Before that I used months. And now I say 3, even though he's got a few more weeks. catlady on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131904 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:42:06 +0000 catlady 2131904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ In real life, I've switched over to saying 1.5 years but here I still use months. :) 2PeasinaPod on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131901 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:38:19 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2131901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used months up until 18 months and only occasionally after that.

Maybe at 18m I'll start using 1.5 and then almost 2, etc. Saying 1 just seems not descriptive enough. There's just so much change between 12m and 16m and 19m, etc. californiadreams on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131861 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:05:13 +0000 californiadreams 2131861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ it depended who i was talking to. typically with other parents i would use months more often after the first year. with someone who was just asking to be polite or make conversation in passing, i would say he is 2 or prior i might say he is "just over one and a half"...something like that. since he passed 25 months, i just say he is 2 because unless i think and count, i can't remember how many months he is anymore! artsyfartsy on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131860 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:04:10 +0000 artsyfartsy 2131860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I will stop with months after 2. Although it felt awkward to me to say "13 months" to someone last night who asked. I might say "just turned one" or "almost a year and a half". DH hates saying months and thinks we should have stopped at 1 year.

The math of months gets tricky for all parties involved! Today a grandma in my daughter's music class told me her granddaughter was 22 months old - judging by size, vocabulary and behavior that didn't seem possible (it's much more likely she was at least 2.5, or 30 months.) Maybe she meant 32?!? mrskc on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131502 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 20:45:40 +0000 mrskc 2131502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ After he turned 2 I just say he's 2.

I use months and half months now (he's 6.5 months) and I think I'll continue to use months until he's 18 months. After that, months seems weird to me (although I totally get that it's normal to use them until 2-3 years).

I was at the park today and asked another mom how old her daughter was and she told me in months. Then someone else without kids asked her and she said one and a half and I thought it was funny.

A male co-worker who has no children asked today how old "the children" are. I just replied "not quite a year & a half." I'll probably stop using months once they're 2. lawbee11 on "Do you use months when telling people your LO's age?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-months-when-telling-people-your-los-age#post-2131247 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:45:46 +0000 lawbee11 2131247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ If they have kids I'll say months. If not I'll say 1 1/2.

I was just browsing online for swimming classes and one was 0-36 months and embarrassingly enough I had to sit and figure out how many months my oldest was. I had someone tell me their kid was 50 some months once...still haven't done the math on how old that kid is.
