Swearing in year 3 reading book

My 7 year old in year 3 came home today with a new book for reading at home he opened the book and handed it to me. The first line of the book opens with swearing. Do you think this is appropriate?

@MagicSummer

Just for the record - 'Oh my God' is not swearing, it is actually blasphemy.
I agree that it's not swearing. But to some Christians (and 6 year olds) its the same thing.

This is almost as bad as the ‘how old do I look?’ threads Hmm

Not surprisingly, my first thought was the same as @Michaelbaubles Grin

'For fucks sake Peter, I don't want to see spot run you lazyarsed Cunt'
See Peter toking on the bong
'Fucking wow innit Jane' says Peter.
'Where is the twat with my pizza? Fucking munchies man'

Or maybe op is the collective spirit of mumsnet and the sentence contains McDonalds happy meal, bbq, or off lead dog.

Once upon a time, a young and beautiful mother overinvested in a thread she happened upon whilst sloping off from doing anything useful. She refreshed and refreshed and fucking refreshed once again but the arsing answer she was shitting well seeking, was simply not there.

Once in my younger, less experienced years I hadn't proof read a book for my class and we turned the page to a chapter title along the lines of "piss off Peter!". I think my heart stopped. All their little jaws dropped. Blush

pinky it was therapeutic to write Thomas the wank engine. I hate that little whining arsehole.

@Catabogus

We had “git” in a yr 3 reading book. I wasn’t too impressed.
Was that the text of the book or the teacher feedback?

Come on or is this just a wind up?

Tfoot75 · 04/11/2020 19:39

My 7yo brought home a book with a gruesome quadruple murder, including pictures of stabbings and a beheading.

It was Macbeth. I did ask the teacher if being Shakespeare made the subject matter appropriate, in a tongue in cheek way - didn't really get a response Grin

"No they are cunts"

These cows did nothing to deserve this.

Something to watch whilst we wait for the big anticlimax reveal.

I bought my nephew The Very Bloody History of Britain and he was appalled by the swear word in the title. Grin

I'm really disappointed there's no reveal here! Wonder if it was damn?! My dd says damn it sometimes (actually she's changed it to 'dang it' now, far more annoying- and one of her friends mums did a real pearl clutch when she heard it. I had no idea it was thought of as bad these days.

I'm fuming that I've just read 5 pages and still no response.
