mortified my toddler swore

[spanna74]

Things have been pretty tough here since DD2 arrived 5 months ago and I have lost my rag on a number of occasions recenty.

Yesterday DD1 (2 and 3/4) was putting books back on the shelf and they fell off and she said bl*dy bl*dy hell. I am literally mortified as I do remember screaming this at one of my lower points this week. She also kicked the door and said bl00dy door when she couldn't open it.

I do try no to swear in front of them but things have pushed me to the brink recently and I have snapped quite a few times.

I asked her very gently not to use those words as mummy shouldn't have said them but now wonder if i should just ignore it and not make an issue of it. Would die if she repeated it at nursery.

Feel awful about this.

I listen to the lonely island alot, that song 'jizz in my pants'

DS sings 'cheese in my pants'

Don't sweat it. Just ignore it and she'll stop saying it.
FWIW, the morning after a spotty yoof crashed into my car, I came downstairs to find ds (3) recreating the scene with his playmobil with the following commentary, "Silly man crashed into mummy's car. He's a shit."

I managed to persuade DD that I had said OH BUCKETS and not bugger when she was 3yo.

Doesn't work now she is 7yo.

She did say recently, 'Das is so shit' because in Germany a lot of people use English swearwords (even in the kindergarden). When I told her that it meant 'scheisse' she was so embarrassed.

My 2yo DD1 always greets our friend Rich with 'Hiya Bitch!'....!

I am crying with laughter over f is for fuck.

We met a car coming round the corner in our narrow lane the other day and ds exclaimed in great exasperation "Jesus WEPT". It is only a matter of time before he comes out with something much much worse.

PMSL at this thread. Makes me feel soooo much better.

I NEVER swore infront of DD and DS1. I admit to bing a bit crap with DS2 and DS3. Its since DD died, I am so much more prone to flaring up . I am trying to keep a lid on it.

Anyway ... my DS2 has SN and significant language problems. So WHY does he swear so f*ing clearly? He doesnt do it often and when he does its all matter of fact. I think its because he tends to mimic (so really easy to tell who he learnt a particular phrase from).

I picked him up from school when he was about 5. We were trotting along and he came out really loudly and casually 'havent you bought the fucking car?'

I was stunned into silence. Luckily a lot of the kids that go to his school swear like dockers so no one batted an eyelid.

PMSL at YeahBut's DS.

I'm crying with laughter trying to read these out to DH.

My mum is anti swearing and my ds has said a few swear words in front of her that he's picked up from us

We had to all laugh the other day when I was talking to dh and i said 'what are you like, you.....' and just stopped talking and ds (3.10) finished the sentence off with 'dick'

We had friends over who we hadn't seen for ages. DD who was 3 came running in from the garden and shouted "who let the fucking chickens out". I could have died.

I used to be Sooooooo uptight about swearing, but I have to say I've relaxed a little over the months.

I would never put up with sexual swearwords being used in front of my children, but I do say bloody and the occassional shit. I don't know why but I get a strange liberating feeling - like when I did it in front of my parents when I was young. Wierd.

My dd tonight said 'Jeeezus Christ' really drawn out and I told her off. I hope she didn't get that from me.

But I wouldn't worry too much. By the time they are at school you've lost control anyway.

DS1 (2yrs 6 mths) standing in the hall. DP standing next to where I keep my work lap top and brief case and moving them.

DS1 - "Daddy leave them, mummys bag" so to amuse him DP keeps moving them a couple of inches. Repeats about three times. So, DS1 shouts "For fucks sake daddy, mummys bags, leave them!"

Last Sunday starts shouting "fuck, fuck, fuck". Told him how naughty this is. Nothing else until yesterday when bouncing on the bed at Grandmas to a chorous of fuck, fuck, fuck. Told off sternly and gave what I thought was a sincere apology to have him say around five minute later "Mummy" "What?" "FUCK!"

Where does he get that from though???

It is really funny to read, but seriously worrying at the same time...

when they get a bit bigger it becomes artful though.

DS (7): mum, can you buy the Daily Mail this week, you can get a somethingorother cd with it.

me: no, I am not buying it.

DS: go on

me: no, I am not buying the DM. (explain that I will buy a CD if he wants but etc etc)

DS: oh go on (repeated several times)

me: I am not buying the Daily BLOODY Mail!!!

DS(not missing a beat): Oh, I didn't ask you to buy the Daily BLOODY Mail. Is that a different paper, Mum?

AAAARRGGH

This thread is making me feel better, DD (2.8) woke me up a few weeks ago, tapping me on the head in bed with "Mummy,get up, I want my fucking weetabix". Was a bit . Followed it up a few days later, by muttering under her breath whilst colouring in, "I dropped my fucking crayon." Needless to say we are being a lot more careful about the language we use now.

Me and DD(3) were on a packed (but silent) train a while ago and a wasp kept flying near us. DD shouted at the top of her voice "oh this fucking wasp is getting on my nerves"
I avoided all eye contact with anyone for the rest of the journey

i have never had this experience
i never swear in front of my kids
but then i am a better parent than you,

"I want my fucking weetabix"

from a 2 year old is tragic not funny

Shouldn't you be off to polish your halo then?

Was going to join in but then the parenting police turned up

Wow suefley, you must share some of your great parenting tips with us then

My 15 year old doesnt swear (in front of me). He is mature enought to understand the complexities of the parent child dynamic i.e. mum can say what she fucking wants but you'd better watch your mouth sunshine.

I think that shows how well he has been bought up.

My brother, aged 4, was once was standing in the footwell of the car when my father approached a roundabout, and he then declared "Which fucking way now?"

He was promptly belted of course as this was 1963

The child in question is a respectable civilian with a proper job, so try not to fret so much

Last time I started a toddler swearing thread I had all the Halo Parents bundle in My DS has picked up fucks sake from me but there is one I never ever use which he has started on so they must pick it up elsewhere too !

this is a great thread.
Some times no matter how hard you try not to let them hear stuff, they do. We try really hard not to swear around dc's, but when it's such common place in other peoples lives it's difficult.
We were following some youths down the street the other day and every other word seemed to be fuck, so we crossed the road to avoid my ds1 and his radar ears hearing it.
When we crossed the road ds1 said 'those boys must really like ducks, they were talking about them all the time!'

[Grin] My younger brothers first word was duck but unfortunately it came out fuck, I thought it was hilarious!
Oh and Suefley, get over yourself
