To wish ds hadn't said his first word

[ariane5]

Ds2 (13mths) has been very slow with talking. Babbles a bit mama/dada but NOTHING else, won't say bye bye or wave. Nothing.

I have been trying so hard to encourage him to talk and say his first proper word.

Today he did and it was....... "Arse"

Over and over again. All day

The poor little thing is trying to say "yes" we worked out as if we say "yes" he copies it with "arse" and he's so pleased with himself.

I was desperate for him to say his first word and now I wish he hadn't (or at least that it had been something else)

AiBU

DS couldn't pronounce the word quack for ages it always came out as wank. We all thought it quite hilarious until, one very sunny Sunday afternoon, at National Trust property he screamed at the top of his voice "Mummy Mummy the ducks are wanking". We got a fair few cats bum faces staring back and I cringed until we got into the car. It'll be a great story for him when he is older and three years later I can see the funny side.

dd1 used to shout "COCK!" gleefully too - there was a big town hall clock visible when we were on the way to "GAY GROUP!!!"

DD use 'shit' interchangeably for 'shoes', 'socks', 'sit', 'snake' and more puzzlingly 'fish'.

She will be a genius I tell you ....A GENIUS.

DD2 is 2 and "fork" is always "fuck".

Apparently I used to say "shit" for "sheep".

We try not to swear in front of the DC's but DH is terrible when he's driving. I could've died when DS1 called DD1 a "f*ing d**k" at my mums, I could quite happily have strangled DH for that little gem.

DD (22 mo) has taken to loudly chanting out a very racist word beginning with 'n', it is not something we would ever say and we don't have a TV so I can only assume she just 'made it up' and likes the sound it makes.

Desperately trying to encourage her to chant something similar but less offensive and hoping this passes very quickly...

Ah that's so funny. D cannot say 'st' it comes out as 'd'
Cue much hilarity in the woods as he is shouting 'look mama I've got a really big stick!'
Fork is also dork and spoon is doom. Dork and doom, it's like some freakin double act.

My DS was practising his counting as we walked down the road. Sadly he did it my saying 'one car', 'one car', 'one car' over and over again! (say out loud)

My first word was nowhere near as funny as these. It was 'meow'.

I like cats.

Ds2 has obviously found his voice!

This evening he said "hot" when I picked up my tea (I always say "hot" to him as he always reaches for it). Then he kept repeating "hot, hot , hot, arse arse, hot"!

Oh I am crying here!!!

My nephews first word that I heard him say was lip balm. At least it wasn't cunt or wank, which seems quite popular...

Maybe it's a comment on your figure?

27mo DS3 still says 'arse' for yes. He says 'woof' for dog. Except it doesn't come out as 'woof'. It sounds distinctly like 'foof'.

Another one who had a DC that called chocolate 'cock-lick'. And she once spent half the length of our High Street yelling 'bugger, bugger, BUGGER' at the top of her voice. I only worked out what she meant when she pointed to the Golden Arches...

Then there was the time when a group of teenagers walked past us on Halloween and DD started pointed and yelling 'BITCH' over and over again. Think pointy hat and broomstick...

We haven't had many swear words, but last week in church DD2 farted loudly (while sitting on the parish nun's knee no less), when asked "who did that?" she blamed DD1 who wasn't even at church due to a sleepover!

Bless. It's a rite of passage hearing your angel child swearing (either meaningfully or not). DD1 shouted 'pish, I need a pish' repeatedly in a restaurant while Mum and I looked at each other trying to work out what she was saying and all other tables stared at the swearing toddler. turned out she wanted to be pushed closer to the table.

We've got video of our daughter saying 'pith off' over & over. She wanted me to pick all the white bits off her orange. She was 2 at the time.

Record it and embrace it. Nothing wrong with arse.

you do realise that there have been scientific expeiments done which prove that swearing reduces pain felt?

well that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

especially when ds swears like a navvy

We had fish with tomato sauce on Friday. Did my little one (4 years) really have to go around telling everyone we had "bleeding fish on Friday"

DD pronounces "snacks" as "sex" so when she shouts for snacks in the middle of the supermarket, we do get some funny looks. Cue me loudly saying "oh you want snacks darling. What snacks would you like?"

Oh yes there was the time that ds was calling everyone silly. Silly mummy, silly daddy. Walking out of grandmas house I said say bye to grandma. "Bye bye silly bugger" I cringed as a family walked past us.

My 2 year old, completely addicted to Thomas the Tank Engine, was going around saying "fucking troller" repeatedly for a long time lol. He couldn't quite get his tongue round Fat Controller. I thought it was hilarious and he also brought his nursery to a standstill one day when the staff couldn't do a thing for laughing - when his lunch box was opened and put in front of him he couldn't hide his disappointment and exclaimed in a loud voice "CRACKERS! Oh God!"

WE were called in my nursery to ask that my 2 year old stop saying "fuck you"!!! We had to explain that she was trying to say thank you (honest)!!!!

My Daughter now 7 - first word Cat, second word shit, first sentence "A cat shit!" Said right in front of my Mother-in-Law. My other Daughter now 25 months, has been saying the standard Daddy, her Sisters name, Dog, cat, etc, but no Mummy, the thing shes does say, "Thank you Girl" to me when presented with juice or food, I'm presuming copying me with "Clever Girl!" :O

My two and a half year old has always had excellent language skills. Very clear speech not much she can't say. This makes it difficult when we walk around a shop or go for a picnic and she tells everyone she wants a big shit. She actually means biscuit. Was worse when she went through the stage of needing everything!
