mommies who blog / caption as the third person, i.e. their baby(ies) or child.
for example :
"Hi uncles and aunties! my name is !Xiloxi! and i am just a couple of weeks old, so forgive me if i sound a bit childish! i just wanted to tell you that it wasnt fun at all to shoot myself out of mommy. but hey! i'm here now and shit, this world is a scary place but i'm sure i'll get used to it in no time. okthnksbye. see you again, maybe next time i'll tell you about my poop."
i know some of the mommies on my blog list do this and they seem to think that it's cute to make it seem like their child is speaking personally to their readers. it's bad enough that they'd sometimes use baby-blabbers to their readers, now their child is talking directly to us? i know that it's your blog and you have the perogative and right to do whatever you want with it, therefore i am terribily sorry if i offend you with my humble opinion.
seriously mommies, we know that your child doesnt know how to talk yet (unless your child is a miracle baby : A Born Genius ... then good on ya!) so you think it's okay to give your child a voice by writing on their behalf? like as if you can read their minds and say what they're thinking? OMG! if you're truly a baby mind reader*, then please come over to my house because you need to help me tell my daughter to stop shitting while she's eating.
maybe we come from diffrent school of thoughts, but i strongly believe in giving my child her own voice, and let her speak and stand up for herself when the time comes, not before. she doesnt need anyone, not even her own mother, putting words into her mouth.
but that's just what i think.
* nooo i didnt google 'baby mind reader' to find if there's such thing in the world, i am actually in the midst of reading his book.

"Hi, i woked up the other night for my susu, i took a peek out of my baby cot and i saw mammy and daddy doing something to each other. i dont know what they were doing but mammy and daddy groan alot, i almost cried"
LOL @ Gigantor.
Please do not say it stemmed out of your childhood traumatic experience.
not exactly.
"mama, smalam nampak orang makan hotdog besar kat tv tapi papa suruh tutup mata with bantal"
true story.
thanks for oversharing, buddy.
lish, maybe next time u shud write smthing abt parents putting their hardly-talking babies on the phone for their friends to hear and NOT by request. so annoying! i slalu kena with my friends yg dh ada baby plus my sisters too but i dun have the heart to say that i pay the phone bill to talk, not to coo!
hahah. betul, annoying gak tu. i do that too with my baby (by request from grandma/grandpa/daddy on the other end, by the way). it's just really funny to see the baby holding the phone, belek2 trying to figure out where the voice came from. pastu boring, masuk dalam mulut.
but you're right, it is annoying sebab the people on the other end kena coo the baby to no end macam orang gila, lagi annoying when we're in public places like the food court or lrt, kan?
*ouch* I have ONE entry on that (what Anya did on her bday).
Guilty as charged ;D
