"Work wife" or "Work husband"

ick

[XocolateThundarr]

"Work wife" or "Work husband"

Yeah....eff all that noise.

[OK_Cat]

yeah, that's gross

[star seed 7]

Which is worse - wifey or the rib?

[BIG APPLE CAT]

lotta folks ITT outing themselves as work single. (probably work incel, if we're being honest)

I say wifey because I've never heard of "the rib" which just seems awful while "wifey" is much more prevalent and often used by women to describe themselves

I hate both. But I call my wife “Hun” like a small town east coast diner waitress calls everyone. Started as a joke but now it’s stuck.

This is the same reason why ms.ww and I call each other "bae"

Thoughts on calling kids kiddo or kiddos? Because I do that a lot.

"Oh yeah I heard you guys had a kiddo, how is the little guy" etc

Or kids that aren't mine I'll say "aw thanks kiddo" etc

[michigancat]

I don't mind "hon" or "bae"

I like doing that to a single one of my kids as in "what's up, kiddo?" but hate it when people describe their kids as kiddos. It makes no sense and is a complete double standard but that's part of the Pet Peeves journey.

[Cartierfor3]

I only describe my kids as a kiddo if I don't know someone that well. "Yeah I had to miss because I have a sick kiddo"

yep, I hate that. And my stance is completely unreasonable.

[Cartierfor3]

Fair.

I actually agree with you, but I think my pet peeve might just be people adding extra letters or syllables to words. Kids is a pretty easy word to say, just use that.

After Kaydin caught the ball, hubby turned to wifey and exclaimed, "Our kiddo scored a tuddy!"

[mocat]

in the mocat pet peeve hierarchy, hubby is infinitely grosser than wifey or kiddo

It's a Wifey's World, and we're just living in it.

I asked a friend about that last post by Spracs and he said it was an elite throwback reference by Spracs.  A deep cut for sure.

i think they tend to be used by folks on the influencery / crypto end of the spectrum

[Cartierfor3]

dog mom would be one. that one is IRL cringe

[Spracne]

I own a mug that reads "CAT DAD"

Yes, please mark me down as a work virgin.  I don't dip my pen in the company ink.
