    When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to hear "oh, he is 27 months."

    There's a huge difference between 24 months and 35 months. Both are 2 years old, but a 24 and 35 month old have huge differences between them. It can be easy for people dealing with children to continue using months just to deal with these differences. We don't purposely (for the most part) carry it into casual conversation. It's just natural.

    most parents, not just mothers, I know go months until age 2 because of developmental milestones. a 16 month old can/should do different things than a 20 month old. It's science. Also, I think clothing sizes make a difference as well, 12/18/24/months...etc. I can't believe I actually answered this thread in a serious manner.

    Don't ask. Less math for us.

    You don't even have to make up a comment about how cute they are. We already know.

    This pretty much....it's a force of habit sometimes especially with all the doctor's check-ups they have when they're so little

    I didn't really do that after my daughter turned 2y.o. but I know I did periodically prior

    And why even ask? haha

    You are right. It has to do with milestones. OP, I had no idea that this was a serious irritant in our society. :laugh:

    I meant developmentally.

    Children develop so very quickly in those early years that there is a BIG difference between your average 2-year-old and your average 2-and-a-half-year-old. For people who work with little kids, hearing that you're getting a new 3-and-a-half-year-old in your preschool class (for example) gives you some helpful information about the child's likely developmental skills and maturity. At those early ages, a few months can make a big difference. Now, if a parent says their kid is 86 months old, there's no need for that. That's just silly.

    Yeah If that annoys you, you should probably stick to chatting up girls without children. We really don't need anymore disinterested males sniffing around.

    When I ask how old your toddler is, I don't need to hear "oh, he is 27 months." He's two will do just fine. He's not aged cheese. And I didn't care in the first place. - Thanks for letting me rant.
    I hear you. I hate when people don't automatically know what my personal preferences and communication style are before I speak to them. Don't they know how important I am? Geesh!

    A+
