The author shares her frustration with her 27-year-old sister who constantly uses 'baby talk' instead of speaking like an adult. The family, including their mother, attempts to address the issue, leading to an interesting dynamic and eventual resolution.
When adults start acting like babies, it might be cute for a while, but it can get frustrating quite quickly. The poster’s 27-year-old sister, Alana, has always been infantile, but she has recently started using “ baby talk ” for most of her communication. The poster and her other sister, Este, find this very annoying, so they pretend they don’t understand what she says—but their mom is on Alana’s side.
On the poster’s birthday, when Alana simply refused to talk normally, she withheld the cake from her until Alana asked for it like an adult. Their mom always backed Alana, so the poster wondered whether she was wrong for calling her out and withholding the cake. The poster and Este have addressed this with Alana before, but she has always pulled the “but you do it with your kids” card. After advice from Redditors, the poster decided to talk to Alana kindly, like an adult—meanwhile, her mom also finally agreed that the baby talk was annoying. So, when faced with Alana’s “baby talk,” she pretended to be concerned, asking her whether she did it because she was no longer the youngest in the family. Alana was annoyed by this and said she had been doing it before the kids came into the picture, but this time, their mom sided with the poster. Finally, when the poster and their mom told her to stop, she begrudgingly agreed and the poster hoped that would be the end of it
