Would you be bothered if someone said bloody in front of your 11 year old?

[satci]

Not really thinking, at a party. No younger kids heard. Would you be overly offended? It wasn't me or my child involved but I think at 11 I wouldn't have minded my children hearing that. What's everyone else's thoughts?

I wouldn't bat an eyelid

Couldn't care less. My 12yo, nearly 13 uses 'bloody', as does her cousin. I don't even think of it as a swear word tbh.

Fuck no.

No, not that word at the age. I dislike swearing and would pull up friends or family who used such words when the children were young. I didn’t want them to think it was acceptable to use such words on a regular basis.

My 11 year old daughter is most likely to say it herself!

Wouldn't bother me. You can't pretend they don't exist.

I'm not sure I would even notice tbh!

Wouldn’t bother me at all.

No not at all although for some strange reason my 12 year old is adamant that bloody is up there with the worst swear words, even when used to describe something actually being covered in blood, despite us telling him frequently that it’s not 😂.

No.

You can’t protect children from any language - but bloody is tame as.

I’ve heard butter wouldn’t melt 11 year olds say far worse when they think no one is listening.

Is bloody even a swear word? It doesn't even register with me which probably means I use it in front of my two year old

Yes

It wouldn't even occur to me to not say this in front of small children.

I knew swear words well before 11. My Dad was an effer and jeffer, my Mum is too but not as much as my Dad.

I also knew when and where and the appropriate times to use swear words. They're just words - that cant be used as freely as I'd like.

I'm sure the 11 year old was horribly shocked.

Fuck no!

No

Wouldn't notice, and wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if I did happen to.

I generally don’t swear in front on my kids but I think ‘Bloody!’ in front of an 11 year is no big deal. If I blurted it accidentally I’d say ‘Excuse my French!’

This.

I’m not worried about swearing. But as my kids grow/grew up they were taught and just knew to be fair, where it wasn’t appropriate to use them. So my eldest never swore at school, around other adults, in certain situations etc.

No

My children spent their earliest years in the southern USA, where cursing in public just isn’t done. We moved back to London when DS was 5 and within a few days of arriving he got into a spat over swings at the park with another 5 yo, who called him a “fucking motherfucker”. Nothing like being back in the UK!

So no, I don’t even count bloody as swearing.

Err no

It’s not even a proper swear word! It is said before the watershed on the radio. Total none issue.

Nope
