Do you allow your kids to say...

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

Dork is the technical term for a whale's penis, so I can understand that one.

DS is allowed to say whatever I say: makes me watch my language! He sometimes comes home with the odd word/phrase from nursery I don't like (eg go away or shut up) and I tell him that's not nice. It's OK to ask for alone time and it's OK to ask someone to be quiet, so I have to work hard on modelling that (and not just screaming at DH and DS "stop touching me! Stop it! Further away! Go outside! I can't cope!" as I did last month).

Nope! I don't allow shut up, stupid, idiot, dumb, crap or bugger! They do let them slip so obviously they say them at school.

LOL @ dork! My aunt told us it was a males penis when we were teenagers which made the word even more fun for us.

I understood dork when I got older, just didn't think it was fair as a kid when everyone around me was allowed to say it!

I don't really say stupid & shut up myself, but how my kids got through without saying some of the other things I say i really don't know I always made it clear that that they were grown up words only....its worked so far...not sure what that says about me though, lol.

They use silly, shoosh, not fair, annoying, lol. They do tell each other to go away, but I can't stop that with the way they annoy the crap outta each other. (Yes I say crap, they don't...)

I don't even let my kids say fart Although now that they're older I overlook it if it is said. A 13 yo boy saying pop off is a little strange

[~clover~]

Lol...DS says fart already...

[Pretty Butterfly]

Nope I dont let my kids use any of those words... even my 13 yr old!!!

It sounds awlful, and is extremely disrespectful. I dont speak to people that way, they dont speak to me that way, and i expect my kids to be the same.

Although at school... well.... how would you know, little buggers!!!

My kids know the diffence between "Not nice" words and "swear" words, and neither are ok here.

No stupid, dumb, shutup, idiot in our house. I also don't like fart either

DD1 (3.5yrs) has started saying 'stupid' and we are trying to put a stop to it. I think she gets it from childcare. She is allowed to say 'silly' but not 'stupid'. We also don't allow 'shut-up'. She said it to me once and was in so much trouble. She is asked to say 'please be quiet' or 'shoosh please'.

No I wouldn't allow these words either, we don't at work, also don't like kids saying things like i'm going to kill you.
