OP said her DC uses it for her butt, not her pacifier. FTR, pacifiers do not inhibit speech.


I think she just meant that with a pacifier in a kids mouth it is hard to talk, not that pacifiers cause speech delays.

If you don't like it just tell DC not to use it. It will take a while to break the habit if they use it at daycare, but reinforce at home and it will work eventually.

Have never heard the word used that way -- I thought the title was referring to the term as used by David Brooks in Bobos in Paradise.

So, slang words from your culture (butt, hiney) are acceptable, but caregivers can't use the words from their culture? Lovely.

I thought you meant that little chair for kids that can't sit up, what is that called, a Boppo or something?

accept, not except.

Never heard bobo used -- I thought you were talking about the word for scrapes/bruises (boo boo? bobo?)

It's a bottom, or even butt. I will except rear end or even hiney, although it's not my favorite. My DD daycare teacher calls it her bobo, so now my daughter does and it makes me cringe. I literally hate the word.
