2 year old imitating a swear word she heard - help

[theressomethingaboutmarie]

My husband gets a little vocal when driving and apparently said "stupid fucker" about another driver when our two year old was in the car.

My darling girl gently held my face whilst we were out shopping on Saturday and said, "Mummy, you stupid fucker". I was absolutely horrified to say the least. I am VERY careful about my language in front of her and in general, my husband is too.

I told her that we do not say such words and that if we are cross with someone, we say, "silly boy" or "silly girl". How do I stop her saying it? I didn't shout or overreact when she said it for fear of her realising that those words had power.

Help! I don't want to have a foul mouthed daughter (husband suitably ashamed btw).

ignore it and the new word will soon get boring.

I'm trying to!! It's just so awful, she looks like an angel but sounds like a trucker :-(

again ignore it the more she sees you rise to it the more fun it will be to say ignore it or make a new word up thats funny and get her to keep saying that make big fuss of it when she says it it'll soon be more funa s you'll be reacting to new word

at sounds like a trucker.

we had it with shit.it was my fault,it slipped out before i realised dc were about.(the word ,not actual poo).

right -so you need to think of something familar sounding but not too much-and something nice!iyswim!and then keep repeating it.build a tower,knock it down-say something like silly dausage etc.and again!

ummm...

Just ignore her, we had 'dickhead' for a while, is is quite funny seeing little one's say stuff but of course wholly in apporpriate.

"we had it with shit.it was my fault,it slipped out before i realised dc were about.(the word ,not actual poo)."

thought of this thread today(i have no life) when driving along and 4 yr old ds shouted 'stupid cow'.i asked where he got that from,dd said 'you mummy just now when you came out of the car park'.i think ive managed to convince him that i said stupid cloud- after saying it randomly for the rest of the journey home!

Nice dodge Cheesesarnie! I had, " Mammy, what does bliddy hell mean?" for about ten mins after i'd dropped coffee all over my lap in a cafe! .

LOL at OP feeling DD now trucker mouth.
