DSS is 2.6 and doesn't talk. He can say a few simple words like "hi", "wee wee" and "bye" but can't pronounce any other words properly if at all and he has around five or six words. He can't talk in sentences or even string a few words together and mainly stands looking at you while pointing and making noises.
I'm being told by all of DH's family that I am such a bitch for even suggesting being worried, boys are slower than girls, there's absolutely nothing wrong with him because MIL is a teaching assistant and knows all about this and I should just shut my mouth and stop giving opinions because I'm uneducated and not a doctor. I'm not giving opinions such as "OMFG DSS IS BACKWARD" just that at 2.6 it may be a cause for concern. He's around adults and children every day all of whom talk to him directly and try to engage with him and he seems like he wants to talk and tries but it's not working for him.
Since DH's ex won't do anything and DH's family are all completely opposed to the idea DH asked me to post here and ask for your opinion and essentially wwyd. I think he doesn't want to rock the boat or admit there could be a problem but at the same time it's becoming a concern.
AIBU to worry?
