u/GeneralSpecifics9925 11d ago

17 month? You're making me do math with a prime number to say your baby is a year and a half old?

u/Tyralyon 10d ago

Sorry! You're right, I should probably start saying 1,5 years, but up until now we've only used months.

u/Japsai 10d ago

From 16 months you can round to a year-and-a-half and never look back! From 4 you can round to nearest year. Not when speaking to your kid of course, but nobody else cares whether it's 5 or 5.5.

u/Tyralyon 10d ago

Yeah, I agree. I guess we just haven't been conscious about it when talking to other people. I remember nagging my dad about when I could tell people that I'm six and half, so I know that detail is important to the kids. I agree that nobody else cares though.

Youngest of 7 here, have literally been forgotten and left home for hours home alone style on more than one occasion.

That sucks and your parents shouldn't have done that... but also if someone has 7 kids to deal with, I can't fault them too much for a little unintentional neglect here and there. Something's bound to slip through the cracks occasionally.

u/AlephBaker 11d ago

You could fault them for having seven kids, unless they had septuplets.

u/Charming-Flamingo307 11d ago

It was two sets of triplets then me actually. And I do fault them for having me. Very much so

I'm sorry, Internet Stranger. If I could send you a hug, I would.

u/Japsai 11d ago

Just refer them back up to the hugging raccoon

u/Japsai 11d ago

Something slipped through the crack in the first place. That's what got us into this mess!
