My mother frequently has to cycle through my brothers/my fathers name before getting to mine.
Its the times when she starts using the cats name I get a little miffed.
- patcon 11y agoWHOA. I just wrote almost the same comment before seeing yours: > My mother is known for cycling through names before hitting the right one. > > I was frequently addressed as "Hershey-Chris-Patrick" while living at home.
- panorama 11y agoMy parents will start with my brother's name first before getting to me, but I've also heard them make the same, inverse mistake with my brother. I have to imagine this is only a same-sex issue right? No one mixes up their daughter and son's names?
- jkire 11y agoMy mother occasionally uses the cat's name. The cat's name! We're both male, but still
- shanusmagnus 11y agoNope, my grandma would cycle through random children and grandchildren of either gender before she'd get to me. I always thought this was unique until I read these comments today.
- mng2 11y agoNo, it happens with my parents. My sister and I are many years apart though, and once I went to college there was only one kid in the house, so I can kinda understand.
- gknoy 11y agosheepish I do, but not often, and usually only when I'm trying to get them each to do things like clean up a room or fold laundry, or do X/Y/Z before dinner. Even as I say it I notice it, and wonder where the heck that came from.
