So the kids are around 3 years old. So developmentally they shouldn’t be able to talk fully, more like cute kid lisps and barely able to use scissors bubble wands. Hmmmm..... I knew that these Chinese stories were super inaccurate with kids being beat up and made to do the absolute impossible (unless they were a super super genius), but man it’s just stup!d the expectations put on them. I mean it’s crazy. The author could have done some research, whatever.... I’m a little done with this.

Development of children depends on the adults around them. If you talk "baby talk" to the child, it's speech will be delayed. Case in point, I knew a seven year old who would say "ife" instead of "knife" because her grandmother thought it was "soooo cute" she mispronounced words. It took me about six months to retrain the child. It always gets on my nerves when I hear people coo at a baby "yes her is, yes her is". That baby will still laugh if you talk properly.

True, but we are looking at a three year old who is hated, blamed, and belittled for the things she cannot do or has supposedly done. Also, adults shouldn’t baby talk with children, they learn by hearing and to talk as they do when they are trying to learn and copy doesn’t help, but again ‘3’. At 4, fine, I can see the child being able to do more things, but three is pushing a lot of things. I’ve seen parents baby parents baby their children and the child suffer for it (can’t hold a spoon on his own well, cannot speak properly for his age, the boy eats mush), but the same can be said the other way around too, if expectations are pushed to the extreme, beyond what they are or should capable of. Again it’s another thing if they are able to, but that doesn’t amount to the majority, there’s a reason why researchers have defined milestones for development.
Yup, negative 100% seems right. I would think the same, especially if I just met the guy and he apartment does this with other girls too. Romance is important.
