Oh god, I used to live in a community/area of people that LITERALLY used to call their kids sexy. As in "Look at little Wayne! Sexy baby! Come here for a kiss, Sexy!"

Flirting has a distinctly sexual connotation the way it's used colloquially, so I think it's creepy as fuck to attribute that kind of behavior to a baby or child, especially in relation to an ADULT. And even if that's what's happening on some latent level, let's not have parents going around telling strangers that…

To be fair, when I turned to flash my death glare, the mom was obviously mortified, and was really clear the kid was mimicking the behavior of an unfortunate father figure. He was like, "Damn slim, I'm feelin' dat ass..." and I had no choice but to just to walk away because his mom was instantly very apologetic to me…

I vote yes. But I'm no shade expert.

A woman I used to work with would tell me that her toddler daughter was sexy. I was like, "uh, no. I've seen her, she is cute as a button, but if you think sexy is EVER the proper way to describe a) your daughter and b) ANY CHILD, we need to never speak again."

Yep. One of my friend's kids has repeatedly told my husband that he is "hot" and when she grows up she is "going to marry him", while simultaneously sending me a death stare. She is four and a half.

Our daughter (who is now 5) has dudes saying shit to us like "You better invest in a baseball bat now, heh heh!" and "She's going to be a heartbreaker!" and stuff like that. Like, from the time she was a BABY! Fucking gross. I get they're being complimentary but... gross.

They invented the game, yo. Well bless your heart.

My mother-in-law consistently addresses letters to my husband and me as Mr. And Mrs. TheirLastName. Even though my husband and I have both made it very clear to her that I have kept my maiden name.

Reminds me of the time my mother pulled aside my sister-in-law at her wedding to my brother and said he may be your husband now but he'll always be my little boy. And my mother has had the nerve to wonder all these years why my sister-in-law avoids her as much as possible?

Shade. So much shade.

Yeah the whole thing read like "I'm so sorry,I just want to help you you poor thing! You don't even know you look terrible! HAHAHAHA"

GROSSSSSS. I hate when parents call their son a "Ladies man" and shit like that. He is not a ladies man, he is a fucking baby and stop trying to make people think of your baby romantically you fucking weirdos. Or even worse when people say their baby is "flirting with you." Ummm no he's not, he probably just has to…

I'm pretty sure that is shade. Pretending to be nice but in fact insulting you is a good indication of shade occurring.

"From the woman who loved you first."

I think it's shade because the card isn't addressed to KJ and doesn't mention her at all. If it did, it wouldn't be shade.

SHADE

It is creepy and gross and weird. I have a friend with a 6 month old who posted something about her son being her valentines day date and watch out ladies and blah blah blah. Unfollowed immediately.

Moms who get all creepy possessive over their sons is just fucking weird and strikes me as some reverse Oedipus complex where the Mom isn't getting enough romantic attention from the kid's father/her husband/or other romantic partner so is trying to get it from her kid. This Mom is like metaphorically pissing all over…

"...this time she closed the card with: 'From the woman who loved you first.'"
