Like mother, like daughter!
Whoever said “like mother, like daughter” might have been on to something. MTV spoke to Teen Mom 2’s Chelsea (Houska) DeBoer earlier this week and found out that little Aubree is getting more and more like her mom each day! We’ve watched Aubree steadily turn into Chelsea’s mini-me over the years, but it sounds like the transformation might be close to complete because apparently she’s picked up one of Chelsea’s most iconic traits…
Chelsea's Little Quirk
Ever since Chelsea DeBoer (then Houska) first appeared on MTV, viewers noticed that the young mother had a very, uh, unique way of talking. Over the years, her "baby talk" has become a well documented phenomenon in the Teen Mom-verse. Fans constantly slam Chelsea’s willingness to whip out her high-pitched coo at the drop of a hat.
Here's the thing...
While many, many people out there (myself included) have a type of baby voice, for most people it’s reserved for actual babies and cute animals. The irritation that many fans seem to feel with Chelsea’s is that it is all too often used in every day conversations… with adults. Like her husband. And father. And anyone else around.
It doesn’t really bother me, but I get why people could find it grating.
Big News!
Let's be real, fans criticize a lot of things about a lot of the Teen Mom girls. Chelsea’s baby talk is small potatoes compared to some of the other offenses, but still… it has a tendency to rile people up.
Because of this, it might come as sad news to fans everywhere that Chelsea’s 7-year-old daughter Aubree has apparently followed suit.
Mini-Me
In a new MTV interview with DeBoer, she let viewers know that since the birth of her second child "Aubree has picked up on the baby talk." Does that mean we’re going to be getting double the high-pitched screen time next season? Maybe. But then again, it might be more than double…
Big Sister
Chelsea went on to say that not only has Aubree started to imitate her iconic cadence, but she’s "a million times worse."
The mother-of-two told MTV News that her daughter is eager to help with her new little brother, Watson, and usually opts for a baby voice when trying to comfort the infant. "It's really funny. She's always up in his face. If he's crying, she'll be like, 'Where is my Watson? This is not my Watson. My Watson's a good boy,'" Chelsea told the interviewer.
Good Sport
As usual, though, it seems like Chelsea is taking it all in stride. She’s never seemed ashamed or annoyed by criticism of her sometime infantile speech patterns. She’s even posted videos to social media that poke fun at her high-pitched voice.
Cutie
Besides, Chelsea seems to find Aubree’s newfound protectiveness over Watson and her adoption of her signature speech patterns cute— honestly, I think they probably will be. Aubree’s adorable and she’s actually a child herself, for one thing, so there’s something less jarring about her cooing at her little brother.
