.from earshot my Telugu tenant sister accost in her melodius voice her DH as "hay mundi" " Response/FB of Author of this thread was much awaited for long. Now I got quite a relief that my response too considered tolerable and glad that you and some others endured it. Thanks. Regards. God Bless Us All Always.
I call him by a pet name, which sounds similar to his first name before others. That's how we used to call each other since our dating times. But at home, it naturally happens that I end up calling him "appa" just like how my kids address him. He has become an 'Appa' (means dad) for all at home.
This a cute thread which bought back some sweet memories of my grandparents. I remember both the granny's calling their husbands like "ikdun sangne zale ki.." (इकडून सांगणे झाले की...) Which means "he said..."
I tend to agree more with @yellowmango about kids to be exposed to such love(ly) callings or and lovingly callings between parents. Yes it would nurture them with better bonding and love When my spouse and I upon invitation for lunch called on our family friend, we happened to see the lady of the house in front of her 3 year old welcomed a poor looking lady in plural words with lots of respect LIKE r u n d I- r u n d y . When we oservedl little later, the lady was cleaning cooking vessels and grooming the floor. We were wondering why she was accorded so much respect . When queried the lady of the house she responded that that would teach the young boy to respect elders. Regards God Bless Us All Always.
Hi ladies , even I have same confusion, before marriage he was fine , when i called with his name , after marriage he just told , don’t call with name , call like there sis and sis in law call , am from different language, I feel so weird to call like that , so when I have to call , I will tell kids or look at him and call in sign language , it’s so difficult in social get together,on other hand all his friends and their wives call with names , who has come from same state
