This is a question Parents

"They fuck you up, your mum and dad" said Philip Larkin. Did he have a point? Perhaps yours are merely horrendously embarrassing? Or are you yourself that embarrassing or terrible parent? No tedious McCannery or nonce strikethroughs please, ffs.

how is it abuse?
it's a word used widely across a large demographic of English speakers. This is just your misguided and misinformed snobbery showing through.

just because people use it across the globe doesn't prevent it from being abusive to the words and the ear
it's a vile abomination of a term that is right up there with "we're pregnant".

It saddens me to see a native speaker of the world's most flexible and varied language

'We're pregnant' is pretty apt as pregnancy and marriage essentially turns two people into a homogenous boring unit.

it's just awful
NO, UNLESS YOU ARE SOME KIND OF MEDICAL MARVEL OR SIMULTANEOUSLY UPDUFFED LESBIANS/TRANSGENDER MEN, YOU ARE NOT BOTH PREGNANT.
