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?

are you saying it more now you're sober? Grin

don't worry.
dd kept saying "fuck's sake" and I panicked so much, but shestopped without me noticing.
althoug,really, I've got to stop ranting and shoiting fuck in all forms.

My friend's 3 year old asked his one year old sister "What the ARSE are you doing now??" the other day in front of his Grandma.

My friends little boy spent last summer telling his mum to Fuck up (shut the....) she was going through a split with her dp at the time :(

Janethegirl · 15/06/2014 21:21

My dd at 2 years old sat in dmil house and said 'fuck, fuck ' intermittently and we just ignored it hoping she'd stop, but no chance! We just ignored it and she did stop eventually........ Now is a v different story Grin

YummyKiwis · 15/06/2014 21:22

Shakey I don't swear and neither does my child, he never has. If I swore and had people around us who swore he would pick it up, I don't know why parents complain when their children swear when they've learnt it from them Hmm

EleanorHandbasket · 15/06/2014 21:22

Haha good point, there may be an inverse correlation between wine and swearing.

Still, I think sober me is a better person all round, despite the f-bombs...

One of Dd2s first clear words was 'Twat'. She was sat in her high chair using her plate as a steering wheel. I now try very hard to restrain my tongue when other drivers drive like, erm, well, twats.

SheherazadeSchadenfreude · 15/06/2014 21:30

Ignore it. We nearly crashed the car once, when someone cut us up. Every time we braked suddenly after that, DD1, who was 2 at the time, and could barely speak, piped up "Jesus Fuck!", just like Daddy. Grin (She is now 15 and has moved on to saying "Holy Crap!")

nickelbabe · 15/06/2014 21:34

dd also says "fabric" a lot. except it sounds like "fack-it".
can't say another word for fabric ...

honeybeeridiculous · 15/06/2014 21:36

When DD was 2 she used to toddle around with her little bag of toys & if she dropped something would shout `shit' in a really deep voice Hmm

ClockWatchingLady · 15/06/2014 21:41

DS said "bugger" before he said "mummy", the little bugger.

mindthegap79 · 15/06/2014 21:52

And to think that when I was 5 I got into big trouble for shouting (on seeing a piece of fluff floating in the bath) "WHAT, to the HECK, is THAT?!"

YesJesseARobot · 15/06/2014 21:55

These are ace Grin

DS used to swear like a trooper. He is autistic and went through a very echolalic phase not helped by us the teenagers on his school bus.

Now he is very rule-bound and is like a walking swear-box. He told our decorator off yesterday for wearing a t-shirt with the word "ass" on it Blush

fairylightsintheloft · 15/06/2014 21:57

Dd (3) likes bloody hell at the moment. She knows its naughty so warns us first that she's going to say it Smile ds when about 2 said fuck's sake a few times but forgot about it in the end.

Susyb30 · 15/06/2014 21:58

Making me laugh this is! I remember sitting round the table at xmas at pil's house when ds (4) suddenly said "for god's sake daddy your doing my nut in, bloody bastard" silence descended on the table..if I could have shrunk into the carpet I would have. Also whilst waiting at the checkout queue in boots my little treasure saw a venus razor in the (rather posh) lady's basket behind us
And said"are you going to shave your bugger with that?" God I was mortified!! Ooh the joys :-)

WorraLiberty · 15/06/2014 22:00

I don't understand that

Surely she knows she's going to get punished whether she warns your or not?

Iamsuperluigi · 15/06/2014 22:05

I have not laughed so much in a long time, lifesavingnoodles.

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 15/06/2014 22:10

It's not to do with swearing (my 3 do swear occasionally) but it's weird when a kid says something an adult would say. For example I met a friend walking home from school last week who was pushing her new baby in the buggy. My 5 year old dd looked at her and said "awww they're not babies for long are they?" :o It was so weird

andsmile · 15/06/2014 22:13

i think my said oh god.

worse is she screams instructions at her DB, i dont know where she gets that from, can shout huge come'ere up the stairs. Blush

she's a little battle-axe.

MrsChickPea · 15/06/2014 22:14

Still laughing and crying here! Though have to say that worst word DS ever said is 'bloody' (and only said twice) but that's in the context of watching Pirates of the Caribbean and that's what Jack Sparrow says. Otherwise worst word ever uttered (and he said it was rude - though was 4 at the time - now 8) is Fart! I do swear - but obviously VERY quietly!

WorraLiberty · 15/06/2014 22:15

I absolutely hate hearing children swearing but I do love it when they say something you'd expect from an older person YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar

My friend said (in front of her 4yr old DD) "Grrr, I hate Lego bricks. I spend all day clearing them up!"

The 4yr old replied, "Aye, but it keeps the little ones quiet doesn't it?" Grin

SpagBolgs · 15/06/2014 22:17

You should stop swearing and so should your husband because he learning it from you and take away his toy when he swears

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 15/06/2014 22:24

Worra :o that's so sweet. Ds who is 10 now likes to drink tea but always with a "ooh that hit the spot!" Or "I needed that!"

WeddedBliss · 15/06/2014 22:26

DS1 had a speech delay, and his pronounciation was very bad until about age 5.

When he was 4, I took him to Tesco with me. Ds was in a whingy, easily-upset mood, so I was messing around trying to make him laugh.

When we went to get cat food, I did a whole sketch 'Oh, no, look, I think I may be going to buy dog food, oh no', still trying to cheer him up.

Ds1 was still in meltdown mode, was instantly furious that I was going to buy dog food for the cat and started shouting 'No! You can't mummy, you can't!'

Only with his pronounciation, it was a perfect 'No! You CUNT mummy, you CUNT!'. In a very crowded aisle in Tesco. I still blush thinking of that.
