Swearing

A 5 year old should know not to swear? Sorry? 😂 They copy your speech and language, my son says "oh shit" all the time but in the right context like he drops something and says it. But he's 2 years old so can't necessarily tell him to not say it, my boyfriend swears all the time and I try to tell him to stop because soon enough our son will pick it up even more. Like swearing is common language to be honest but some words shouldn't be learned at such a young age like "cunt" is a big no for me. Tell him he's acting like a child not an adult

@Rhiannon my BF says his an adult and is aloud to swear and our 5 year old well learn she isn’t aloud to

I think if swearing is a common thing in your household then your kids will learn to swear. It's either your boyfriend stops or your child is going to learn more and more🤷

@Rhiannon well I don’t allow or want my kids to swear that’s me But he seems to think the kids should learn that an adult can swear if they want to cos they are an adult n that’s that.

They're too young to comprehend and understand that though, and if you can't put your foot down on it then I've got no other advice? Kick him out 🤷

@Rhiannon our daughter is 5 my sons are 15 & 11

Your boyfriend is an idiot if that's his logic 'i'm an adult and can do what I please, but an extremely impressionable child should know better' 😂🙄 He needs to realize that the children in your home will copy, set by example.

@L 💜 that's what I'm trying to say. Her boyfriend needs to grow the hell up

@Rhiannon sounds like a 12 year old himself with that thinking.

My husband definitely don’t have that mind set. My husband does swears a lot though. Our 5 year old son has picked up some words and we recently got a text from his teacher that he told one of his classmate “fuck you” and she wanted us to have a talk with him. I was disappointed but not surprised . I told my husband, I blamed him. He agreed. My husband had a talk with our son. We always redirect and explain why he can’t be saying things like that.

He goes mad if one of my sons says a swear word they are 15&11 he says oh our 5 year old will copy them yet when I say she could copy you when u swear tho he says his an adult n she will be taught adults can but kids can’t which I think is a stupid logic y not just nobody swear n only swear without kids about.
