3yo DD keeps saying something really weird

That's just weird! & him being a Teacher too.

If my Child ever asked us to 'Guess what' we'd answer them 'Tatypot' was just a daft saying we said that we'd all laugh at. Try saying it to your DD when she asks you 'Guess What' it'll not give her the chance to say anything if you reply to her before she says anything.

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for explaining, and I can see that this is difficult for you.

I'm just wondering if there's more to this?

If I'd said to any of my kids as toddlers, 'Hey, guess what? AIDS' - they wouldn't have understood a joke? It would just have been a word to them.

You both sound immature. Why are you also teaching your daughter to say silly things?

@nellyroser ok report away.
By the way - I have an autistic 16 year old too so I know plenty about struggles.
I still don't think jokes about AIDS are funny in the slightest though.
(or the "oh so hilarious" laxative story on your other thread)

@nellyroser considering you have started your own thread about the struggle with your 16 year old autistic child who apparently you think you could just "give up for adoption" I am not surprised you think this "joke" is in the slightest funny. You sound like the one that needs to grow up.

Bet you're expecting a lot of reaction to that.
Seeking attention???

Where is the joke in that? What an annoying idiot

I’d nip in the bud now. My BIL thought it was hilarious to teach my DD the word ‘loser’ when she was in nursery and my in laws would encourage it by laughing away when she would say it. As is usually the way it was me who got the emails, phone calls, talking tos from the school when she went around calling everyone there a loser and then had to get her out of the habit. Don’t let him use your kid for amusement like this.

AIDS isn’t really something to joke about. He’s definitely been inappropriate saying that in front of her

It definitely has because when I was 15/16 the boys I hung around with said this kind of thing
Also horrible things about Madeleine McCann.

Ugh.. well he sounds like an epic prick.

Teach her 'Guess What - Chicken Butt'..

Then theres:

Guess Why - Chicken Thigh

Guess When - Chicken Hen

Guess Where - Chicken Hair

Guess Who - Chicken Poo

That's about age appropriate for her... and it seems, him.

It is also really fucking annoying 😆

This!
and if nursery call you regarding her saying anything inappropriate I would direct them to him and say he’s the dickhead spouting this crap and he might actually listen to them, unfortunately you just got abuse when raising it!

Oh goodness! Even more reason for him to know better!!
and sorry for your loss

Sorry, fat fingers. Replace u with I!

Call me mean, but I'd also let the HT of the school know. If saying this to his own young dd, he is probably saying far worse to tbe pupils. As a HT myself I'd want a quiet word and be reminding him of school's staff code of conduct etc. We have enough problem with teenage boys being badly influenced by the revolting Andrew Tate and others. He needs to be a positive role model, not a duck.

I thought about name changing for this but never mind.
Weirdly and we never made sense of it dgs when in year 7 got excluded for shouting that out in a lesson.
Obviously we made sure he knew what a tit he was but I wonder if it has been a thing at any point for these fools

I'm not surprised he's your ex.

Hey OP - I just wanted to say that I would totally reclaim the insult aimed in your direction.

Every time I signed off or messaged him, I would refer to myself as "MHGGW". It's such a stupid insult that is totally out of kilter with your very reasonable objection that I'd start using it as my name, just to demonstrate that nothing he says has any power to hurt me. I would find it greatly entertaining to turn his insult back to him in this way. It's a great way to subtly say "fuck you".

Also like the PP suggestion about giving the nursery the heads up. I think a) it's actually really important you get ahead of the game here, nothing worse than them calling you in with a concern or even worse, reporting you to SS and b) if they find his use of this adult phrase concerning, they can then raise an objection.

I would probably also be getting some free legal advice to try and get away from the 50/50 arrangement. It doesn't sound as if it's in the best interests of your DD.

Maybe you could teach her to swap AIDS for ED. He might find it less hilarious.
