Didn't/doesn't Jesus say, unless you become as little kids you can never see the kingdom ?Does it drive anyone else nuts?!?
I am not familiar with his background.Sadly I watched some, before finding out h.b. was openly very wicked with many well known women.
Children. Not kids. Children. Huge difference.Didn't/doesn't Jesus say, unless you become as little kids you can never see the kingdom ?
I've enjoyed that - being and becoming even as a little child to be sharing in God's Kingdom.C
I was not either, yet was very naive watching tv. It is produced to entertain people to distract us all from Godly lives. It does that every second of every day that so many billions watch.I am not familiar with his background.
Well I think you're somewhat over reacting. Maybe not totally depending on the tone of the one saying the statement. When I was 13 I looked upon someone in their twenties as full grown adults. Now I'm 65 I many times do look upon people in their twenties as still kids in a sense but I truly don't mean anything condescending about it. I even look upon people in their late 30's as kids FOR my kids or offspring are of those ages. You'll always think of your offsping as kids no matter how old they are.Does it drive anyone else nuts?!?
I am nearly 27, not a "kid," and haven't been for some time, and find it rather condescending.
Maybe I'm overreacting lol
Also, I much prefer the term "child" or "children" when referring to children.
Wait till you hit 40. You'll take it as a compliment!
I think it depends on the way it's said, and by whom. Your Grandfather, for example, could call you that as a term of affection;
I'd love to be able to end a statement with 'kid' or 'kiddo' but it seems unlikely that will ever happen... or that I'll ever have any contact with them. If you get that from family, count your blessings.My son is 40 .... I sometimes refer to him as "kiddo" .... he's my "kid" and always will be ;o) He don't have a problem with it. It's a term of endearment actually.
You are overacting, take into account of the age difference of those calling you a kid.Does it drive anyone else nuts?!?

ok. it just irritates me personally. I don't know why. I do not even like the word "kid" to begin with, I prefer "children" IMHOYou are overacting, take into account of the age difference of those calling you a kid.
hmmm...maybe. I still don't like the word "kid," as I still find it extremely condescending. heh heh
Acknowledging me as a grown woman rather than a girl is not the same thing as addressing me directly as “woman” which is either innocent or disrespectful depending on context. John Lennon’s song “Woman” comes to mind, and in some translations of the Bible, that’s how Jesus addressed His mother.Oh boy! Did I get grief when I called my wife 'woman'! If we'd had a dog then I'd have been sleeping in his house... on more than one occasion (I'm a slow learner sometimes). She was my 'sweetheart' and she loved me calling her that.
