[quote=Anonymous]I have always hated when adults spoke like this too, and now I have young kids and say things like "potty" and "tummy" sometimes too. I try to stop myself but when you spend a lot of time around kids it can be hard. You're tired, you go on autopilot. The thing is, I didn't even want to teach my kid to speak this way either. I was going to be the mom who just used the adult terms so my kids do too. But when the daycare worker, the doctor, your husband, your mom, your MIL, AND your kids are walking around saying "oh do you need the potty? I think he needs the potty. Did you take him to the potty," you just start saying it too to get through these stupid conversations about the potty faster.[/quote]
