  • She already says the first two.

    The other two I'll not allow.

     

    Edited to add - I am iffy about crap. I guess I don't think of it as being a bad word.

  • Butt and fart?  Those really don't bother me.  No, they're not pretty words, but they don't bother me.

    I hate the word crap.  I'm guilty of using it, but I hate the word.  I would prefer him not say that or shut-up, but realistically I'm sure they will pass through his lips one day or another.  I won't say either around him, but I'm sure he's going to hear them.

    You take my ovaries, I take your yarns.
  • I am not PROUD, but my kid already says fart and butt.

    I say shut up all of the time, so I am sure that one will be inevitable...I will not encourage dirty talk- but in our home, it will probably be ok- my fam had very specific rules about "bathroom" language..and none of us were publicly profane, but at home we're a colorful bunch. I think you should let loose around the house!

    I adore all of the facets of the english language-including the silly and the vulgar.

     my kids will not be allowed to swear.

  • She already says butt.  I'm not sure what a good euphamism for fart is, so I guess she can use that one if she feels the need.  The other two I'd prefer she not use and will tell her those are not nice words, but I won't be as strict as with other words I find more offensive.
  • I need to add: I don't think that shut up is ok as far as telling someone to be quiet...I just habitually say it more in terms of " no way," or "really?"

    I won't let these kids be sass machines.

  • DD already says fart and butt.

    shut up and crap, no.

  • I will try to avoid them using those words.  But the first two arent awful, but there are nicer words.
  • I am really bad about saying Crap, but I don't want DS to pick it up.  So lately, I have been saying Cracker instead.  It was an easy transition, and it sounds better to me.  LOL. 

    We do say butt, but we never say shut up and I don't like fart, but it is what it is.

  • I don't think the first two are that bad.  I call her butt a butt, just because I can't get used to saying anything else. I don't usually say fart because I like toots better.  Hearing dh say daddy tooted is funny.  I say shut up all of the time in a-OMG she did that shut up! kind of way but never in a shut up kind of way so I don't know if she will pick that up.  And I say sh!t way more than crap so here's to hoping she doesn't pick that one up! I'm trying to stop!
