Liz Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 maybe because if you speak weirdly to babies, they'll understand better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Rabbit Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You know what? Meteor's actually right. It's like talking down to them. We're making them stupider by doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal Rabbit Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 When I have a kid, I'm just gonna set them on the desk and tell them all the parts of a computer. It's reverse parenting technique! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeSu Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've addressed this multiple times when I was younger. My parents told me it was stupid. The only thing that my dad does is make his voice more high pitched so he doesn't upset the baby :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowAreYaBud Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 When I have a kid, I'm just gonna set them on the desk and tell them all the parts of a computer. It's reverse parenting technique! You mean IF you have a kid Then the baby will get all confused and go "Goo?" And I'll pop in and go "GOOOOOOOO" and scare the crap out of him/her.

Judge Judy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I am awful with babies I do wonder why people talk weirdly to babies...probably its just natural Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tino Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Likely because babies feel more comfortable (yes, babies have feelings too) when people talk "weirdly" to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynthia Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Any of you guys have a baby?Just curious. You'll understand better the day it happens. You don't have to have a baby to be around someone who does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Any of you guys have a baby?Just curious. You'll understand better the day it happens. No, but I have five younger siblings. I still don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 maybe the high pitched wierdness makes a baby laugh and smile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I admit, maybe tone of voice is a factor. But you can still teach them in a gentle voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well no crap, you think a baby is gonna smile or laugh if some nut speaks to it in an angry tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oguma Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 YEs, this is some what weird. Somewhat relevant: 1 and a half year old started crying on a plane, Mom: "Stop crying like a little baby." That kid WAS a baby. *facepalms* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
