Our son does not want his daughter to call her grandpa "honey" Is this wrong?

I can see where your son is coming from. I hate it when people call me honey, and he probably doesn't want your granddaughter to learn it's okay to call (or be called) honey by strangers, as it seems very demeaning.

You're thinking it's not a big deal because you're looking at it from the side of calling your significant other honey, which is fine. But ultimately, he is the parent, and you should respect his wishes. You would be very upset if your parents or in laws ignored your wishes while you were raising your children!

I don't think "honey" is a bad word, but I would not wanted my children to call their grandfather or grandmother or anyone else "honey". Particularly in the case of grandparents, I wanted my children to call them something appropriate and respectful.

If my young child started calling a younger sibling, a pet, or her dolls "honey", that would be cute.

I don't think she'll think the word is a "bad word" if someone says something like, "We call you honey, because you're little; and you're our little 'sweety'. Little children don't call their Grammies and Grampies 'honey', though, because Grammies and Grampies are grown ups.

I don't think it's a huge, horrible, thing that she is (at least for now) calling him "honey", but I can understand why her parents want to teach her what is appropriate now, rather than wait, see if she stops on her own, and never learns what's appropriate.

If her parents tell some version of the above explanation, I think all her grandfather would have to do is kind of reinforce his title by referring to himself as "grampy" or "papa" or whatever when he talks to her. Chances are that would enough "not to encourage her" and "the honey thing" will wear off.

I think that it is cute. My daughter use to call my dad Honey when she was small. Now she's going on six and she calls him grandpa. Y'all should just enjoy it for now.

I do not think it is a bog deal, and that it is cute. It's not like when she is 19 she will be calling her boss honey. But what can you do? It's the parents choice.

She'll probably grow out of it. It's just part of normal language learning and social interaction, to mimic what people call eachother.

But you shouldn't be too pushy, and you should respect your son's wishes, especially if she's his first child. You might risk alienating your son, and causing him to not want his child to be around you, because he may perceive that you're trying to pry, or trying to parent his child.

That is cute! I mean she's 2. To suggest anything like "incest" is just odd. That never even came to mind. I don't see the big deal. I think they are exagerating a bit.

I think that it is your child, and if you feel she is allowed to use the word, she should be. Obviously she is too young to know exactly what it means, and she is not of the age where she can go to school, and get in trouble.

So nah, nothing wrong with it. New words, new fun, it'll die down. Let you control your kid, not your brother ;).

i see no problem with it...she is just copying what she hears..i had 3 kids...they would call me by my first name because my wife would..they dont know any better...my granddaughter calls me ''popo''..i love it

I agree with you completely !

Tell her she is 2 years old, and to get the **** over it. God damn, childen can't be children anymore. Bullshit "society" Pisses the **** out of me.
