    I was conceived while my mom was married to someone other than my dad but was born after they were married...

    Does that still technically make me a *kitten*?

    Someone said that I was and I just want to clarify.
    Yes, you are. But not for this reason. :tongue:

    That's probably not what makes you a *kitten*...

    There once was a boy, we know as Jesus. He was conceived before his parents married. His dad was not his biological father. You are in good company :smile:

    You're not, but the person who called you that is.

    I think my cousin is technically a *kitten* (or whatever the female equivalent is) because her father was killed in Vietnam before she was born and the Catholic church refused to marry her parents before he shipped out that last time. They were married according to the state, but not the church. Either way, unmarried woman at the time of the birth.
    :noway:

    The mother was a widow, so the child was, if anything, an orphan. Although with one living parent, not so much.

    Also, who gives a flying feck?! It's not like your parents' legal status has any bearing on who you are as a person. I've known some right *kitten* whose parents had been married years before they were born.

    i'm so glad this is (largely?) a historical term of insult. hadn't thought about what someone might mean by it, using it in a strict sense - what an ugly word for an ugly idea.

    Wait. Is this one of those math word-problems? You may not be a *kitten*, but you are definitely a jerk for trying to make me think.

    Ugly idea yes, but it did orginally serve a purpose. It was used to determine the passing on of property, land ownership & so forth. If someone was classed as a rightful heir or not. Although in those days if you were female you were out of luck when it came to that anyway.

    There's that, of course!

    I was thinking about how, in living memory (though in the distant past, so far away I'd forgotten it), kids of single moms just got reamed at school, suffered all kinds of judgement.. just awful.

    Very true, as it happens I'm adopted & my teenage bio mum got sent off to a unmarried mother's home - in 1979! :noway: I couldn't believe it when I found that out. It seemed like something from the dark ages!

    My mother got married over the summer of her junior and senior years. She wasn't pregnant. Just married. She was expelled from school for it. She was a straight A student.

    That's nuts! I think they used to use the excuse that if girls were pregnant it would interfere with schooling, disrupt other students, & set a bad example. Seriously though a girl being married & a great grade student isn't exactly going to throw everyone up in arms.
