Nagged if ya do, Nagged if ya don't

Now I'm armed and ready to confront Daughter! YES! She and her Hubby were told studies show that if you talk to babies in Baby talk instead of grown up talk, it retards them or makes them talk babyish forever or some such nonsense. They halfway insist I follow that rule, to which I say, "Tell somebody who believes that crap". Most these kinds of studies come from educated idiots.

That's not to say anyone who's educated is an idiot, but there are educated idiots. You've seen them. They always seem to know more about parenting and never had a kid of their own, seem to know more about boats but never so much as swam...

Anyhow.., I raised my daughter on babytalk and she don't lisp, and actually has really a really good vocabulary and pronouncifications and stuff. She quit baby talk when she was 4 or 5 on her own. Anywho - the latest study is in! Baby talk to babies may help a the kid differentiate between words and speed up the language learning process. I stand justified. She trusts in studies - here's the study! HAH!

If I left the impression that daughter and I are at odds - think again. We get along really good actually. But as we all know - our kids don't know squat and pale in our shadows since we parents always know better. It's an unwritten law of the universe - UNLESS - were talking about OUR parents in which case we hit upon an exception to said rule.

And besides - in my defense, the baby started it., so
