Toddlers: 24 Months+

Uh...LO dropped the "F" bomb...

I'm incredibly embarrassed but I so know it happens.  About a month or so ago, we were having dog-pooping-in-the-house issues and a few choice words came out of mommy's mouth one afternoon upon scrubbing the carpet for the millionth-time.  I was home alone and had to do it.  Shortly thereafter, the dog ran away one day (temporarily) and daddy did the same with a short expletive. 

Now, we typically do not use foul language at all around DD but this was literally like 2 months ago and that was it.  Yesterday, she's holding her baby, digging in the dirt and tells baby, "I can't f----ing hold you and play in the dirt!"  I ignored it and she said it 2 or 3 times more.  However, when I told her that was not a nice word, she looked at me like I was insane and said, "Dirt?"  So I dropped it.  There's absolutely no doubt in my mind she has not heard it at daycare (center); it was likely us but months ago, on 2 occasions and in the right context?  Can they recall that at 2 years?

Advice?  Do you ignore or call them on it?  In the interim, I plan to wash my own mouth out with soap....Embarrassed

  • If I wasn't laughing so hard, I'd try to come up with some advice for you.  Unfortunately, the only thing to do is try not to use it, chastise yourself and DH whenever you use foul language and keep reminding her that is not a nice word to use.

  • LOL!!  We had some people remodeling our house this summer and I don't think they knew we were there at the time (they were outside in the garage) and I heard one of them say God D*** it.  Well, I thought my DS hadn't heard it, but we were outside later and he dropped a bucket of rocks and out it came.  I was so surprised that he knew how to use it in context.  I told him that was a very bad thing to say and if he wanted to say something to say "God is good.''  He slipped up a few times, but thankfully, it's been about 2 months since he's said it so I think he's finally forgot it although he still says "God is Good".

  • LOL that happened to me too. lol.

    One day I was in the kitchen in a rush to make dinner, had a load of laundry and I was suppose to call my doc's office to make an appt and had togo to work that afternoon.

    Ds was sitting there eating a  snack and I accidentally spilled some sauce on my only work shirt and said " oh sh..t "        Ds then stands up on the chair put his arms up in the air and out loud repeats what I said" OH Sh_t"    I looked at him and saw he had spilled some of his milk on his shirt.   I ignored it at first because I was so shocked and didnt know how to handle it . I figured if i make a big deal  he's gonna keep using it.    After that . I went to get a towel to clean up my shirt and just said " OH NO" and then he repeated that so i kept saying that in hopes of him forgetting the bad word i had said.

     

  • Just keep ignoring it unless it becomes a real problem.  For the last few days, DS's favorite phrase has been "what the crap".  Oops...  I'm just not paying any attention to it and changing the subject.
