Should moms call their sons "hot"?

 I was just reading a description that a mom had about herself on another site.  She said something like "I have two mad-hot sons (16 and 21)".

I think this sounds a little creepy to refer to your sons as "hot".  I think I would use a term that stayed a little further away from the more sexual terms. I would use something like cute, attractive, or handsome. 

What do you guys think?

Only if they are...

Really tho...Words mean different things to different people.  It might not have a sexual connotation to her.  know what I mean?

 Hmm.  Hot to me isn't a sexual term.  It's a synonym of cute or attractive.  So yeah, if my DS grows up to be good looking, I might call him "hot" or whatever the slang term is at the time.

 See, I see the word "hot" being very close to sexy.  If I heard a grown man say that a 4 year old girl was hot, I would get creeped out and get the little girl away as quickly as possibly.  If the same man said, "She is cute." that has a whole different meaning to me.

It's not something I would use to describe my child. It's like calling your daughter "sexy", which to me would also be very inappropriate.

I don't know...I definitely think it's strange to call your son hot but I guess it would all depend on if that's her common vernacular.

I would call them handsome. When I think someone is "hot" it generally means I find them attractive in a not mother-son way. So for me...i would not call my kids hot lol.

Maybe she is looking for girlfriends for them.... lol who knows.  They are her kids and her terms. My DS is a good looking guy for 15.  Just what does "hot" mean anyway?

i just told my 7 year old son he was hot, and he told me i was gross. i kind of agree with him. i wouldnt feel comfortable telling him he was hot, it like telling my daughter she is sexy.
