Would you ever use the word sexy to describe your baby/young children? For me no, I would never use the word sexy to describe my kids. Cute, adorable, cuddle or loveable those are the worlds that I would use to describe my daughter and our new baby when I get pictures for his ultrasound. He is so cute to me on those little picture to keep of him to remember when I was having him. I think its wrong of a parent to use the word sexy to describe there little ones.

Mom was guilty. When I was about 16 mom would call me sexy. Not when I was 2! she would kid me about being sexy when I didn't feel it in the very least.

It's not just wrong...it's very very weird. Do you know people who have done that? I can't imagine using that word to describe mine or anyone's children. I have actually never in my 56 yrs here on earth never heard anyone describing a child as "sexy". It would infuriate me. I'm sure it happens but thankfully I've never heard it.

Oh well thank goodness! I agree that it is normal to have a child go and change their outfit because it is too sexy or whatever. I have had to at times do that with my own girls when they were growing up. I have seen some very young girls that in my opinion are allowed to dress way to sexy for their age and it infuriates me and makes me sad equally. There is one that comes in to the store that I work. She is very pretty and very developed but she is just 12. She dresses and looks every bit as if she is 18 or older. I have seen older men checking her out and I've told them she is just a child. I know her mom quite well and her mother is not much a part of her life and her father just seems to not see it. A couple of other moms in town have kind of taken her under their wing and are trying to guide her a bit.

I think its okay to wear stuff like that at home but when your leaving the house no. I don't even like it when men look at me other then my husband but even then it creeps me out. My husband would die if our daughter went out any where with us at age looking like and adult and even then he might not let her leave the house. She isn't allowed to wear two piece bathing suites right now. Which I agree with him on little girl with no boobs do not need a tops like that out. I told him I would be okay with a two piece that is like my own with the long top that makes it look like your always wearing a one piece. She is 16 months and I don't even like half of the stuff other moms let there 16 month old's wear. AS my husband says her woobies are not to be shown or seen other then when we are changing her clothes or giving her a bath.

NO I don't know anyone that has said that about there babies or there kids. It was a question asked on Facebook by the babycenter so I figure it would make for a good discussion to see what other people felt about it as well. I've heard parents call there kids clothes sexy and make them go change there outfit that to me is normal. But describing your kid as sexy I have never hard of that at all.

There are a lot of words that I would use to describe my daughter, but sexy isn't one of them. Cute, pretty, beautiful are a few words that I would use, but not sexy. Whether we're talking about now, when she's 7 months old, or when she's an adult, it doesn't matter. I don't know if sexy is a word that I'd ever feel comfortable using to describe her.

My daughter is 17 months old and I would never call her sexy even when she is all grown up and is an adult I still wouldn't call her sexy not something I think I should ever say to my own child no matter how old they get. Clothes yes I would say that about there clothes and if they where still under 18 and living at home I would make them go change there clothes to something not so sexy.

Well one that baby isn't born yet so there isn't a picture of me with him. Two I don't have to put up pictures of me and my family if I don't want to. In the past on here there have been people stealing pictures of other people which is against the rules but it doesn't stop some people. So it's my choice what to put up and when. That is a cute picture of one of my babies.

I don't think I have ever known anyone that has described their child as being sexy. No, I would never use this adjective to describe my child.

I don't know anyone that has said that about there kids when talking about them to other people. I know I would never call my kids by that either.

It is very disturbing to call any child sexy weather it is your child or not. There is no reason for it, and it makes me sick to think about it. A child should never be thought of or called that.

I agree with you. I would rather use cute and adorable than use sexy to describe my son. The context of it does not apply to children.

I can see calling your kids clothes sexy but even then as I mom I would make it clear I was talking about there clothes and not themselves and have them change.

Hi, there's no way I would describe my daughters as sexy. Even that they will soon grow up as teens in a few years. I think if we say our kids sexy then people will start to look them in a wrong way, I don't want such thing happen. For me they will always be my baby, forever .

I agree with that last part. I will always see my kids as my baby. My oldest is just 16 months old and I would never call her sexy. I would call her clothes that if she ever wore any clothes that I felt where sexy and then of course as her mother I would make her go change her clothes to something that wasn't. God knows her father will kill anybody that thought she was sexy.

I haven't heard people use "sexy" word when talk about their babies yet. and i won't use it also. I think it is not nice word when talk about children, better we use another words as you mentioned.

hi ShyBear, Ii would never use sexy to describe a child either, but perhaps the ones who do are not meaning it in a sexy way.. I feel there are a lot of adjectives that can describe children other than sexy....

I would never use that word no, have you heard people say this? That's really odd. I did laugh a few times about a neighbors' girls "sexy thing" outfits she likes to wear, shes very young. But it's more a funny ha ha just between my husband and myself. It's kind of on the order of "look how grown up she thinks she is" kind of joke. But sexy to describe a baby or your child to someone? No you are absolutely right, that is just the wrong word to use. There are better and more appropriate adjectives.

I have never heard any parents that I know of call any of there children sexy at all. I don't know what parent would besides maybe someone that is crazy. The only time I would use the word sexy is for my child clothes if I feel that they are inappropriate in that way and of course as mom I would make my kids change there clothes. But if they where over 18 years old I would still tell them there clothes isn't right to wear out to certain places. I could never describe my kids as being sexy that just wired to me.
