Does it bother you when someone says their baby is 26 months, etc?

Question

Does it bother you when peooke say their baby is 26 months(just an example) instead of a year and 4 months. I shit you not, someone said their 32 month old. I usually dont care at all what people say or do. But that stuff just irks me beyond belief. Is it the fear of your baby being older? Whats the reason?

Answer

Here is why: babies grow and develop so much between ages birth-3. A 13 month old is not the same as an 18 month old yet they are both "1 year old." Doctors and experts in children mark times in months for those first years for this reason so it is natural that parents will do the same. Get over it.

Answer

I understand for the first 2 years of a childs life. I'm an Early Childhood educator and we use their months as age a lot because even 3 months can make a HUGE difference developmentally even if they're both a year old.

Answer

Omg I thought I was the only one... It bothers me SO MUCH... Like 
"Awww... How old is your child?! They are so cute."
"Oh he/she's 24 months."
"2. You mean 2." 
Idk why it's such a pet peeve of mine... But it is. It drives me crazy...

Answer

It doesnt bother me since I'm a mom so I'm used to it. But when people would ask me how old my son was I would say hes 1 and half or 2 instead of months to consider other people who dont care to hear (months).

Answer

I understand why people do it, but as someone who's never been good at math it one of my pet peeves lol

Answer

I don't give a shit

Answer

It doesnt bother me unless the kid is over 2
There is a big difference between a 13m old and a 23m old

Answer

You mean you don’t want to hear that I’m 384 months old?? 😂😂😂

Answer

After 24 months i think people should stop using months & start saying their child is how ever many years old. I don't want to have to sit there & do the math cause I asked someone how old their child is & they say 30 months just say it's 2.5 years old.

Answer

doesn’t really bother me, I haven’t heard anyone say their kids age in months past like 18 months.
