They've just sent me an email with a link advising me on how to deal with my arsing 3.8 yo swearing.

AIBU to think Mumsnet wouldn't put shit like this in my inbox?

I have a house full to brim with small children. It's worrying that other people trust me given what I do to my own Confused

Three year olds do swear a lot mind you. I blame the fucking Tweenies.

HoneyDragon · 24/07/2013 10:39

Holy fuck!

I've just had to get the Labrador off the top of the climbing wall she followed the children up.

I'm actually shaking.

Stupid dog.

TooTaboo - there is no longer a cardboard canoe??

I am incandescent with rage. That was one of the highlights of a Bounty. Angry

There was so much you could do with it afterwards - from a makeshift coconut-scented horse trough for my toy horse, to slides and ramps for the Lego people.

Will they never leave anything alone? Next you'll be telling me Marathon has been redesigned or something.

Can you forward the email to me?

My eldest wrote 'cunt' in her school book when she was in Reception.

The teacher tried to pass it off as some sort of phonetic attempt at 'couldn't' - but I knew better, oh yus.

We high-fived outside, at her blatant dig at society and rools. I have probably been on the Bounty Blacklist for decades. Confused

Ds once drew a hen sitting on its eggs. Except it had a huge penis. You couldn't deny what it was.

He was 3yo.

Bad mother

TalcAndTurnips · 24/07/2013 13:13

Pure filth.

We should all be behind bars in the Bounty Penitentiary for Wayward Parents.

There is actually a page of advice on stopping your child swearing here

Among other gems, this one sticks out If it persists use consequences each time they swear ? no TV, earlier bedtime, no treats.

WTF happened to ignoring it completely and giving no reaction therefore no reason to say it again?

HoneyDragon · 24/07/2013 14:04

Erm, that first comment with all the fudges. That mother is using shite as a child friendly version of what exactly?!

I am utterly aghast on your behalf, HoneyDragon. Surely everyone here knows how fucking lady-like you are!

Incidentally, my dmum is here and I am typing this surreptitiously, because if she sees I have used the F-word, I am going to be in Big Trouble. She will give me that Look - and it works just as well now as it did when I was 10!

TooTabooToBoo · 24/07/2013 14:35

aye Talc, no more Bounty canoes [sadface]

Labrador on a climbing frame? They really are the daftest breed! My girl is at the vets getting her bits sorted, no more seasons for her thank god!

My DD has only ever swore (sworn? sweared? ) a few times and then burst into tears before I have told her off. I've no idea why she does this, I've never gone mad at her if she's accidentally swore.

I've a mouth on me, my swearing is currently the subject of a swear-jar-order of the courts (well my mum) There's shitloads of 50p's in there. I'm bad.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 24/07/2013 15:14

Don't give my mum that idea, TooTaboo - I will be penniless!

There's over £20 in mine so far, I am swearing less though - I was on the verge of bankruptcy! Grin

HoneyDragon · 24/07/2013 23:06

My mum tells me off for swearing on Facebook. She calls my Dad cunt as a term of endearment.

She is definitely from the school of do as I say not do as I do parenting Grin

My Aunt gets really upset by FB swearing. Makes me laugh as she taught me everything I know!

Double standards!

Mrsdavidcaruso · 24/07/2013 23:38

why don't you reply 'my 3.8 yo has told me to tell you to Fuck right off'
