'Swearing'

[jordanscatt]

In the last two (quite stressful) weeks, I have argued with my Husband over 'Jesus Christ' (used not in a row, but cos DS made a fuss over something) and just then 'Bloody' during a row. He said 'Jesus Christ' is not a swear word, still its blasphemy and whilst I am not very religious I still don't like it and prefer that my 4 year old doesn't hear it from his own Dad (then repeat it to people who might really mind).
Also 'Bloody'he said is not a swear word. Well, still don't want son to hear it and also 3 year old friend who is round playing (though he is Dutch).
Am I being unreasonable??

No you’re not BU - would DH be fine with 4yo DS saying bloody and JC willy nilly to whoever? Of course not- he needs to restrain himself!

Hmmm there are much much bigger hills to die on than this - when bringing up a child.

Could it be worse? Definitely.
Could it be better? Probably…are sugar and fiddlesticks acceptable to you?

Is it really THAT important to you?

I wouldn’t have even batted an eyelid at this, but different strokes for different folks I guess!

Pick your battles, this wouldn’t be one that I’d lose sleep over. He will hear much worse when he goes to school.
