I hate baby talk

CamilleJonCamilleJon member
in December 2010 Moms

I get so irked when someone talks "baby talk" to my son. I don't mean higher pitched talking... I mean adding a "y" to the end of every word.

Examples:

"Does baby want a napp-y?"

"That was a big poop-y in the diap-y"

"Your sock-y fell off."

"Do you want to sit in your swing-y?"

 Ugh... it annoys the crap out of me Confused

    my theory is... yea they like the high pitch and expressive faces... but while she's learning to talk we need to use the right words so she learns right.

     Both MIL & SIL baby talk to LO.  Every time I correct MIL on something she always says "I raised two kids and they turned out fine."  I question how "fine" they are.

    We call the burp cloth a "burpy" or maybe it's "burpee" cause that's a funnier spelling. We got this from someone else who was helping us in the early days and we use it sort of tongue in cheek "hand me a burpee" etc.

    Otherwise I agree. Poopy etc is kind of annoying. But what I really HATE, is when my MIL does voices for the baby in a high pitched annoying voice. "He's saying 'Mommmy i wanna go outside'"

    FVCK YOU, no he is not. Do not talk for my child. He will speak for himself soon enough. She did this when he was in the WOMB and I nicely asked her to cut it out. I want to smack her every damm time she does it.
