To hardly be able to keep a straight face- even though it's terrible!

DD, 2.5, just said "fuck's sake"!

In context. I said "DD, you need to come here and get your pyjamas on." She said "Fuck's sake".

I asked her again, she repeated it.

We don't even really swear that often .

I didn't say anything, tell her off, laugh, nothing. I'm presuming this is the best thing to do at 2.5?

We're not doing too badly then, our 2.4 YO DD has only said 'Oh bugger'

No, the best thing to do is tell her she is not allowed to use that sort of language..

My dd (2.2) says "oh bollocks" every time she drops something. She says it in nursery too

My DS (2.8) is trying to say something, and it's coming out as "cunt". It cannot be cunt as it's the only swear word we don't use, but that sounds like a shitty excuse when I'm mumbling it to the disapproving queue in the Co-op.

No, ignore it. She's too young to explain it to.

If you don't mention it she will stop using it - use another phrase instead like 'pirates sing' or something and keep repeating it.

She may have said 'ducks sake' and never have heard the word fuck yet.

I know Squeakytoy, and I would if she was 4 maybe. But I just thought if I draw attention to it she would continue to say it (attention seeking), I'm not sure her understanding is up to that yet?? Although could be wrong....
I'm actually flummoxed at where she has heard it. DH doesn't swear, and I'd be more inclined to say something a but more "out there"!

Agree with squeaky, I tell her 'no, please don't say that' once while trying not to laugh and then ignore it.

She's only said it a couple of times so hopefully it won't be repeated at the checkout.

She said it after dropping something, so I was impressed by her genius intellect correct use of it regardless

Dd dropped a plate of food aged 3 and dead panned "oh bollocks"

Perfect context

DC3 says shites for tights and shit down for sit down. She has also repeated DH favourite phrase,fuck off,but pronounces it jug off. When she says it she is awaiting a reaction,gets none so quickly moves onto another naughty phrase.

my 2.7 yo DS said 'no mummy, no bugger me!' today. DH was then :o as luckily the context explained it (in DH's language, the word for digger is pronounced 'bugger' and DS took against his digger t shirt this morning ).

I think all you can do at this stage is ignore it tbh. DS went through a phase of saying 'bloody hell!' after I said it in front of him once. We tried to say 'don't say that' and he just kept on saying it, so we took to ignoring it, and haven't heard it since.

My ds misheard what I said to the cat when he was 2 or 3 and still calls people 'burgers' Best ignored and hope she forgets it!

I would just ignore it, at that age, if you don't react and she doesn't hear it again it will just vanish. That does rather depend on her not hearing it at nursery or whatever though. If she keeps saying it then I'd go with the 'I don't want to hear that again, it's not nice'. Even when they are quite small they seem to understand that.

No id ignore it, and not even address it either, I swear, being Scottish it is sort of inherited in my, however I now have changed my obscenities to child friendly ones, but fortunately for me, my dc dont pick up the child friendly language, who are 2 and 6. -I'm very lucky--

And I was when my son said frack...

She had no idea it was naughty at all, you could tell. I asked her to come away from what she was doing and she was unhappy about it.

She has no idea it's a bad thing to say, that's why I wanted to not mention it, and hope she forgets and obviously watch ourselves!

I could understand a telling off if she understood it, and continued to use it.

Hopefully it won't happen again and I won't have to deal with it!

Loving "jug off" whoevers LO said that!

Ds aged 8 nearly 9 grassed his pal up for saying the "F" word at school.

he explained to me that "dean had said the "F" word, you know mum, how we say trump...he said the "F" word"....meaning fart!!
"OH" says i...THAT "F" word!!!

sheesh, sheltered ds...

Oh D0G- that IS funny! Actually made me giggle out loud.
Tightwad- Love your DS, clearly he needs to play with my DD to open his eyes to the perils of real life

Dd also 2.5 started saying "Fucks Sake" just this week join the club! She has said it all appropriate times, tonight it was because she stood on and broke her fairy crown.

Am trying distraction and ignoring and replacement words, so far not a success.

My nephew had trouble with saying his F's when he was younger, his brother and sister used to point out every flag when they were out and about to get him to say "slag" bless him

DD used to say "oh dudda" - thank goodness she couldn't say 'b' or 'g' or it would've been much more obvious!

I then taught her to say "oh, mooses" in an exasperated voice :o

My dd 5 called a picnic basket a pissnic basket today.

She thought that this what it was called, it wasn't something she overheard!

I remember my dd when she was about 5 put a note under her brothers door saying "for facks sake" we had no idea why and have kept it to taunt her with when she is older.

ledkr how I love your dd hilarious.
