like when people call their babies fat but that's just me. I don't judge it really, just rubs me the wrong way. Someone I know calls their baby "fat fat" and I hate when she uses it

[devonpow]

I would never have thought of that in a sexual way. That's weird.

I don't think calling a baby fatty is such a big deal...of course we call Elliot "Smelly-it" all the time.

[Deleted]

I would never think sexual reference of cream pie anyway but I'm not hip

[jnoellee]

Well she isn't going to call her baby "fatty" anything as a toddler or child. It's along the lines of chunky munky/monkey in the way she is saying it

[orriskitten]

I could see the connection, but my mind wouldn't go there.

Aren't hashtags used to search a term? I imagine searching it would bring up some stuff you wouldn't want your baby's picture with...

[sunshineluv]

Way to make a silly nick name gross and dirty. People are weird.

We call Annabelle nicknames about her chubbiness all the time, as a term of endearment. Obviously when she is 12 we won't call her chunky monkey anymore but for now I am not too worried about giving her a complex.

[jnoellee]

I've called Rose my sweet chunk many times. I can't help it


But this is about the sexual term after the "fatty" part. I just thought it was beyond ridiculous!

But am curious if that is what came to mind when reading it??

No, not for me. I think of the cream pie my mom likes, or banana cream pie. Or oatmeal cream pie.

I should've waited til I had more time to comment.

Their friend who commented is an idiot. I wouldn't think of it in a child's pic or in context to a child. As a nickname to someone else it would have made me think twice about it though. Maybe because I knew of the phrase.

Yeah, me not knowing the phrase added to my confusion. Google cleared it up quickly :/ gross

[thedahliharpa]

I'm making a "wtf" face.

[AndyCohen]

I guess if I was familiar with the term it might be something that would pop in my head if I saw it in a hashtag. I don't think she's seeing the baby as sexual, just that its a slang term she's familiar with.

I said this, too, but the way our friend was acting about it was like it was very obvious and my friend was stupid or weird for writing it. I called her because they both ended up texting me. I told her some people would just think of actual pies, and she was convinced otherwise.

I guess I see it like she probably didn't realize it's not common knowledge. Kind of like how a young person would use slang and just assume that the meaning is common knowledge and an older person would have no clue.

[jnoellee]

So far it seems as though no one would make that connection while looking at the cute baby. So, that is good. Even if people knew what the term meant I expected most minds wouldn't go there. Other friend is weird.

Yeah, this was the case here. Well it's cleared up now!

The fattie part makes my eyebrows hit the ceiling a bit- I don't like that term regardless of who it's used towards, though, because of my own body image hangups (ftr, chunky monkey or chubby bunny or fluffy butt or any variation embracing baby rolls does not bother me, I'm only sensitive to the term "fat")- as far as the cream pie thing, I have heard of it with a sexual connotation, but would NEVER associate that meaning with a baby photo. My mind goes right to a banana cream pie or some other sweet dessert. The friend who made that association is weird.

[fusion]

I would never think of that as something sexual with a child (or at all), and if that person had a concern that should have been mentioned IN PRIVATE and not publicly. Makes me nauseous.

This is exactly what I told her too. Like if you were genuinely concerned that she didn't know the potential meaning and were worried what others would think, then kindly let her know privately! She was mean about it and my friend felt so uncomfortable. She did apologize to her and took her comment down. It was very awkward though. Friend said her mouth fell on the floor when she read it and she didn't think much about her comment or how it could come off mean. But any time I tried to tell her most people would think of actual pies from the store, she just couldnt see it that way. Most ridiculous convo I've ever had.

[alicia45]

I'd never make that connection.

I'm side eyeing the mom who calls her kid "fatty" though. I think that's terrible. I'm sure it's my own hang up to the word "fat".

[ktstorm]

I would never make the sexual connection, and am off-put by the use of fatty. Probably because of my own hang ups, and I call E a chubster, but fatty gets under my skin.

[dojo]

Maybe I'm a perv, but the term "cream pie" in the porno sense was the first thing that came to my mind. I wouldn't side eye someone for saying it in a non-porno sense, but I would giggle internally because I'm a 12 year old boy on the inside.

[steph196]

I wouldn't think of that term being sexual, but I don't like that she used that as a nickname for her baby. There will be enough self-esteem issues down the road, so why start them now? I don't ever talk about Sydney's belly (even though I think it's adorable), because I don't want that to be something that she hears repeatedly and is self-conscious about.
