I find as a parent that I speak in the 3rd person...a lot.
As I narrate the world to A, I tell him that "Mommy" is going to do something. I don't tell him that "I" am going to do anything. Why is that? I mean, he knows that I am him mommy, and we should probably work on some pronouns, but I just can't get out of the habit...I really just can't stop. I sometimes even find myself talking that way to my husband...now that is just wrong.

Isn't that weird? Do others do that? Am I alone here?
What kind of things do you say as a parent that you never thought imagined would come out of your mouth? Check out what other's have to say this week on Toddle Along Tuesday!
I do the same thing! "Mommy is going to go to the bathroom... alone." is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteI totally do that! And it drives me crazy!! I remember before I was a mom, listening to a friend talk to her daughter and thinking 'I will never do that!'. Uh huh... oops. "Mommy was a little naive" :)
ReplyDeleteI do that a lot too. Recently I made a conscious effort NOT to and I've noticed Leila is starting to use pronouns too.
