Examples... love is uve, you is ooh, xlyophone is ylophone, potty is poddy.
and then a sentence.... she will say grandpa i want a wagon(hehehe i taught her that) which sounds like rampa i ant a wagin.

Now does she need speech lessons. comon freak! I said give her a break she is just starting to really talk and vocalize so give her a break! He then said the worst thing a dad can say... i expect her to be the best in everything! OMG! This girl is going to hate to go to dad if she has problems at school or brings home a bad grade because she couldnt understand something!

Im sorry but he needs a slap...sorry i feel better!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I don't think she needs speech therapy. There are days when I can't understand a word that Claudia has said and she sounds like what you wrote about Jenna. I honestly don't know what he expects from her. Has he never been around children before?

ediep replied: I think that you should tell him that her ped would know if she needs speech therapy..... and since the ped hasn't suggested it, and Aron isn't a doc....his opinion doesn't really matter

ian'smommy replied: Oh my!! Jenna is absolutely normal!!! How old is she exactly? I don't think I remember. But anyway, I can tell you with confidence that she is normal and as she gets older, her pronunciations will improve.... At certain ages children can't pronounce certain letters in words. It is normal, but it changes. Give her some time and her pronunciations will get better. I'm sure I can find a guide line that I can post for you on where she would typically be on pronunciation.... No worries. She is just fine... Ian is 2 1/2 and this is how he says hamburger. ---hanimer.... We aren't worried... We find it amusing... In time it will change all by itself... I will look for a speech guideline chart for you....

Here is a link for you... It is warning signs of a language problem... If Jenna is doing most of these things at her age level, there is nothing to worry about...
If I find anything else, I will get that to you as well..... Good luck...

mammag replied: I think the worst part is what he said about wanting her to be the best at everything. That is just terrible. Expect her to do her best but not be the best. My sister seems to have that attitude with my niece and it makes it so tough for her. Then it seems like she doesn't want to try certain things because she might not be "the best".

Josie83 replied: Oh my gosh! Shelleye, i will slap him for you I think he should more proud of the fact that she is stringing together four or five words for a sentene as opposed to the act her pronunciation isn't spot on! Like you say she is just learning, she is still such a baby! believe me, you have nothing to worry about because Cassie is three and starting nursery next week and although she has a really good vocabulry and speaks in complex sentences, her pronunciation is not very accurate and she substitutes a lot of sounds, like y for th and t for c etc. Just ignore the idiot and know that you are doing a great job parenting your little girl!

And as for being the best at everything . . . please! Surely her being happy is all that should ever mater? to you xx

A&A'smommy replied: He is such a jerk!!! I cannot believe that he made that suggestion! Jenna does NOT need speech therapy He needs a reality check!!

My2Beauties replied: What a butthole! Jenna is just fine, tell him he needs therapy for his brain problems Sorry Shelly but you know Aron is a sore spot for me, I clench my teeth everytime you post a OMG another stupid Aron story because the cockamamie things he comes up with get on my nerves!

Josie83 replied:
I think he and his parenting gems are a soft spot for this whole BOARD xx

mommy2owen replied: That sounds totaly normal!

mummy2girls replied: Thanks guys! i know she is right on track it just irritates me because he is NEVER happy!

he complains she doesnt say anything but now that she is he is mad because she cant speak like us... he was mad because she wouldnt use the potty but now that she is he is mad that she is not completely potty trained.... he was mad because she wouldnt walk but now he is mad because all she does is move and wont sit still.

ian'smommy replied: Sounds like he needs to take a chill pill and let his daughter develop gradually. She isn't EVER going to be perfect and to expect her to be is very unrealistic. He needs to let her be a child.... Good luck with that... Maybe he needs to come to one of her doctor appointments to have the doctor tell him to his face that she is completely normal....

Kaitlin'smom replied: I will smack him for you, he needs to chill out. Alot of what Kaitlin says is not perfect and most times I have to translate for DH. Glad she has such a good mommy to help out now and later cause she sure wont want to go to dad if he acts that way....

kimberley replied: there really is no end to his stupidity! Jacob was mispronouncing some things until he was 6yo and never needed a speech therapist. he grew out of it. i think you are doing a wonderful job with Jenna (no thanks to Aron!) and you should tell him to stuff it where the sun don't shine!
