Why won’t you talk to me?

I am a SAHM because I lost my job when my baby was 3 months old (now she’s 8 months old). I talk to my baby the whole day. I am so scared that because I don’t talk to an adult the whole day, my baby would not learn how to talk to another human being. So when I meet people and they talk to my baby, I wish they’d also talk to me so she could learn to communicate with others. <br><br>For example, when I meet someone, I say “Hi”, they respond with a “hi”, then they start cooing the baby, completely ignoring me. I feel like I’m a prop to them, a prop to make their day bright. I’m not mad or anything, I just wish they’d also talk to me so my baby sees how people also communicate with adults.
