as condescending. That wasn't my intent. I was still in "mommy mode" which I know wasn't a good excuse, but was what happened. I also use "honey" A LOT with both husband and children, as well as "hun" - silly stuff, but not appropriate when talking to peers on a message board.

I think you are trying to be nice because you probably didn't see it as offensive? Thank you! And welcome to DU!
