Help - DS just swore!

Oh no - this is all my fault I know, but DS whos 3.5 just used the "f" word which I have been know to use upon occasion in extreme circumstances (I know, I know, must be more carefull...)

Anyway, he was doing some building with his megablocks and it collapsed and he went "oh f*", twice" - I just ignored it thinking best not to make an issue of it, but am now worrying if this was the best thing to do or if I should have said something.

I feel awful... help, any advice please...

ditto my dd dropped her spoon at lunch and said "bugger it"
I just explained that it was a bit of a naughty word for only grown ups to use and she should say oopsy daisy and that mummy would try harder not to say the naughty words too.
she seems happy with this
DD is nearly 4

my ds says "puddin nell" (his version of bloody hell)all the time, i try to ignore anything else although i wan't too pleased when he said "mummy's f...ing mad" the other day after overhearing dh!

Thank you for your replies - I'll wait and see if it happens again (knowing my luck when he's at Nursery!!!)and then explain it's not a nice word etc...

Why do I always end up feeling guilty about everything...!
