Don't feel too bad. My daughter called her brother a 'son of a bitch' when he stole a toy from her. I laughed too and then called her grandpa because he taught her that word. She learned 'shit' from me. oops.

My 3.5 year old? Says "Fuckin'" He thinks it's funny, and it was sort of funny at first. The thing is that I don't care if he swears, I just know OTHER people will. So we told him it's a "sad" word that it sometimes makes people sad so he should use something else and we provide alternatives. In reality though... it's totally funny to hear him say it. One day he told his Grandma she was an ass. That was funny too. Ha.

Our son went around for 2wks saying "fuck" before we realized he was saying "fork." The problem was that he never said it at the table, while holding a fork, never in context of course. We were mortified for 2wks until we finally got it.

Hilarious! I keep catching myself saying "crap" and praying my kids don't repeat it. My husband was trying to help our daughter understand why wiping was important and kept saying "bum hole" last night and he was being all mature about it and I couldn't stop cracking up! In fact, typing it just made me giggle like a 12 year old boy.

That's when you do what I do and say, "oh, he just said truck!" ;)

Don't feel bad! When my middle kid was getting eval'ed for speech therapy, a ball rolled past his foot and he stated "daaah fuck." The therapist looked at me, deadpan, "At least we know the delay isn't cognitive..."

We all go through it, so don't worry! It is kinda cute at first!

We have already discussed numerous times that Kylee says "shit. shit. shit" (sit. sit. sit.) Do I correct her? No. I laugh. Or smile deep inside. Because I know she's at an age where she's exploring words and I don't want to try and correct anything at this point. I wouldn't want her to stop talking all together. Plus? It's damn (oops) cute!

nah...not bad (unless you whisper it in his ear each night as he is falling to sleep to try and make him say it a lot).
my mom called a bit frantically one day right after i had jack and she was keeping bren. she said, "um, i may have taught bren a bad word. um, well, shit."
yep.
but then she figured out he was saying SIT to the dogs (like days later, when he was doing it again), as my mom was training a puppy at the time, too. i think shit is a much funnier thing to have taught him. :)
