I would personally have taken that as a joke- i don't think it's meant seriously for a minute, is it?
It's like one lady on here describes her boyfriend as the 'man hostage'- it's not serious just something jokey to say.
You know her better than I do Jd- but I really would assume it's a joke however many times it's repeated. People use language very casually sometimes, someone took exception to Sherrard once because she calls her kids ' thing one', 'thing two' etc, but it's just a joke.
Hey MM, I am ok thanks, got the staples out yesterday so feeling a wee bit sorry for myself! I have another plaster on for another 4 weeks. How are you? (sorry jd!) x
...mm...I noticed you referred to them as "MY children" jd. Doesn't that imply ownership....the first-person, possessive adjective to describe something you own............?
We all do this it's just to differentiate between our kids and other peoples..;-)
