I'm sitting here in tears as I've just been 'spoken to' by one of the helpers there, apparently he hit anther child and when told 'we don't do that, do we?' he swore at the helper - some sentence containing the word 'f*ck'- not aimed at her but more just out of general crossness.
She wasn't happy of course and neither am I, but I feel like I've let him down and am the worst parent ever.
He has said it a few times at home recently and obviously had heard me say it at times of stress - bad I know, but things have been awful lately, I'm expecting his little brother in 4 weeks and not really coping too well.
Of course he's struggling with all this too and has had a few 'wet- pants- incidents' as well in the past couple of weeks.
He's normally a lovely boy, nearly 4, but it feels like it's all going horribly wrong - worst is people's expression when this dear little creature utters some obscenity, he just isn't seen as a 'nice' child any more.
I have tried to have a talk with him about it, explaining that while we might sometimes say rude words at home, it's not Ok to say them in public - but it doesn't seem to be enough, of course it isn't, he's only 3 and doesn't get it. All totally my own fault for letting him hear me say things like that.
What can I do, I barely dare to take him there again tomorrow.
