DS teacher called me into the classroom after school today to tell me that DS had used the F word after assembly. She said she had a stern talk with him and if it happens again he'll be sent to the headmaster. I was obviously a bit shocked - we don't use this language at home, well at least not in front of him! I asked DS why he said it and he wouldn't answer so I waited until we had left school to ask him again. He said he was singing Beat It and Michael Jackson says fucking, I told him that he actually says funky (I think!). I could understand his confusion and told him not to say it again. Obviously I don't think children should be swearing but I don't see the point in making a big deal out of it - he'll almost certainly be swearing when he's a teenager and as an adult. The teacher was obviously right to reprimand him but does it make me a bad parent to think that its not a big deal in this instance?

AIBU?
To think my 5 year old saying the F word isn't that big a deal?
