  • I think it is... quite frankly, classless.

    Yes, I understand, I am being a pretentious asshole, but it sort of makes me sad that I hear more people referring to the parent of their children as baby Momma/baby Daddy rather than... I don't know, husband or wife? Maybe it's the conservative streak in me...

    Either way, I am not judging the people that use it because it is certainly more efficient to say than "Father of my child", however, to me, it sounds like a very classless term and it saddens me just a little bit that it has become such a popular term in our society...

    • I hate when people go on and on about "class". The best person I know would probably be considered trailer trash. Ironically, these same people who think anyone they don't think are "classy" are the ones who constantly talk about how it's fine to do anything you want as long as it isn't obviously hurting anyone.

      • Maybe you need to re-read my statement, as I recognized how pretentious it sounded and I was referring to the "class" of the term itself.

        Some of my best friends would be considered "trailer trash" and I too could have been considered that at some point. Fuck, you're talking to a girl that spend a good deal of her life living in a trailer park in rural North Carolina. You don't need to tell me about class and the quality of a person. I know it just fine, thanks.
