Oh fucking hell

[EleanorHandbasket]

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?

Now now ladies, now that the kindly gent has steered us in the right direction we can all stop abusing our common as muck children. And all will be right in the world.

I think it depends on the child really some pick it up others don't!! I was brought up in the East End where my nan, aunts & uncles swore several times in each sentence but not me or my siblings picked up on it.. They were just words & I never swore as a kid.. My dd has never accidentally picked up on any swear word from my family or friends that swear a fair bit but my ds has only got to hear any word swear word or otherwise & it's logged in his brain & pops out .. Sometimes at inappropriate times!!
I tend not to react if possible!

The need to call oneself 'truegent' and refrain from swearing is frightfully lower middle, no?

Brilliant!
I love it a good "How very common" post.
DS says thank fuck you've someone so very proper to show you the way, mum.

stinkingbishop don't be so rude. He's definitely titled - a right Count.

He's too busy tucking his serviette into his collar before settling down to his dessert. Pardon?

I tend to swear like a trooper in the car - the Belgian roads do that to a person - but dd has never uttered a peep (other than "bugger, bugger, bugger" once). Now she says "Mother - you need to stop using the bad words and chillax"

The other day she was watching the Breakfast news and came to tell me about things you need to do to avoid breast cancer - as I wasn't doing very well in that department.

I have bred my own Saffy.

Defensive? What? Where? Who, us? No way. Fuck you Chris And That Horse You Rode In On*

• homage to a well-named MNer.

DS, aged 3, recently proclaimed loudly in church, 'I LOVE boobies!' The man standing nearest nearly spat his coffee everywhere

I will be very glad when he learns to pronounce 'blueberries' properly

Yes, defensive. You know I have a point and you hate me for it.

I'm not claiming to be the perfect parent but I vowed never to swear in front of my little ones and think there is little behaviour more offensive than a toddler telling one to "fuck off".

I genuinely don't understand why you people on here - women, mostly - find that funny.

Why celebrate and enjoy the degradation of your child and our language?

What's wrong with upholding standards and trying to protect your little one? Why lash out at those that want to maintain mutual respect?

Stand by your beds,everyone

There are some who see all language as enrichment, and some who will use the smallest detail, fault or mistake to berate, judge and pontificate.

And of course some people are just foul-mouthed cunts.

Why celebrate and enjoy the degradation of your child and our language?

Because sometimes it's bloody funny.

A good friend saved the day by giving a lift to my twins as they had a party to go to. When they returned they proudly told me that they had seen a "fucking twat". Needless to say the friend was mortified but had been cut up at a roundabout and was not used to having little ones in the car

Labour voters, the lot of you. Nothing to contribute and only seeking to live off others' hard work.

Oh MrGent, are you flirting with us now?

You Silver-tongued charmer you

Are you offering to keep us in the manner to which we are accustomed TrueGent?
Do you have lots of & ?

Oh I've laughed so hard at you child abusers

I've sworn in my children's hearing when totally at the end of my tether. They're 3 and 2 year.old twins and.thank goodness no repetition of a swear word yet though dd did tell me "get off your flipping phone mummy! " the other day. Of course I was mortified and that's dh saying that to me anyway and will certainly watch our language a lot more. I think this thread is hilarious though for those joining in the funny moments in our-well, mine at least, fallible parenting.

My friend's 2 year old who didn't go to nursery or watch TV and they nevwr swore in front of once came in and announced "fuck it mummy". She was shocked and said "bucket, darling?. Her ds cheerfully replied, "no, fuck it, mummy! " turned out it heard it from.the builders next door but one. You can't completely protect your children from hearing swearing even if you're a better parent than me!

They are children.

They are not in charge - we are.

Observing their ignorant and innocent assumption of adult habits is not funny but, more to the point, is evidence of neglect on the part of those supposedly "entrusted" with their care.

What's worse children swearing or people voting labour? hmmmm

Sorry i missed my commas and capitals there. I'll try again

What's worse, children swearing or people voting Labour?
