Was I being unreasonable to laugh at dh for this?

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

In the car, earlier on, ds1 (18) was describing a crash he had on his bike, at a skate park, when he broke his wrist - and was telling us how many times the word 'fuck' had gone through his mind before he hit the floor. Dh became a tad po-faced about the use of the word, so I may have used it a few times ("Boys - don't say fuck, because dad doesn't like you using the word fuck and thinks it is fucking rude for you to keep on fucking saying the word fuck").

Dh started to tell us, in somewhat pompous tones, how, when he was a lad, out and about in the car with his parents, he wouldn't have dreamt of using That Word in front of them - and suddenly a car nearly pulled out in front of us on the roundabout, almost hitting us, and forcing dh to swerve. Dh shouted, "FUCKWIT", - and the rest of us fell about in helpless fits of laughter at the irony. It took him a while to see the funny side.

My apologies PeneloPee. I did misunderstand what you were saying. I would agree that anything that uses the first 4 words of TARDIS would be disablist. But that fuckwit is a fabulous swear word!

absofuckinglutely

I am being really dense I Know, but first 4 words of TARDIS? Eh?

YANBU at all, I would bring up quite often too just to rub it in a bit more!

Tard? Sweary, who knew?

Ahhh - I comprehend now PeneloPee. I do sometimes need things explained slowly and in small words.

Dh is pleased that some people have told me off for using too many f-words in front of the dses and encouraging them to do the same. I, on the other hand am happy that some people don't think I am a bad mother, want to share my maltesers and naughty corner, have offered me chips (thanks LittleMissFlustered - will swap maltesers for chips ), and that people have laughed at my thread - so everyone is happy here - thankyou!!

Hahahahaha!!! Thank you op for the laugh!!!

First four words of TARDIS? Time And Relative Dimensions? Damn you guys know more inventive swearing than I do

Sorry, first four letters! Cooking dinner with one hand and typing with the other!

Have never seen anyone describe "fuckwit" as disablist on here - not saying that it hasn't happened but perhaps Kayano could point out where?

the tardis word and 50% wit, yes - both disablist and unpleasant - but not fuckwit. Perfectly sensible and useful word.

Mental rather depends on context, I find.

Your story made me laugh OP. On the topic of swearing in front of DC's this article in Sat's Guardian made me laugh too:

Fucking funny!

I read this thread a few minutes ago, chuckled and then went right back to having a nosey at the rest of the site. I thought nothing further of this thread.

I only realised that this thread had influenced me several minutes later when my cat ran into the living room with his latest piece of thievery from the kitchen (a bit of yorkshire pud!). Instead of my usual response of "Oh Earl, what have you got now", in quite a resigned voice I suddenly erupted with "Oi Earl, What the fuck, You're a fucking disgrace!!!".

I couldn't believe it myself and it took me a second to figure out where that had come from. I then collapsed into hopeless howls of laughter. I'm now going to stop reading mumsnet until I return to my normal, clean speaking self :).

On the plus side, it frightened the cat so much he left his bounty on the rug and ran upstairs. :)

Thanks for the best laugh I've had in ages :)

Foxtrottango - I'm glad I gave you a laugh, and I am sorry for Leading you into Bad Ways. To be honest, this is the first time in my 46 and a half years that I have ever been a bad influence - I feel strangely proud.

OP, your post gave me a good giggle.
So no, I don't think you were unreasonable to laugh at your DH at the time.

We don't swear at home, and DD's have little exposure to swearing (we think). DD2 (6) came home last year and told us that pointing a finger was very bad. I asked why, and she told me 'it means the F word'. I couldn't figure out what she meant, until she stuck up her middle finger to show me. Well, I was knotted holding back the laughter. Seems this came up in the playground. Poor DD1 (8) had no idea what DD1 was on about.
