Sometimes he will whisper my name in my ear because it is special for him to use my first name. At all other times I am sweetheart, when talking about me to the kids I am Mommy, or Mom, and he does use my name when talking about me to other people. But between the two of us, he doesn't usually use my name.<BR/>I don't do shortenings of my kids' names because I named our oldest son a name that can be shortened to a name I don't like much, so he has always been the full version of the name, and we kept that rule for everyone else. I do use other nicknames though, like Bubba, The Bug and etc.Heffalumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166154112206680302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869613013276327471.post-53681225877251677842009-01-09T09:47:00.000-06:002009-01-09T09:47:00.000-06:00I never in a million years ever thought I would EV...I never in a million years ever thought I would EVER call my husband by a nickname. Funny because I came from a nickname-happy family. But he did not. His mom is like your mom that way. And he just does not lend himself to nicknames. Until we had kids. And I stopped caring if he was annoyed. And now he LOVES being called shuggabug and whatnot. You know the pattern - abhor, tolerate, embrace. You should try it with J. It really enriches a relationship. ;) <BR/><BR/>My annoyance?
