Language

Long as they learn to keep crumbs off the couch then get fuckin cozy little one

I'm ok with the kid saying that.

My Toddler: "Dammit"

His Mom: 🤨

Me: "It was not me. I haven't smashed any of my fingers lately."

Nothing wrong with the language

I mostly agree, but it's way easier to teach a kid not to swear at all, than to teach them about when it's appropriate and when it isn't.
- Respectfully, I think the inverse is true. A kid is going to use the words anyway, all you're doing by trying to prevent them from using them is signaling that you aren't a safe person for them to be themselves around.
  Teaching my kid not to use certain words sometimes was easy and went something like this: "Some people (like grandpa and when you're at school) don't like to hear words like 'fuck', and it's good to be nice to people, so if you aren't sure whether someone wants to hear 'fuck' then try to avoid it."
- In this case it seems the kid got it right.
- Or do away with forcing future generations to vilify a tiny set of words just because.
  The word Fuck is basically an exclamation mark now.
- I disagree. It's way easier to talk how I normally talk and teach the kids about it than it is to censor myself at all times and teach them something that I know I won't do and they won't do for long.

Curse in french, it's like wiping your ass with silk... And your kids will sound fancy.

C’est confortable comme de la merde
Ok, the problem is the kid speaks mainly French, so that doesn't help as much _'
Sack ree blue, y'all
- Bon apple tea

My friends spawned a miniature human recently and I have been encouraging them to replace swear words with the word "Belgium". First because its a HHGttG reference, second, is that its a joke that will take a long time to pay off. In a few years, when the kid is in school and starts trying to learn/repeat bad words they are going to try swearing in a deeply funny way. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at that parent-teacher conference.

Kids really are sponges and it is horrific what they will pick up.

Not related to cursing but my 4 year old daughter explained to me yesterday that it's really important to flush the toilet after pooping because otherwise wolves from the forest will enter the house through the piping.
- Smart kid. I've been flushing & the wolves never got me.
