What do you think? I can see why some people are up-in-arms about it but I'm sure at some point or another the majority of us are going to experience our LO cussing, if you haven't already, and I think it's actually a funny "real" scenario that parents have to deal with.

Why I absolutely love Modern Family is that their shenanigans poke fun at real life. If parents cuss, their toddler is going to parrot what they say. I think it only reminds me as a mom to be careful about what I say or do because Gideon is watching and listening.

People need to chill the hell out, seriously....

I thought it was the funniest thing ever when DD started saying "Oh Sh*t" at 18 months....she stopped saying it within a couple of weeks.

I think people are uptight, its something that happens in most families.

Were people all up in arms about The Landlord video? That was a lot of toddler cussing. It is going to happen and I think it is hilarious. People need to get over themselves

Seriously people. The toddler actor didn't actually swear, the 'swearing' is bleeped out; the show is addressing that kids hear us clearly and mimic our behavior. What the heck is flameworthy about that? I bet it's the same group of people that think if we avoid saying the word 'sex' around kids it won't happen...

I have no problem with it, although my DD dropped the F bomb at daycare when she was a little over a year old.

I can't tell if my DD is telling her toys to sit or sh!t. DH and I look away and giggle.

Omg, lol at the 17 year old who started the No Cussing Club. I'm guessing that club meets in his parents basement and consists of him and his Mom.

DS has repeated me saying "aw, crap" and "that sucks". It's just part of parenting and I love modern family.

I was thinking about the same thing. Although I will add that they stopped making those when Will Ferrel's daughter (Pearl?) started actually swearing in regular conversation.

This is why we're trying so hard not to swear around DS. He only ever goes to the nursery at church and I'd be so embarrassed if he dropped the f-bomb in front of those people. lol

Couldn't have said it better myself. ;-) Also, if people are getting super up-in-arms about this, they have waaaay too much time on their hands.

Also, I have to share that when DS says he's sitting down, he said, "I shiiiting." I say...oh, you're SITTING? But deep down, I think it's hilarious.

People who are tripping over THAT need to watch this.

Yep, agreed.

I don't understand how people can be up in arms about this. So stupid.

I know the writers and creators of MF (<--zomg but what an inappropriate acronym!) have said many times that they base their episodes on things that have actually happened in their own families. I don't get the big deal.

I think the kid should do a Tebow after "swearing".

Yes

People who are flipping out over that should call CPS on us, because I, for the life of me, can't get my DS to stop saying sh!t. Every time we think we've got him switched to "shoot" indefinitely, he surprises us again with his favorite 4-letter word.

Tongue Tied

I'm sorry, but why are people upset? The child doesn't even really say it IRL so there's no argument there. Ummm, it's a comedy show? I'm so confused by most of the general public.
