BAB,when are you too old to be 'Bab'

People always seem to call me bab even younger people,and i only just realized i call most family members who are younger than me,babe,and my husband.
 
You are probabley right bab...there was a great mob of us cousins from the old end and May and myself are the only ones in regular contact.
 
Being the youngest in the family I was called the 'babbit'

my dads sayings where, oh well! this wont get the babby a new bonnet, (when getting ready to work) and "if theres enough blue in the sky, to make the babby a pair of trousers, itll be a nice day" dear old dad!
 
I am 66 and my uncle still calls me bab it makes you feel a little bit special somehowm altho my daughter threatened me never to call her little ones babby or bab so I call them precious or sweetheart, cos they are.
 
Bab Is nice, babe is what I hate, cant stand it, i could scream when i hear some one say "alright babe" i wont go on I can feel myself getting angry just thinking about it
