to be a bit annoyed dh has taught dd 2.5 to say snot?

[CarrieDaBabi]

so when she sneezes, she shouts snot snot!

as she wants her nose wiping!

what can i try and get her to call t which doesn't sounds so horrible?

My Dc's very charmingly shout "BOGEYS" at the tops of their voice copying a -crap- children's programme form a couple of years ago I would actually prefer snot myself

dd shouts boogs when her nose needs wiping and has done for a long long time. she is 3.8. if snot is the worst your 2 year old says then think yourself lucky..!!!

My folks call DS's runny nose 'candles'or 'nose alert' which is a bit better than 'snot'. Too early for 'Mama - it would appear that I have an excess of mucus descending from my nostrils onto my philtrum' I suppose

snot is not too bad in the big scheme of things.

YABU. Bogies, snotties...it's all ok to me.

Better than my vile child of 2.8 yrs who picks her nose, removes debris, waves it around and shouts "Look at my snot - its enorrrrmous"
I just close my ears to it now....

its bogies here which is odd because I cant remember ever saying it myself!. I have heard someones child call it nose juice which made me laugh and feel slightly sick for some reason!.

YANBU, nursery taught my dd to say it and I hate hearing her say it.

I'm not sure what the polite alternative is though, excpet "my nose needs blowing/wiping"

looks like we're in the minority though ... lol

DS3 hasn't learned snot yet...........but he does "fart" (and giggles hysterically about it)

lol, i like nose alert.

i will try and teach her that instead.

however i feel dhs work here is done, and the word snot is ingrained!

Don't know that snot is any worse than wee or poo.(the word not the substance)

But I guess 'My nose is running' is more 'lady like'

DS (2.5) used to say "I need a tissue" or "You need to wipe my nose" in urgent tones.

But today I accidentally used the word snot to him, and he instantly picked up on it and asked me to get the snot out of his nose. Am now really regretting this as it sounded a bit horrible!

yes, mummy my nose is running, would be much nicer

Boogers! Here. I love teaching the toddlers of posh friends all of these inappropriate words. A friend's DD responded with "Now" when her dad said "And what do we say?" (trying to illicit a "please"). I feel this is important work on my part.

s'not the end of the world!

My dgs says 'I did party pants' which is his fart expression runny nose is 'Got yucky nose' which sums it up I think.

My two have only ever said "I need a tissue." Or someimes "I've got a snotty nose", which somehow sounds a bit posher than "snot" on its own.

what's the technical (biological) term for snot?

YANBU.
It sounds horrible.

I think YABU - "snot" seems to be a totally acceptable word for young children these days. DS learnt it at nursery where teachers use it as well.

It is called 'nose gunge' in our house. Don't know why, but that is what it is.

take heart - I've just had a friend round for coffee while waiting for our oldest children to come out of choir at school.

Her DD (almost 2) has learnt "shit" from someone (probably an older sibling) and so when she's done a poo goes and gets a clean nappy holds it up and says "done shit"
