Stop being such a dumb bitch that even a 5-year-old kid can correct you?
I noticed that the question keeps talking about 'my spouse'. Not 'my husband', or even 'his father'. Speaks volumes, doesn't it?
I've noticed this phenomenon among my lefty family and coworkers. They all started calling their significant others "partners" instead of wives/husbands or girlfriends/boyfriends. Super creepy.
Not as bad as the time I watched a pregnant couple correct their older child when he incorrectly referred to their unborn child as his "brother" - because the child wasn't a child until it was born. Imagine being a kid, knowing that your mom is carrying your sibling, and then being forced to call your unborn brother a fetus. All to reinforce the "right" politics for a fucking six year old.
Well, they could decide for a late term abortion. Wouldn't sit right with the kid when you have to tell him you just murdered his brother. /s
Wait until he gets a bit older and realizes that that works backwards to him as well. Might as well just say "Remember son, you weren't human to us until we had to sign the paperwork."
Leave Tyrone out of this.
