Yes, I know. It’s still gross and creepy because spouses that do it are defining each other to their faces firs & foremost according to their reproductive roles, instead of as individual persons.
It is rather old-fashioned in any case. Especially to use it outside the immediate family as a form of nickname. And in that sense, it does tell us a lot about Pence and his “family values”.
