Please stop using the word "kids"

[rh71]

If I say "my children" in a sentence - sounds kinda pretentious, high and mighty.

 

[D1gger]

For years when I got home from work I would say "hello kidlets" to my children. Hard to do now that both are in the 20's.

To be precise, i'm not opposed to informal usage such as calling someone "kiddish" or "new kid on the block" etc, I just want people to be aware that when they start saying things like "my kids are #1 blah blah blah" or "i love kids" or octomom has a dozen kids they're referring to young goats and not humans. They should use "children" in such cases.

Octomom, "a dozen kids," and #1 are all informal.
