Dh said to our dd "I will wash you mouth out with soap & water"..*POLL* WOULD / HAVE YOU?

[jollyjane]

She is 5 years old!! He had swore in a previous sentance and she then copied it.
So he said that to her!
Away from the dcs I said why did you say it?? He said he meant it, his dad did it to him and he never swore in front of him again!
It just seems like living in the dark ages to me! I said I don't agree and think he should just make more effort to not swear in front of them!
He thinks more people will agree with him!
We will watch your replies. TIA.

It's your DH that needs to moderate his behaviour, not your dd. If he doesn't want her to swear, he shouldn't swear in front of her.

she is acting completely naturally, she is only five. He's supposed to be the adult in the situation. He doesn't need to put the blame on your dd but on himself!
