Baby talk from adults

[TheWernethWife]

Just seen a FB message to a friend who is having a baby. Someone (a grown woman) has put "congratulations on your ickle baby" wtaf ickle, words fail me.

Phahaha is my only resonate to that I'm afraid

Response lol

No. Just no. Adults using 'ickle' or moo cow, or doggie should be rounded up...

I thought this was going to be about baby talking to your kids. Baby talking anywhere else is creepy

There's actually a pram range named "Ickle bubbas" .

I don't know how people can be seen pushing that in public, I'd be mortified.

Pffff. If it's your baby and it's directly in front of you then occasionally it's OK. I do it to my cat occasionally. But on a Facebook post? Pffff.

Me too, had a whole rant about language development ready to go! This isn't unreasonable, there is no reason for adults to speak to other adults like this. It's the same type of person who insists on calling new parents 'mummy' and 'daddy' instead of their actual names, yuck.

Just about manageable with small children (and people who love their pets too much ).

Adults saying it to adults. No.

It's like 'getty ups' e.g. 78 getty ups until our holiday.

Creeps me out.

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who say "bokkle/likkle/hospikal" ughhhhh my skin is crawling just thinking about it!!

I always cringe when I see luffs on here.

I think you need to get a grip tbh.

People say much much worse things on Fb.
