That BLOODY CHAIR!" or "I don't like that BLOODY RICE!"<br />The laughter came to a screeching halt when she told her swimming teacher to "FUCK OFF!!" in a huge echoing tiled auditorium, and left me thinking "They think I'm the swearingest mother that ever did swear."<br />We gave her a stern talking to about publicly acceptable words, somewhere along the way I called "fuck" the f-bomb, and if she didn't hear anything else we said, she absorbed that. She did realise the "f" stood for fuck, so now when she hears any swear word she laughs and says "They did the f-bomb!", and we can laugh with her again, guilt free.smaugehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469665036342619608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644538309673050572.post-89460582404256919372014-03-07T17:16:30.392-05:002014-03-07T17:16:30.392-05:00I just found your blog and had to comment.

Our five year old with sensory issues was speech delayed and has articulation issues; he began speech therapy a year and a half ago (this after a doctor finally believed me that my son, who did not speak more than ten words until he was 2.5 years old, was not lazy in his speech). Last February, he picked up on the F word and came up to me and kept repeating it like it was a really cool word. The next week, his speech therapist sent a progress report home saying how our son was doing well with his "Fu" words. I was mortified. Fortunately, she did not mean THAT word. Whew. He still picks up on bad words and told his dad the other day (and his dad rarely says the F word) to "not say f--k; that's a bad word!" *sigh* I am trying not to cuss so much, but sometimes, the stress of dealing with him and his brother gets to be too much and it just flows.Stacey Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14352989875183758588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644538309673050572.post-1691040773348013252014-03-03T16:20:33.917-05:002014-03-03T16:20:33.917-05:00Monkey, constantly uses the word frigging..Why?

That was forever ago...moved on to bigger & better curse words. I try to filter more which is hard since I'm pretty sure my filter broke when I was about 5. But, my husband refused to stop, stressed that the kiddo had to learn there were things he could say and do as an adult that as a kid he couldn't. It has worked for the most part. I do hear shit and damn it once in awhile when he thinks no one can hear him. But, hey, that's advanced thinking, right?!

So, I quickly redirect the words to "Are you bugging me?" So, I guess at times the hearing impairment saves me from what he could say!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644538309673050572.post-12357969304003378182014-02-25T15:45:15.283-05:002014-02-25T15:45:15.283-05:00I know professionals always assume they get it at ...I know professionals always assume they get it at home, but as clergy family, words like this are really not used in our home! Except by my austie! I was indeed mortified, (esp since it could cause me to be questioned by my parishioners!) but then I got to think of another layer to it! Not just language usage, but he is experimenting with it! Playing with it! What an awesome abstract exercise! "Yay!

He'll drop it randomly, but usually just repeats it for the rest of the day.

(It was said very politely. My paras said that it was like hearing a Disney princess drop the f bomb.) Made the mistake of saying: Where did you learn to say a word like that? "You, mom." We got to discuss different words for different environments. And started a curse jar at home, that she controls like a CEO. Made the mistake of arguing how much money I owed. "No, first you said f*ck, then you said sh*t...." And proceeded to tell me all 26 words...in sequence. Egads. So, you are not alone. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
