I have concluded it speaks to some emotional ineptness in the person. The particular case I am recalling the person's life had been one crisis after another and this baby talk in adult conversation was a way of keeping the conversation cute and not confrontational. The way some men use sarcastic humor constantly to avoid revealing conversations. Its like a wall that keeps them safe. How sad for people to build walls between themselves and the world. But, in some cases, maybe it's the only coping mechanism they have. I hadn't looked at it from that angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't like confrontation, but they are surrounded by unresolved conflict, and when they do get angry it is extreme. When they come back and apologize they use the "baby talk"..."I'm sowry...can u forgive me?" To the observer you really begin to realize with what you are dealing.

Please be courtesy and dont go to the supervisor.. If she doesn't listen to you, then return with 2-3 other workmates to let her know about it as the Bible says. Then if there is a problem.

(only joking) Not quite sure, but I have a friend(who is 50) and she's like that too! She is a school teacher too(so maybe that's why!) She sounds a little querky to me. Hey - do you remember Cindy in the Brady Bunch when she had that lisp? The kids teased her at school and said this little jingle, "Baby talk, baby Talk - it's a wonder you can walk!!"

I do remember that the Bible says we are supposed to deal with such people by by consensus. Where's Fresno Joe when we need him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be annoying but it's not a sin. I wonder if she's just overly maternal and feels comfortable enough in the office to 'mother' in this regard. I would try to just work on it myself first and see what becomes of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
