ok now, when I talk to my 30 year old son I sometimes call him honey...a friend of mine makes fun of me when I do so....does ANYONE else call their son's HONEY? maybe it's NOT a good thing lol :dontknow:
-
Honey, I am from the south where everybody calls everybody "honey" When you are in customer service it sure comes in handy! People want to be remembered! If you encounter hundreds of people a week; how can you begin to remember names? Around here it is a compliment to be called ""honey"! ;)

I am a southern woman born and bred and I approve of this statement ! ;) We can also flip that though. "Oh honey, bless your heart, 'insert insult here'."

I don't call my son "honey." Instead, I call hime "Son."

There is nothing wrong with calling your son Honey.
-
Honey is simply a term of endearment and does not offend or bother me in any way.
-
:- I don't think so. My mom somtimes call my little brother is honey, but she rarely unfrequently call me, her daughter is honey... It that interesting to compare?
-
No kids to speak of. I don't know that I have ever called anyone that. Some people might call their girlfriend honey but I think the only thing like that I have ever called a girlfriend has been babe or baby.
-
I don't think there is anything wrong with calling anyone honey if they are you and the honey are both comfortable with it. There are times when I'm out in public and people call me honey and I don't like it but other times when I'm ok with it. You know when the waitress calls ya hun, that's cool. But when the mailman calls you honey it's weird. I call my son Bear. Recently I found out what the word "Bear" meant in the gay community and now I watch who is around when I call him by my pet name.
-
My mother called everybody honey - my brother, my sister, me, my dad and probably everyone else, although I'm not sure about that.
-
I love to be called Honey, AND I call my son honey -
probably for the rest of his life ... :thumbsup: :wave: :wave:

I see nothing wrong with calling your son honey, but I absolutely hate it when a perfect stranger call me by the endearment "honey". Or even sweetie, it really steams me when people do it and then I have to correct them, which I don't mind doing. Yes, I am from the South.
-
Yes everyone is called honey in the south, their is no way to remember everyones name.
-
I live in the Midwest and the waitress may even call me "Honey" even though she has never met me before.
-
I don't see anything wrong with it either. I'll be 25 next month and my parents still call me by nicknames I had when I was little.
-
There's nothing wrong with that, so long as your son isn't annoyed by it! Hopefully he recognizes that it's just his mom being sweet and loving. Don't let anyone try to tell you it's "wrong" to call him honey...otherwise they deserve to be called some things themselves.
-
well i dont have any kids but my mom still calls me honey so its not a bad thing lol
-
honey is great for asore throat and cutes
-
I feel somewhat special when someone calls me honey. I do use the honey thing quite a bit, and no one seems to mind. Most of the time it's just Hon tho'.
-
Thank you all so much, I continue to call my son Honey :wave: ;D
-
honey is real good and natural
-
my mother in law calls her sons honey all the time.
-
I'm from the South too, and lots of people call each other honey, including mothers talking to their children. I think it's perfectly alright.
