No hablo espanol seƱor, muchos tacos jajajajaja
Seriously though I don't even speak Spanish
Apparently it's only acceptable in some places. 28% of people here speak spanish, but according to wikipedia the spanish here is different than other places since it's from the 16th/17th century, and I have never seen/heard mi hijo. Although, there are some people that use words like that without having any clue about spanish

It's essentially the same thing because of how Hispanics mix together words that end with and begin with the same vowel. So, mi hija --> mija. It's just how they pronounce it. I'm not sure I've ever heard an actual hispanic, not some white kid learning Spanish in high school, say "mi hija" or "mi hijo" drawn out before either.
Also I just realized my foolish omission of a word in that last post.

AFAIK mi hijo is the "proper" form and mijo is just the contraction, or at least that's what I remember from 7th spanish class :/
My class at least was taught to write it out, for the same principle as not using contractions in formal English

You're correct, "mi hijo" is the proper version, but like I said you'll almost never hear someone SAY "mi hijo", it'll always be abbreviated as "mijo".
