i cant get myself to do the baby talk not even when my kids where babies and so hated hearing people do the baby talk to my kids, i feel like there IQ just drops lol

[stephanbakir]

Babytalk always drove me insane... even as a baby.
Especially those people like KAYLA who use the screachiest baby voice it wakes the neighbors.

It's because the majority of people are lazy and prefer to go by word of mouth opposed to doing research and finding Factual answers for themselves. It is a very sad fact and what makes it even worse is that it's the main reason why so many people have the wrong information.

They believe what they are told, don't double check the facts, relay that same info on down the line and then have a conniption fit and refused to accept the truths because they believe the "majority."

Biggest example of this class of thinking is when so many believed the earth was flat. The Greek philosopher Aristotle (384–322 BC) thought earth was a sphere. During the Christian years it was considered Blasphemy to say the world was round because the Church [of Rome] believed the world was flat. And so this belief was passed on word of mouth...

And we see how that ended...

wow so even theough there are no visible ears they still have internal ones??? I thought or was taught that they just went by vibrations

My bp Kaybe gets calmed down if i use a low soothing tone of voice when he's agitated (like if he needs to be soaked before shedding he freaks out but if i talk to him he calms down). Also when i get home i verbally say "hi Kaybe! Hi Pika! Etc" and Kaybe has sort of come to know his name over time and when he hears it he peeps out of his hide! Pika has yet to pick up on his name since ive only had him for 4 weeks

I'm glad she's warmed up to them too, I could do without the baby talk, I'm attributing more to the high frequency vibrations my mother can create with her screeching probably made my boa curious.. I have never seen a boa so inquisitive as she is

My grandmother who lives with my parents hates them with a passion and claims i simply have more money than brains I reminded her that she is also cold blooded and we keep her,

I also could do without the sickeningly sweet and painfully high pitched baby talk, it seriously hurts my ears! lol

And I LOVE that you said that to your grandmother, that's just too good!

My idea of "acceptable" baby talk is the same

Yeah baby talk (gaga gogo stuff) has always frayed my nerves so I never didn't do it with my son, and won't do it with my Granddaughter either. It's straight talk from the jump. I also don't believe in telling kids that they can be anything that they want to be because it's not always true; try as I may during my childhood, I never did become the Incredible Hulk. lol.They should have dreams and set goals but reasonable ones.
Life is not easy and it’s definitely not fair, so kids need to be tough, especially in these strange times we live in.

YEP! I think this causes the IQ's both the enfant and the adult to drop....
