3 year old picked up a swear word

[dadadadathatslife]

My DS 3 just said "fuck sake"

I actually feel like the worst mother in the world.

Please cheer me up and tell me other things your children have said/done that's made you cringe.

Also, how do you get them to stop saying it???

MissHavishams I am pissing myself at that

Once when DS was little and still in pushchair, I heard him singing a sweet little song to himself with a little smile on his face.

I leaned in closer so I could listen to... "Shit/shit/SHIT/shit/shit/SHIT/shit/SHIT"

I just stood back up and carried on pushing 😳

Ds1 is nearly 4. The other day I was getting him out of the car and asked my DMum if we had every thing we needed. DMum has bought ds a new tractor that day and he piped up "don't forget my bloody tractor". DDad is responsible for that!
Also a few weeks ago I moved his balance bike from its normal place and when he went to get it he yelled "shit my bike has gone". I'm not sure if that is me or Dh fault.
He also announces regularly "I'm knackered" again thanks to DDad. I can't seem to.stop that one!

My dd dropped a toy on the floor whilst in the queue to go into nursery school age 3 and said "fuck sake"! All the other parents turned to stare at me I was so embarrassed!

When DD was about 5 she looked out of the window and said "It's pissing it down out there" (which it was to be fair)

We do live in Scotland so it is pissing of rain quite a lot and myself and DH must have been using that phrase frequently without realising.

My eldest is nearly a decade older than my youngest and he delights in teaching her rude words and inappropriate expressions. Poor thing, she doesn't even know it's ruse until she gets told off.
I came home one day and was greeted by her beaming face and a cheery "Fuck YOU Mummy".
Also a dose of antibiotic medicine was met with the (in context) response "it tastes like shit!"
"Stop nagging me" and "I'm going to punch your lights out" were other unwelcome gems.

DD went through a phase of finding spoonerisms hilarious.

She'd ask for BeetaWix for breakfast. Or want to watch BiggleGiz on the tele.

It got more adventurous with wanting to Deed the Fucks (feeds the ducks).

And then of course, the worst one was Honker Cunting (Conker hunting)

When my daughter was 5 they had a Halloween display where there was a skeleton that kept popping out from a display.....her teacher pulled me aside later that day to tell me that at break one day she had shouted 'that fucking skeleton' I was mortified! Even now she doesn't like skeletons lol

When DD was little we went past a shop called "Shoes and Bags" . DD in all her innocence proceeds to exclaim quite loudly . " why did they give it such a long name mummy - they should have just called it Shags" .

Got a laugh from a few surrounding shoppers anyway.

This thread is hilarious 😂😂😂 I'm in stitches at some of these stories. Got all that to look forward to with my own DS who is only 2 weeks old now so we've got a little way to go before his first expletive utterance...

When I moved to the UAE 5+ years ago the very first Arabic swear word I learnt was taught to me by a super cute, innocent looking 3-yr-old Emirati girl, who used to delight in saying 'kuss ummk' to every new person she met - it's probably THE most offensive insult in Arabic and literally means 'your mother's cunt' 😱😅 She kept saying it because she always got such a reaction for doing so. Her mother used to howl with laughter when entertaining various esteemed guests and trotting the little girl out to surprise them all with her questionable vocabulary.

She also once asked DP what did cunt mean when she read it from some spray painted graffiti that they went past in the car !

My daughter came home from preschool so age 3 and asked me Mommy is bollox a bad word, so I say yes pet that's a really bad word you should never say it um where did you hear it? So she says Connor P called Connor J a bollox at school. And my youngest who is now 3 has said fucken sake a couple of times not sure where she got it from she has only had 8 weeks of preschool yet :)

My DD is 2,5 and has already muttered "little shit", "fucks sake" and "fucking hell". We're really trying to not swear around her, but she picks it up from first time. I think we should stop talking completely. Would be easier.

My 5yo asked if Wanker meant someone who was driving...

DS4 has speech delay and didn't say anything at all for a long time. As a result, DH and I got out of the habit of being careful with our language, and only realised our error when DD2 came out with 'fuck's sake'. Always in the right context, too

Recently DH gave DS (3) a sponge tortoise, which DS named 'Flippy'. A few days after he'd named it thus, DS said to me, 'No, he's not Flippy, he's 'Bastard' the tortoise.' I was horrified. It's not a word we say generally, but about 6 months ago I referred to someone as a bastard in front of DS. He must have been saving it up...

Flippy was Bastard for several days, but but has thankfully now regained his original title.

My dh is a terrible swearer

He tries hard not to do it around the dc but fails a lot

He dropped the Hoover the other day and swore loudly

Cueing my 2 year old Ds to say "oh bollocks"

Dh nearly shit himself thinking of what I was going to say...whilst trying to smother down laughter at the same time.

Another one, at the zoo. Ds was sitting in a land rover thing driving. "Brum brum!" He shouted delightedly as we smiled indulgent k y at our 2 year old pfb. "Fucking go, go go!" He sho u Ted as he did battle with imaginary traffic and we made a swift exit.

And Dd cleaning the bath and singing to herself:"I'm singing this song so I don't say bollocks ."

She doesn't say bollocks anyway.

When changing ds's nappy a couple of months ago he clear as day said oh fuck sake 🙈 i just looked at him and tried not to laugh. He thankfully hasnt said it again

At bedtime the other night, settling my reluctant 3 year old down, then he pipes up 'I want to go in your fucking bed". Maybe my DH has been complaining about DS's nocturnal visits a bit too loudly.

I've got an awful mouth on me but try not to swear in front of the girls apparently I haven't managed very well

when dd1 was 2.5 a load of cyclists cut me up so I called them fuckers and I hear a little voice pipe up from the back "they're not fuckers mummy they're cunts"

ah the fun. My DF and DB both swear like troopers (DB is ex-army) and both adore my DD. Who picked up some choice phrases.

The best was when someone in reception class had been boasting. DD proudly told me, at the school gates in front of several other parents that 'x is a total johnny two-shit, isn't she'.

Cue me trying to put her right while several mums were choking and smothering their faces trying to look suitably disgusted.

I also realised I have road language when she told DH and MIL that people who are slow off the mark are 'bloody blind twats'. Ahem. She's almost 16 now, and as PP have said, can swear like a trooper if the need arises

When DD was 2 she picked up "Fuck." But she was talking in disjointed sentences, I was mortified as DH does not swear. I immediately got a toy Fox and tried to pretend she was saying that.

Didn't work
