Cloth Diapering

NCDR i need some reassurance. please.

i don't want to get into the whole deal leading up to the snide remark, but my brother in law made a very rude remark to my husband about my husband mimicing our 19 month old daughter's 'babbling', he said, more or less, "teach her some F***ing words, and stop with the stupid sounds." (he was obviously in a terrible mood for some reason...)

now without getting into everything, we all live together, my husband's entire family, (his mom, dad, 3 brothers, 2 of the brother's wives, and the brother's daughter) the brother with the daughter is the one who made the comment.

now whenever anybody has any issues with anyone else in the house we always turn to the the head of the house, my mother in law.

again, without going into too much detail, my mother in law is notorious for sided with said brother in law for everything, and this was no different.

she said something along the lines of 'well she SHOULD be talking more by now...' once again taking his side.

our daughter says many words, and will point said words out, like she will yell out 'kitty' when she sees a cat. and when we ask her a yes or no question, she will nod yes or no when answering. she is running around like crazy, and is a complete social butterfly at the park. she can take simple orders very easily as well, such as 'put that back' she will go put the item back where she found it. and she even seems to share very well, she just doesn't 'speak' too often.

who else out there had late bloomers to speech?

anyone else tell me about their kids?

  • E is 17 months, and hardly talks at all. She just now started saying mama. The few words she says are useless like purple and bubble. But she's been walking since she was 9 months, and clearly understands directions.
    Your LO is perfectly fine. And your bil is kind of an ass.

  • My dd1 didn't speak much at all until about 27 mos. I had her evaluated at 2yo. She is now over 3 and advanced.

  • How old are you and why are you all living with your ILs? Honestly this sounds ridiculous. I can't imagine, as an adult, having a disagreement with any other adult and turning to a third, uninvolved adult to 'solve' our problem. Unless it was civil court and there was a judge. JFC. Move out and stop hanging out with assholes?

    There she is! Happy holidays ITK!

  • I can confirm two things.
    1. You aren't alone. My DS in 2 and not everyone understands him. At the same age as your LO he hardly said anything intelligible, but would understand and communicate wonderfully.
    2. Your BIL is an ass. Your MIL is a real peach too.

  • This situation sounds . . . Very strange. My daughter was not a late talker but she was a very late bloomer on loll her gross motor stuff, including walking. It got really irritating towards the end having to constantly tell people that no, I wasn't worried and yes, I had talked to her doctor and she was fine.

    You guys, I'm a pediatric speech pathologist and all of your kids sound just fine. It's expected (and reassuring) to have stronger receptive language (understanding) than expressive anyway. There is a HUGE range of typical development and if your child is delayed, you'll have a better idea before anyone else! If you're ever concerned, bring it up to your pediatrician and ask for a referral. It never hurts to have an eval, but if there is nothing to be concerned with, your doctor wouldn't refer you in the first place. Relax, keep talking back to and interacting with your child, and enjoy her budding development! Feel free to PM me at any rate :)

  • Though some doctors will refer you automatically because they're not sure what to recommend, so don't be alarmed.

  • in my special ed classes the general rule they gave us was don't be concerned unless there are no words at 18 months and they aren't putting 2-3 words together at 2 years. I teach middle school now, so this might not be current, but it's fine for a guideline.

  • My niece will be 2 in February and I can't think of any words I know she can say. She understands perfectly well and she doesn't babble either, she's just quiet. Obviously she says things sometimes, I just don't know what because I'm not around her 24/7. But for as much as I am around her, she doesn't say much.
  • alright, so to clear at least one thing up, we speak as 'adults' would to our daughter most of the time, we normally babble back, or mimic the other noises she makes mostly as a game we play with her (this includes her screaming different letters at us)

    as far as the living situation goes, i do not have to, nor need to explain everything about it. we are more or less stuck living here until either my hubby finds a better job, or until someone will actually hire me, and we can afford to leave.

    we have had multiple problems with this said brother in law in the past, and if it wasn't our only/last option we would not be living here.

    anyways, thanks for the re-enforcement ladies, i feel better and more confident in my motherly instinct that our daughter is just fine.

    it just really irked me that he said it, and i wanted some other ladies opinions.

  • i guess i should also mention she is learning 3 languages as well. my hubby's family speaks almost mainly Spanish, and we are teaching her sign language as my brother is deaf. i have heard that learning multiple languages may cause for longer speech patterns to appear. i was told that myself, didn't really get going with talking until about 2 but would sign up a storm, due to my parents teaching me sign language for my brother.

  • My kids are going to have speech problems too, specially because they will be multilingual But for what I can tell in your situation is more about culture. I believe your DH family are Latinos, for the way all of you share the same house and for the way you refer to your MIL. But let me tell you something not matter what your situation is you need to be confiden and strong,some times leaving with a lot of people can be very stressful.sometimes is not about how mature people are, some times is about the environment that you are in. And is depending of you if you want to follow they rule,or you made you own.
