Haha, yes! I know talking to your child is important (even when they are too young to understand everything/talk back) but is it really necessary to narrate your ENTIRE thought process through out the grocery store in a sing song voice?

“There are some apples! Should we get some apples? I know daddy likes apples & we haven’t had them in a while so let’s get some! How many should we get? How about 6? Ok, let’s pick out 6...1.2,that looks like a good one!,3...”

These people are THE WORST.  They only do it when they see that someone is around to watch them be a good parent.  I would bet that when another adult isn't around, they are just cruising their phone.  "it's a BIG tree ARLO." (also, they make sure that you HEAR the incredibly cool and unique name that they gave their kid, that part is important too....)

Nanny here.  I frequently mistaken as the parent, and I do this constantly, but never with a sing-song tone.  I do use quiet and low times to vary the stimulus, and I couldn’t care less about who listens. [/quote]
