20 months but that's because I forget how many at this point. Now I say "He'll be 2 in August".

By 2 I stopped counting months. But whenever we sign up for a library program they always ask how many months he is. They said they do that until 48 months. Grrrr....

Same.

I posted this same thing a few years back, lol. I hate when people say anything over 24 months because at that point I have to start doing math in my head and I"m terrible at math!! Chat Icon

Definitely not after 2. Up to 18 mos definitely, after that it depends on the situation. I also find it ridiculous after 2 - if specifics are needed (e.g. when a child was potty trained, bc months do make a difference) I'd say "2 years, 4 mos" ... but that's only for specific reasons.

I feel silly saying 15 months. I'm just going to say 1.5 because I can see people counting in their head when I tell them

Re: at what age do you stop saying "my ____ month old"

oh goodness, this is a HUGE pet peeve of mine! lol. I stopped at one and then went on to answer people with "turned one in March", "one and a half", "almost 2 in a few months". Now that she's 2 and 4 months I just simply answer "Two".

When I worked at my old daycare, I had a woman call about her son. I asked how old he was (to figure out which class he'd be put in and if we had openings there) and she told me something like 37 months. There was a lonngggg silence as I sat there trying to hurry up and do the stupid math and then finally said "Ok, so, he's THREE." Chat Icon Saying it in months won't keep him a baby. lol

Re: at what age do you stop saying "my ____ month old"

I'm thinking of stopping with my 75 month old when he's around 120 months old. Gotta let them grow up eventually!
