LOL, I know its hard not to laugh even though you know how naughty it is...Jayden knows when I'm about to laugh before I even start then he starts laughing, so I have to be so careful.
Phew!! Pleased I am not the only one DS is 21 months and said the F word the other day. I thought I must have been mistaken (because he refused to repeat it ) but he can clearly say truck, yuck, duck etc and the F was VERY clear.
He has said it a few times today - usually when he is frustrated or tired. I have started with some distraction and deliberate misunderstanding of "yes, we did see the truck" etc. That will be the limit until he uses it in context Cheeky monkey!! Daddy is on notice!!!!!
The best way I've found, is treating it like they've made up a word, or what they should have said was "blast off" so when he says it just say, "You mean blast off" or if they drop the F bomb I would say "Oh did you see a duck? Where is the duck?" or "Oh I love trucks, what colour is the truck?" I swear it works.
When my DD dropped the F bomb after hearing a friend of mine say 'for f*** sake' I tried everything to get her to stop, but honestly the only thing that worked was time. After about a week she forgot all about it.
A few yrs ago when we visited my grandma she thought she heard DS say *UNT to his cousin....i am pretty sure he didn't as we don't use that type of word but i still had to reasure old gran!
Then a couple of weeks ago i had a teacher ring me from the school cause he called someone a *ITCH in the playground, he got in alot of trouble at school over it and when i questioned why he said it he replied "they really annoyed me", i had to be serious but just felt like laughing at the same time....no idea where he heard that one from!
Hey well done getting to nearly 3yo!!! My DS of the same age said his first swear word nearly a year ago He picks up on what my frustrated 5yo sometimes says... mainly stemming from my 14yo DD and DH... strangely he doesn't mimic my occasional outburst... I don't use the "F" word... my swear word of choice is the occasional "S" word. But on the whole we aren't a swearing family. I actually put my foot down more about them saying OMG. DD used to say it quite a bit but lately she's calmed down a bit. 5yo still says it though to get a reaction and when my nearly 3yo hears him he now says "Don't say it! Gawd doesn't like it!!!" ROFL I hear that about 2-3 times a day.
I agree... largely ignore it... but if they start saying it in public you will have to explain that it's an ugly way to speak and that it's a bit like picking your nose; feels good but it's embarrassing to do in public. Well, that's what I tell my 5yo and it works for him! Likewise my 14yoDD.
