Chop chop
My husband keeps encouraging our child to tell me to "chop chop." He thinks it's funny because he thinks I'm slow. I think it's teaching her bad manners. Thoughts?

@Ani thank you it is meant light hearted but yes I'm worried about long term effect 😁
I agree with you! It’s not something I would like my child to be taught.
I know, but lighthearted is ok once or twice but not continuously x

I would say this is potentially the type of thing that could lead to teaching how to make fun of people. I’d be uncomfortable with it myself and wouldn’t tolerate it personally. If your child is indirectly taught it’s ok to make fun of people it could even lead to bullying type behaviours if not taught that’s not ok. Probably young enough not to have any effect yet, but I definitely wouldn’t tolerate it myself. As cute and funny as it may be from a small child once, I agree, it’s bad manners to make fun of people.
