Sorry if there's another similar thread (kinda hoping I'm not the only one with this issue!)
My DS was playing in the sand today and he dropped his spade, he looked at me with a definite glint in his eye and said "fuck it", I ignored him (with my face becoming redder than a tomato) then he said it again! OMG what am I to do, did I do the right thing and ignore it? Or should I have removed him from playground and told him off or punished him? He seemed to know that the word he was saying was not allowed by the way he looked at me before he said it.
As for some background, my husband and I do not swear. I have SIL who swears quite a bit (her DS also same age does not seem to have repeated anything she says) I have never heard her swear when my DS has been with her but it's possible that she has said the odd word in my absence.
I worried that he'll keep saying it over and over until he's expelled from nursery :-(
Please tell me I'm over reacting and this is 'relatively' normal learning behaviour
