To want the people in charge of telly not to make my three year old swear?

[bupcakesandcunting]

I'm sure that the trailer for the new Meet the Fockers (Little Fockers) ought to be on after the watershed. My DS aged 3 has spent the entire holidays shouting "Little Fockers!" and is showing no interest in stopping and he's back at school tomorrow

AIBU in thinking that this shouldn't be shown when kids are lurking? It IS funny but I would bet my bottom dollar I'll be called in for a word with the teacher tomorrow...

bupcakes....try the normal word as a naughty one, it really worked for us. And I honestly wouldn't have anything other than cbeebies around such a small child. Commercial channels are the work of the devil and breed consumerism and are generally shit.

yeah let her watch eastenders so much more cultured

that's not either, I really think that. American cartoons are full of stupid, jerk, doufus etc

Eastenders is on cbeebies? What is the world coming to?

usualsuspect, nor would I.

The kids were shouting it loudly for about half an hour outside the club which happens to be next to the police station. Our local bobbies are lovely and often pop in for a cuppa and let the kids play with the lights on the cars etc

Oh come on! Cbeebues gets a bit much when you've had it on for days on end due to being snowed in. There have been some lovely Christmassy films on c4 too. I know I should have ben making fusili necklaces with DS but have had gland infection [woe is me emoticon]

PMSL at Thankyou Wankyou !

Ps agree about American cartoons. CITV is banned in this house. I'd let DS eat crack before let him watch Ben 10

AIBU to think that anything with the word "Fox" in needs to be post watershed?

Don't be a dingbat

Oh, believe me, Fox in Socks takes on a whole new meaning...

Definitely teach him to say 'fecker' instead, Father Ted is much cooler.

You could always switch off.

Switch off!? -does not compute-

Um! Aren't you in charge of the tele?

Yes I am in charge of the television. What's your point?

Switch it off and change your name before he learns to read properly.

Tele is the root of all evil bupcakes ..everyone on mn knows that

Yawn. It must be very dull being you.

Simple answer is not to let a 3 year old watch anything but Ceebeebies, tbh. Don't see why tv aimed at adults should be censored so it's appropriate for a 3 year old until 9 pm. 11 year old maybe, but 3?

Seriously, am I the only one who let my child watch the Christmas films on c4 over the holidays and possibly disappeared off to put washing on/make beds whilst child was watching? I can't sit doing organic crafts all the time. One does not have the funds to buy one some domestic help. I must do better...

DVDs. Happy Feet and The Snowman. Problem sorted. Finding Nemo is apparently terrifying, though. "THE SHARKS," he wailed.

Also, how can crafts be organic? I'm curious now.

Ps thankyou to the MNers who took this thread for what it was rather than an opportunity to lecture me on superior parenting :)

Ooh, passive aggressive smily! Bonus cunt points. :)
