Yeah, they're the worst with their mouths in middle school. I passed by my old middle school not long ago. I swear those kids are worse than most adults.
He is 11.
I have never been one to cuss a lot. I went through a phase where I cussed more than normal a while back but had to stop myself when I almost slipped up and said some of those words at school. Whoops.
My parents were good about not swearing, even when driving. My dad's favorites were duck butt and jack donkey. And they used to make a flying hand signal at each other, which apparently meant they were flipping the bird.
I still call people duck butts when I drive.
What difference does that make if you're implying the same thing as a swear word? Seems pointless to me.
I didn't know swear words for a very long time. Never heard them. I guess it's not really any different than saying butthead or something similar though.
But my parents also didn't make a big out of language in movies or the occasional slip up. I think when you say shit and then go "oh my gosh, that's a bad word, don't repeat it" then the kid takes an interest.
My two year old learned the word fuck
If he drops something, sometimes he says oh fuck!
I think its funny, he didn't get it from me though, as bad as I am I don't swear in front of children
But like htc said, I don't bring attention to it, and I haven't heard him say it in a few weeks now
My now 19 year old brother and his best friend used to intentionally teach my then ~3 year old brother swear words.
And then Rudy would walk into a room and say shit or fuck or something and my mom would ream my dad about how he swears too much when he's watching sports. My poor dad. He caught so much flak for something he wasn't even doing wrong!!
He used to swear a lot in front of us when we were young, and one of us turned out fine and the other has been swearing since he was like 9. lol. Ruy has, thankfully, since grown out of his swearing phase. I just hope he doesn't turn out like his big brother and start picking it up again.
I try really hard not to swear too much around Abigail, but there's been a few occasions where I've slipped up and said one, and then I laugh and say "ooh, mommy shouldn't say that in front of you." and she laughs. Other times, she's repeated the word right after I've said it when I didn't realize I had said something. Hearing an innocent little two year old girl say "pussy" after you've called someone that over the phone in front of her...that's something else...lol
Hahaha! It's always funny when kids laugh for mom or dad slippin' up :24: Glad your little brother grew out of that though. I used to have a friend who, between her and her sister, taught their little brother to swear. He's six, and I've never heard as many cuss words in an entire football game than I have after spending a few hours with that kid. :ninja
My other brother is a jackass..haha. He loved the fact that my dad got into trouble for it.
I'm glad he's outgrown it, too. He's autistic, so he gets frustrated very easily...and very often. I can only imagine him dropping swear words in front of the other kids at daycare! lol
I said oh shit this afternoon and Liam goes Oh shit mommy... I then say Liam.. mommy says that but please don't say that.. Mommy was bad fore saying that.. then he goes oh shit mommy bad... Mommy sorry? I nod and he kisses my cheek and goes it's ok..
My mom is sitting on the couch pissing herself laughing at the little exchange... I on the other hand am cursing myself upside down and sideways in my head.
