First words : Sexy

[knittynoodle]

This isnt a major thing but I wanted some feedback because I think I might be being a bit OTT on this one.

Nephew has just started to talk. He can say maybe three or four words. DP's family have taught him to shout "sexy!" at the prompt of a wolf whistle.

Im just a bit about it really, it feels abit weird. And I dont want them to do the same with my DS so obviously these feelings are going to come out when hes at an age where hes talking! I know its a really minor thing! just want to do a straw pole!

[youarekidding]

I remember the German word for fat - had me and my DM is fits for hours when stuck outside a ferry port in a storm with a German family. I have never been so interested in discussing language in my life.

[diggingintheribs]

Widow - ditto!

Not helped by FIL thinking the English misunderstanding is a term of endearment!!

[knittynoodle]

DP came home and I mentioned it. Before Id even got started he said, no way is his son saying anything raunchy like that and he'll tell them so if they ever talk like that to DS.

[Relief]

[Andrewofgg]

Slobs.

[superjobeespecs]

my mum hates the word jobee she still tells me off for letting DD say it instead of poop but its only because it was easier for her to say when she was toilet training and my DH and i use it in an affectionate way on one another i am super jobee he is big jobee haha random mad moments in this house

[PrincessScrumpy]

totally vulgar! But then I wasn't happy when a friend's son who'd just stared school taught my dd (who was 2.5 at the time) to call people "smelly bum" and told her I didn't want to hear her saying it as it wasn't nice to say. She hasn't used it since but I have a feeling I'm probably quite strict about these things.

[WidowWadman]

I realised too late that the German word for "digger" might be misunderstood over here...

The sexy thing is completely inappropriate

[superjobeespecs]

our DDs first word was wee wee but it wasnt for a toilet it meant milk!! she used to do the baby sign language action for milk whilst saying wee wee totally adorable :):) forgot all about baby sign language have to teach bump the few words we did with DD

[LouMacca]

Just come back to thread to say that my DS first word was 'shoe' He was obsessed with them (can't imagine where he got that from!) He would play with a pair of shoes for hours!! We even looked for a shoe border to put up in the nursery.

[superjobeespecs]

um.. snogging i think is the right word? french kiss? toungue action

[TenthCircle]

Horrid, horrid. Not funny, seriously not funny.

[fuzzpigFriday]

Euwwww.

[mollymole]

it is awful and NO it is not 'a tiny bit funny'

[DirtyMartini]

What's a neckie?

[DirtyMartini]

yuck yuck yuck and depressing! They sound like a barrel of laughs YANBU

[superjobeespecs]

na thats not right that i'd hate that!! my nephews dad always says to him mon gi daddy a neckie it makes me sick and i still say it to him to this day that its just wrong on so many levels not only is it vulgar language but the action isnt much better, ppl are so obsessed with teaching kids things too early these days :)

[sims2fan]

Yuck, I hate it when people teach their kids inappropriate words thinking it would be funny. I know someone who taught their child to say 'shit' as a first word, and I once went for a walk with them and pointed out an anchor that was outside a pub. Toddler shouted 'Anchor!' as we went past on the way back and I was chuffed he remembered. Then his mum said, 'No DS, W-anchor, say wanker!' she though it was hysterically funny. Don't think she finds it quite as funny now he's 4 and gets into trouble at nursery school for swearing, which I did warn her would happen.

[valiumredhead]

Oh come one, it is a tiny bit funny

[youarekidding]

Think I'd rather DS said pig to me oinking if I felt the need to teach him new words/tricks.

My DS first word was 'luz' (light in spanish). That was a wierd one but at least he learnt it and wasn't taught it.

[Bigglewinkle]

What's wrong with 'tractor' or daddy being first words? Yanbu, I wouldn't want to tell my ds when he's older that one of his first words was sexy - I think he'd be embarrassed as well as me.

[elmofan]

YANBU at all .

[Moodykat]

Had to have a word I mean.

[Moodykat]

Ugh, thats just wrong! Mind you, I had to have a work with DH gran, SIL and indeed MIL about calling my DS a faggot. Apparently in the olden days it was a term of affection. I was, and still am, gobsmacked that people think things like this are ok! Its alright in the family where that word is never used in a negative context but in the wider world its all kinds of wrong!
So no, YANBU!

[JamieAgain]

Grim. He's not a performing animal.And really inappropriate too. They sound charming

[saffy85]

YANBU they're gonna learn the word at some point so why force it on them? What's the hurry?
