Tell me I'm not the only one

My Dad just generically nick named us all Fred to avoid any confusion. And he used to point alot!!! lol Even now when I am talking to him on the phone he will get our names wrong when he is talking about us.. he will go "oh you will never guess what Kathryn is doing.... " and i go.. "Gee wont I??? What AM I doing these days??? lol" My mum however has always been pretty good :)

In my little family we have a bit of a funny situation.. DS is named after DH... which is so far ok because not many people refer to DH by his first name... I call DH "Baby" and he calls me "Baby" and DD got the nickname "Baby" when she was a Baby.. so when one of us calls "Baby!!!" we all have to check who it is we are talking to!!! lol

That's what I need, a nickname to cover all the kids then they can work out who I'm calling for.

Regards,
Dianne

Yep that sounds like my dad, fred or beetle are our generic nicknames. The best one from my mum is calling out "go *dogs name*" & " good dog!" when I was playing netball....

I'm awesome at this. I go through all the pets names, DH's, my siblings and the kids before I get to who I mean :lol:

Ha ha ha. :rofl: Great thread.

I only have one child, but I sometimes call her by DH's name and vice versa. I'm pretty sure that when we had pets I would throw the pets names in there sometimes too (or call the rat by DD's name...).

No, you are not the only one. I even mix up the names of my siblings. Lol.

My mum used to go through all the names and even the dog before getting mine lol. I don't have to much trouble but DF is atrocious for getting the names mixed up :)
