another swearing almost 3 year old

[lilysmummy2007]

We occasionally use a bit of foul language, hubby more so than me. Now I find DD who will be 3 in April says shit and bloody and f**k when looking for her shoes or toys.
It was funny at first but with nursery looming, need to break her out of it. I have totally been good but hubby has a stressful job and is often grumpy and just lets then loose. He has been trying but could be trying harder. Do you lovely ladies think that she will grow out of it. I have reprimanded her when she does it, but then hubby sets it off again when he swears! really don't want embarrassing meeting with nursery saying my 'DD cussed her teacher today'. Please help!!

Simple.. stop swearing around her and she will stop.

I agree with Devendra, your DH needs to stop it. No two ways about it. Between DH and I, I am the worse swearer. Until 23-month-old DS1 started saying shit and f**k when frustrated. Initially, it was funny but then it stopped being funny as he was due to re-start nursery (I dreaded him being excluded for swearing!) after the xmas break. I stopped and started saying 'oopsy daisy' or 'oh dear' and now he says those instead. The other day, DH got really mad and shouted 'for fuck's sake' and DS1 was saying 'fuck sake fuck sake fuck sake' soon after... So now, I really pull DH up for his swearing!

Sorry, but if you both can't stop swearing at home then your children will pick up on it and it will be giving you trouble in the future with schools.
Better start a swear jar for your partner

she won't grow out of it while she hears you using it.

as far as she is concerned they are just words, and she will continue to use them as long as she continues to hear you use them

my 5 yr old came out with "fucking" at the age of 3 and despite being told off and us ignoring it he STILL says it now. not very often, and only ever in context, but still!!!!

Agree - tell your DH to stop. Nothing worse than a foul-mouthed toddler.

In the meantime, regarding your DD - ignore, ignore and ignore. She's too young to understand appropriate use of certain words (i.e. not outside the immediate family) but she's probably picked up on their use in certain contexts. If you don't react to her (and stop swearing within her hearing) she'll forget soon enough!

Thinking about it further. Your partner needs to grow up and stop swearing. Lots of people have hard jobs and they don't all swear.
You might find that in the future if your poor son still continues to swear, that he might not get many 'playdates' with his peers and as you said, nurseries and Childminders can serve notice on children who us 'foul' language if it's upsetting the other children in their care.
Swear jar.....£1 for every profanity...soon adds up

swear jar sounds good, and will had a talk to dh
thanks ladies

My DS has taken to saying 'poo bags' to everything. Think he may have picked it up inocently from grandparents who own a dog. I try ignoring it or telling him it is rude but he carries on.
A few weeks ago he was saying 'god' to everything 'god this is heavy mummy' etc.
Must admit he prob got that one from me but have made an effort not to say it myself and haven't heard it from him in a while

If you stop swearing completely and ignore her when she does it, it will stop in no time. Don't panic I don't know a single person this hasn't happened to, lifebis stressful and as adults a lot of us swear when stressed. Stop swearing and it will soon stop.
