Does anyone else mix up saying ‘taking the baby to the vet’ instead of ‘the pediatrician’? Just me? My husband had a good laugh at me today.
We’ve accidentally called the bassinet our son’s crate before lol

I can’t count how many times I’ve called my baby my cat’s name and vice versa…

Yes, it’s ‘baby’, and I’m their mommy.
OMG, me all the time!!! Hahaha, and I feel so bad afterwards. I once said it to my mom, and she was like ‘oook… so you’re taking the baby to the vet, interesting…’
Not just you! My 8 week old went to the ‘vet’ for her shots. We call her HP as a code name (human pup) because we refer to our dog as ‘pup’ all the time! We ‘pup-ify’ everything, like calling coyotes forest pups, and a city dog is a city pup. We even call the cat ‘kitkat’.
@Reilly
We call ours the ‘skin puppy’
I don’t specifically do it, but I love calling our child a ‘skin baby’ just to gross my wife out
I complimented my son on being such a ‘cute puppy’ LOL
Yes!!! Thank you for this post lol. I can’t even count how often I’ve said ‘we have a vet appointment’ when talking about our baby. Also, I used to say ‘empty the litter box’ when referring to the diaper genie.
It’s just been my husband, me, and our cats for so long lol.
Guilty. We also have a DockATot that we call her baby dog bed lol
I’m still pregnant but I keep calling my baby my dog’s name
I told my husband I couldn’t wait to ‘birth this puppy’ one time, and he had a good laugh about it. I also reminded him to Aptul me and prenatal the dog (oops, that should’ve been the other way around ).
I do this all the time! I have been a vet tech with many animals for years. I often say vet instead of pediatrician. Also, her crib sometimes becomes her ‘enclosure’ or ‘kennel’. I’m sure there are more mishaps as well lol
Thank goodness raising a dog prepared me for a baby. A dog is worth three babies, fun fact.
Sometimes I’ll call my dog by the baby’s nickname and vice versa. It’s going to be hilarious when the baby understands words.
I am CONSTANTLY calling my baby kitten
