swearing

[ksmum]

My daughter aged 2 has started to say 'oh god' and I have realised it is my fault. I am really careful not to swear in front of her but I suppose I had not really though of this as swearing though I know it is to some people and I hadn't even noticed I said it. I don't think I say it that much anyway but she ahs said it a few times. She has said shit once before immediatley after I banged my head on a cupboard door and I just ignored that and she never said it again. B ut this has become part of her vocabulary and I don't want it to be. Should I tell her not to say it or will that just make her say it more. Or ignore and be careful never to say it myself and hope it goes away?

start saying on a very frequent basis 'oh gosh' or 'oh golly'

but not 'oh fuck'

she'll forget if you stop using it. If you make a big issue about it she will remember whenever she is having a tantrum and wants to gain your attention!
been there with ds! ignore ignore ignore!

Ok will just ignore and hope she doesn't say it in front of my Mum. though her pronunciation is a bit dodgy so she might not realise. She usually says oh my goodness, uh oh jungo and woops a daisy, none of which were in my vocabulary before I had a small. Will just need to be extra careful.
