My first rant...

Thank you Dena and Jenn.

I used to use that term but got tired of people chewing on me for using it. Now I call her something else. Of course, she is twelve years younger than me so it just doesn't have the right ring to it.

Love it!!!!! Still here

Love reading these responses from people at the OP, saying he's buthurt, talking about how sensitive or liberal he must be because he's telling em how they ought to live their life. Ummmm..... isn't that the reaction you're having?? Getting your feelings hurt cause a man is trying to point out something that just cause it's accepted, doesn't mean it's right?? You do not have to stop saying it because a fellar on TBH said it wasn't right! Perhaps he's just trying to share a point of view that might benefit you in the way you live your life. Take it or leave it, disagree but leave out all the petty name calling.

My wife and I pick at and on each other constantly but I've just never liked this term either. I don't call her my ol lady cause I view her as a huge gift. If she hadn't come along in my life, very good chance I wouldn't be sitting here laughing at this green screen.



Black Ice, I'm still laughing!!

This, this and this again.
I could not have said it better.

Oh and from another married woman's opinion... I agree with Nurse Jenn.

You are still missing the point.

I have a good friend, a retired Marine [/B]Colonel; no, not Chew[/B] ),

I hope he doesn't see this. I'm pretty sure he worked for a living.

That would be worse than calling him your ole lady.

You're killing me Smalls!

Love ya Britt.

So my question is how do you feel about calling her heifer?

Not a good idea even if joking. There is no way to explain your way out it.

Also don't use the word udders

I would bet 99% of the wife's being called 'ol lady would prefer Darling, Beautiful Wife, Queen or anything else besides that. Jus sayin

I guess I'm that rare 1%
I know my hubby is not being disrespectful or mean it's just the way he talks. He has other nicknames for me also but I still don't get mad when he refers to me as his "old lady".
Maybe it's because I'm not "old" that it doesn't offend me or maybe it's because we both joke with each other a lot.
I sometimes refer to him as my "babies daddy" but that's just a joke we keep poking at (and yes I've introduced him on several occasions as my babies daddy).
To each their own [emoji6]

If Bobby called me his old lady, I would throat punch him...twice
It is disrespectful...period.

For you gals that think it is okay, it is not. What are you teaching your daughters or your sons?

How would you like for your son-in-law to call your daughter his "old lady"? How about her boyfriend? They learn from what they hear.

I am pretty easy going about stuff and this is my pet peeve. Grow up and show the ladies some respect, especially your wife and the mother of your children.

Just seems like a white/black/brown/purple/blue/green/yellow/rainbow trash statement to me and belittles the person that lets those words leave their mouth.

If anyone called my daughter his old lady, he would be throat punched too! She is too precious for that crap. Well, she would handle that before I ever had the opportunity. She has too much respect for herself to let some jerk belittle her. She knows her worth.

And if your son believes he can get away with those words, he needs to rethink that situation. Teach your kids respect for other people, especially their significant others. Girls included.

I guess to each their own because I don't feel like my husband is disrespecting me when he calls me "old lady" but then again everyone has a different level of respect that they require from others.
I have three boys who are very respectful young men and my husband and I have taught them how to be respectful of others so I'm sure when the time comes for them to start dating or get married their spouses and them will agree which nicknames are appropriate and which ones they prefer not to be called.
Just because you don't agree with me letting my hubby call me his "old lady" doesn't mean we haven't taught my boys how to respect women....
Like I have previously said as long as both the hubby and the wife are okay with it, it is truly no one else's business.
