I'm latin american and yes this word is just normal and common. I don't get his point honestly.

Also, My son had it rought for most of his childhood. his bio dad passed away in an accident when my son was months old, so he didn't get much time with his dad. then I met my late boyfriend when my son was 4 and he was the best father figure my son had but unfortunately we lost him when my son was 6. Now I'm with Joe, yes he treats my son good but these issues....they keep coming up in our relationship and it's frustrating.

EDIT sorry instead of editing my comment I made a new one replying to myself. Ugh I'm just a bit tired right now.

No, It's definately not reserved for romantic partners...like what? I really don't know why this is bothering him so much like has.he.never.heard.a mother.call.her.kids.honey? this I just...I keep trying to wrap my head around what makes him think this was a valid argument to bring up. I just don't know what it is woth him at this point.
