    It's weird. I swear in front of DD but she would never dream of swearing. She won't even say shut up.

    I have always told her that only adults are allowed to swear. Not sure if that has anything to do with it

    I'm a shocking swearer, DS has picked up the F word and the S word, when I first heard him say it, I did the big over reaction thing and a very firm "DO NOT say that word!" then wnt on to explain that its not a nice word and mummy and daddy shouldnt be saying it either.
    In saying that I have tried to curb my language a bit in front of him, using creative add in "fudge" "flippy flop" sugar...etc...
    now he tells me off if he hears me swear, he grabs my hand and looks at me with a big frown, "dont say that word mummy!!!" ahh kiddies...

    Vic had a phase of "ohh *****" - and used it in context (fluke) in front of MIL, when he dropped his sippy cup and turned around and said oh Sh**
    i changed the poo word for "shoot" or sharr (star) and he stopped it in a bout a week.
