Baby Talk

julie129

Standing outside my place of work today with some other female colleague and one male friend talking about house prices inflation etc the usual run of the mill conversation when one pregnant colleague joined the group immediately all the other women went into Mammy mode, touching the bump, outdooing each other with little anacdotes about their little darlings etc, complete medical history of pregnancies etc. Due to the fact that many of the women I work with are within the 20 - 30 age bracket and their always seems to be one or two about to produce, this type of thing happens almost every day, whilst just me and the male colleuge tried to contain our boredom and hide the yawns. As a mid thirtyish female and seemely the only one in the group bored out of their minds by this conversation Im beginning to wonder is it just me, is their something wrong here! or does anyone else find this type of talk "BORING"! Now I love my little dog but I know not too many other people are that interested in his bowel movements, how cute he looked this morning, what he ate, etc etc...

i was watching a program not so long ago, and they mentioned that it's inbuild into our brains to talk about our new-borns/young children. So, yes to me and others it's a boring subject because I/we have not yet had a baby.

I think it's the same for people with dogs and cats too.

@ OP;

There's a big difference between a little dog and a baby Bridget Jones ;-)

You have to be there to understand.

I dislike children.
They bring out the worst in us all.

Lord Nikon

I should have said it different.

When people start talking about their kids, others chime in about their kids.
When people talk about their dog/cat, other chime in with their little anecdotes.
