Oh fucking hell

The two and a half yr old keeps saying this.

I thought it was that when he said it (in context!) last night, but he's just said it again while looking for a toy.

'Wheres my train? Oh fucking hell, I've lost it'.

Oh fucking hell. What do I do, other than curb by potty mouth and try to ignore it?

Oh, you know where we're all headed Eleanor dontcha?

My friend's grandchild started swearing one day - she said to him 'did you say bingo!? That's such a naughty word'. Child proceed to parade around saying bingo, bingo, bingo with his mother and GM saying 'oh no, it's horrible'. He forgot the swear word.

Could you do similar with something like 'oh dingdong bell'? Grin

Ha ha lifesaving that is so funny.

Laughing so much am crying!

Sisters little girl got given a real fur cat and was sitting on floor stroking it saying loudly 'I love my pussy'. Bil and dh in fits of laughter so she kept repeating it. Sister dreaded that on coming up in nursery... (Df calls cats pussy cats)

Life saving Smile

I fucking love swearing but it's only when I meet with my hallion friends these days I get to do it. Love kids swearing though - my ds did it once, I just said, oh you mean duck & just persisted when he argued, occasionally muttering duck loudly when frustrated

BerryNaughtyBoy · 15/06/2014 20:14

2 yo ds said this afternoon 'oh for fucks sake mummy. Fuck sake' I didn't know what to do. He also told my mum yesterday that she was doing his nut in. I was mortified. I'd said that to moany dp that morning. Ds takes in more than he lets on.

My three year old said... I just want to watch Mary fucking poppins Confused

I LOVE this thread!

JoeyMaynardsghost · 15/06/2014 20:54

My DD went through a phase of saying "fuck". At the age of 3. We every single time gave her a fork and asked why she needed one.

And moderated our language... then once she was out of that phase she went to school. And it all came back. F B C, the lot.

starsandunicorns · 15/06/2014 20:57

My dn when two used to say
Oh bollocks
very loud with hands on hips

YummyKiwis · 15/06/2014 21:03

OP you need to stop swearing around your child, or letting people around him who swear. Only you are to blame for this. Me personally I'd be some what ashamed to post that my child is swearing Hmm

lifesavingnoodles · 15/06/2014 21:05

she went through a phase of making up her own language in which my name was MOFO..welll i HAD to tell her, didnt i?

well, now she is 10 and we have had the conversation....the one that goes..

is this a swearword?
is this? what about this?

i have been deadly honest with her and told her the meaning of them, such as MOFO i dont like it becuase some people sayd it and they mean.... so its not very nice, and you are nice so i dont want anyone getting the wrong idea about you

not potty mouthed but does know all the words now

Blondieminx · 15/06/2014 21:06

My DD aged 18m dropped something, while MIL was babysitting. "oh bugger" she said BlushBlushBlush was more careful after that!

FuckyNell · 15/06/2014 21:07

Where'd you think I got my name from? Grin

shockinglybadteacher · 15/06/2014 21:09

DN had swearing issues, not only around the word "cunt". We finally managed to train her not to say "fuck" in public. "Fuck is what grown-ups say when they're annoyed, but it's a bad word." Result - DN would say "I really want to say fuck now, because I've had a bad day". She also used to go into a cupboard, shout "FUCK FUCK FUCK" and then come out and inform people "Because I'm a good girl, I wasn't even saying fuck in there". Grin

She's over it now and tells me off for saying "bloody" or "arse", never mind anything stronger!

annebullin · 15/06/2014 21:10

One of my ds's insisted that the sheep from peppa pig was called cunt when he was aged about 2. I have NO idea where he got it from.

ocelot41 · 15/06/2014 21:11

I have passed 'Bugger' off as 'Bucket' before now. Cue child, having lost toy walking round muttering 'Bucket, bucket, BUCKET' in exasperated tone....

Shakey1500 · 15/06/2014 21:11

I let a "Oh for FUCK'S sake" slip when DS was about 2.

Cue a couple of hours later when he repeats it verbatim, in context and with complete conviction in front of his Grandad who was horrified.

I blatantly lied and said we'd passed some woman on the way who had dropped something and said it. That's where he must have heard it said I Blush

So to the non existant innocent woman, my apologies Grin

Hassled · 15/06/2014 21:13

How can he be two and half already? That's not possible.

One of my family was overheard to mutter "I'm not fucking drinking this" when presented with a cup of water - aged 2.

SandStorm · 15/06/2014 21:14

The third time dd (then aged 20 months) declared "bollocks" very clearly and in context, we introduced the concept of 'daddy words' and 'mummy words'. Obviously, she had been using daddy words...

EleanorHandbasket · 15/06/2014 21:15

He's actually three in September.

Which is ridiculous as it was only a few moths ago I was being all pregnant and whingy, surely?

Time goes too fucking quickly lately.

I can't breathe for laughing...... It is funny but I must curb my language Blush

chutneypig · 15/06/2014 21:16

We were playing I spy a few years back when DS blithely announced B is for bollocks. Aged 4 perhaps. When I asked if he knew what that meant said his nuggets. For which I take no responsibility.

He also dropped fucking hell aged two. At nursery in front of four staff when asked to go home by his father. I fortunately was chasing his sister round the car park at the time. For which I also take no responsibility. If he'd said for fucks sake, now that would have been me Grin

CornChips · 15/06/2014 21:17

My CM said to me last week; 'What on EARTH was your cat doing last night?' I said 'huh?' She said 'DS kept saying today 'Fucking ChipCat, Fucking ChipCat, Fucking ChipCat'.

For the record, Fucking ChipCat was hiding under sofas with a dead mouse and yowling at the top of her voice from 3 am - 4.20 am.

Shakey1500 · 15/06/2014 21:18

Yes YummyKiwis because you can totally control what other people say Confused

You've only got to look at my non existent woman to know that it's impossible.
