to ask you whether your child swore at you. Because he/she had picked it up from nursery.

Next door neighbours child is three and swears. A lot. Fuck off you fat bitch she said.

Looser pants and cock was as bad as it got for us, and that was definitely picked up from nursery.

If my child picked up language like that at nursery, I'd be looking for a new nursery. Far more likely she hears it at home. Which is sad. I swear like a navvy but not generally in an abusive fashion and I do try to curb it in front of the kids.

No because we swear at home, but I know they learnt things like 'your pooey/dirty' at nursery, was quite obvious as DH and I don't really use those phrases, unsurprisingly.

They both tried it once!

My 2 yo DD says truck all the time, loves them and cars, trains, boats. She can't say TR though, says F instead.

Yup. Not to that extent though. Actually DS took to screaming bloody hell after walking past a particularly irate man in a hospital.

Thankfully my children never did this. Probably because they had heard me swear accidentally and had already been told that they can't do it. My 12 year old went through a brief phase of saying 'damn' when he first started secondary school, but that's stopped now.

I've told him he can swear when he knows accurately what every swear word means and when he can tell exactly when it's appropriate and when it's not. And even then, I don't want to hear it.

No. One of them once mentioned how another child has used a naughty word but I've never heard a peep from either of them.

I've never sworn in front of them though so they're probably not very tuned into swear words yet.

I understand Freddos. I was a bit catbum face but maybe I am d fadhioned lime an d dinosaur :( I swore at my Mother after hearing it at school.

Personally I'd be less interested in what the 3yr old said and more interested in how the recipient responded?

DM works in a nursery

She got called a cunt by a 3 year old

She cried. No one had ever called her a cunt before and hearing it from a 3 yeard old :( She said the way he said it sounded like he heard it used pretty aggresively as well :(

Horrible. :(

To be fair Sole, if a three year old said something like that, I think I'd be a bit more than a bit catbumface! 'Fuck of you fat bitch' from a three year old is , and I know a lot of three year olds!

That's nothing like a child hearing the occasional swear word and learning about there being a concept of bad language.

Catgirl that's awful!
My 2 year old said 'shit' in context several weeks ago which I'm afraid he may have heard from me he now knows it is naughty and we don't use words like that.

mine came home saying "I want a smoke, can I have a light". Definitely did not pick that up anywhere but nursery, we don't smoke and he doesn't ever see anyone smoking, I doubt he even knows what smoking is!

fuck off you fat bitch is horrible, I'm pretty immune to what I suppose I call "normal" toddler swearing like bum bum willy head etc

I was catbums face on the outside but inside felt it was awful. Her Mother reoeated what she had said I.front of her DD and I got the impression she was expecting me to laugh.
