check that....

Ok, so I was a little harsh yesterday on my blanket statement that I hate whenever ANYONE talks in their childs voice. I should clarify that it is only a select few that I converse with on a frequent basis at work. The cause of my desire to poke the closest thing to me stems mostly from the fact that this person constantly talks about her child as if it is the only thing to walk this great earth and therefore should manipulate every conversation. I caught myself last night using my daughters voice and realized I was a little too harsh. I do it on occasion as do most people I know. I will clarify...
my biggest pet peave (currently - they do happen to change based on the hormones raging through my body and how they react to outside people's habits) is when someone obsessively speaks in their child's voice. And by obsessive I mean they speak of their child almost every time their mouth opens. Any story can be turned around to somehow deal with their child and therefore lends itself to talking in their voice.
If I knew a word to describe this I would use it right now...but all I can think of at this point is EXASPERATING....
