to be angry people don't care about what they infront of other people's children.

so.....someone has taught my toddler the 'p*' word.
I live in a very multicultural place and he goes back to nursery soon where there are Asian children , so its bloody marvelous timing too.

I feel the same about people who teach other peoples kids to swear.
because it is me, who will have to deal with the embarrassment when/if he yells and points it in the street and people will assume I've taught him this, as people do. I have to think of a way to teach it out of him as well which will be bloody great as he has SN regarding speech anyway.

AIBU to be so angry?

my DD picked up the p word at 3.3, not long after she started at a very multicultural nursery

I had a word with the nursery staff, very embarassed, not sure where she had picked it up from but that we were correcting her

turned out she had picked it up from nursery where one of the little boys was calling all the muslim boys pi b**s!

I was very very

That is awful.
Who do you suspect taught the word? A relative?

(P.S. I must say I lived in Yorkshire from 1980 to 2002 I certainly don't think it is a normal thing to say there, for any generation.)

at my DDs nursery it was one of the fathers

actually in some areas of yorkshire, the term 'p*' is a very normal thing to say

I know groups of young men who refer to each other using the term

the local shop is often called the p shop

it's not unusual which when I moved her I was very shocked by and I still refuse to use the term, but you do hear it regularly in parts of Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield

I'm from the real dreggs of south yorkshire, i'm afraid its a very normal thing to hear.

yeah I suspect its a rel, the thing it doubt they have sat there and said 'say paki' but due to regular use has picked it up.

sorry p*'
