Our toddler used to repeat words we said and now won’t do that, he is 19 months.

Anyone with similar experience? Anything you did which helped?

I had 2 late talkers. My advice is to keep talking to them, reading to them, singing to them, and give it time. Both of them started talking in full sentences a little past their 2nd birthdays out of nowhere.

Middle one started talking fully at 15 months. We didn’t do anything different, and they’re all doing well in school.

Long way of saying I have no idea, but patience almost always works.

I’d also say if you are concerned, talk to the pediatrician. Have you noticed other changes in behavior?

Took my 19 month old to a speech therapist at the recommendation of our pediatrician recently. He says a few words but mostly communicates via sign language and sounds which are like words (basically his own language?). They said he’s got all of the tools but has an issue connecting thoughts to words. Started putting him in front of a mirror and talking to him as recommended and it’s worked well. They also recommended focusing on vowel sounds and making sure to say good job when they make an attempt to say the words.

FWIW I'd say give it a few months, our daughter was the same way around that age and is now just over 2yo and has a bigger vocabulary than ever. Just keep engaging them. Don't think you need to jump to the conclusion that speech therapy is necessary at this point.

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit).

I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket?

Thoughts?
