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?

My DB was telling me he had to tell his little girl, 4 off as she had used a naughty word. We where in the other room and my brother told me what she had said but lowered his voice instead of saying it again.

At which point niece comes in and says "no I didnt say "effing" daddy I said Daddy your room is such a fucking mess"

Which is was to be fair. I think she does hear alot of bad language and I don't condone it at all, luckily she has never said it in my direct care. She does always get the context spot on which does make me giggle slightly.

Kids will say it in context as they usually hear it in context..

I was at soft play the other day, sat at a table on my own while my kids jumped into the little cars for a ride.

Loud and clear comes a voice floating across the room: 'Oh blast it, I've stalled the car'.

It was my 3.5 yr old daughter. I was torn between mortification and hysterics.

Love this thread, absolutely hilarious :)

My DP has a rather colourful language but DD 5 always tells him off if in earshot with,

"Daddy we are ladies and don't need to hear that kind of language" bless.

However a year or so ago she went through a phase of asking me questions about Dr LipShits with a grin on her face...damn Rugrats!

The most I ever say is 'Oh my god', which she always replies

"Mummy, Father Geoff says we mustn't use the lords name in vain, try gosh instead"!

Op my dd1 sat in the bath at 2 /2 and sang row row the boat gentle down the stream and said of fuck of as part of the song. I ignored it and she never sang it with fuck off in it again any way = so it worked, I think.

She is 19 now and does occasional say fuck, but I don't think it was due to me ignoring those words back then..

DS (12 yo, and probably knows all the swear words but doesn't use them) says "What the Hell".
I say "No, DS ,say 'what the Dickens "

He was watching TV and the Heaven and Hell Show came on.
"Mum, shouldn't that be 'Heaven and Dickens'? " .
No-one likes a smart alec DS. Grin

DS is 2.8 and we have had once instance of "for fucks sake" about 3 weeks ago Blush
I said "bloody hell" when I caught my wrist on the oven and in response DS pipes up from the dining table "Oh for fucks sake" Shock.

Was mortified Blush

I am guilty of being a bit sweary, its a recent development since DD reached about 14 months and both the DCs now have lots of fun fighting over toys and with each other in a rather boisterous manner. they have driven me crackers over the recent wet weather, so glad to have some sun today!

OP - I also ignored it but do tell him off when he says "oh my god", we have replaced with "oh my goodness" in the style of the annoying kid from Annie. Tis working rather well. Smile

This one isn't swearing but was funny & is rude. DD was 3 & my ex taught DD & her 3yo friend the phrase "hey you! Pick up my poop!" the girls thought this was hilarious & often pointed at eachother shouting it.

So we're in the petrol station, lovely hot day so windows are open. A lady walks past & both girls point & shout at the lady 'hey you! Pick up my poop!' I ducked & pretended they were in the car alone. Blush
