Hi, has anyone got any pearls of wisdom on this subject please? My ex often talks to my 14 year old and her 11 year old sisters in the third person, ie)
'Daddy's tired ' ' when Daddy was growing up.' I find it intensely irritating when I hear him do it. It's as though he's talking to toddlers. I asked him why he did it the other day, but he seemed totally unaware of it. It comes across as very patriarchal and superior. Both his parents do it too- which is intensely annoying. They are also a very religious family, although my ex is not religious.
