really? i thought it was the other way around ;)

Or y'all just have potty mouths around the impressionable kids. Time for you and the OP to have a talk with the kids about bad words and why we shouldn't say them.

Apparently you must think they keep their kids cooped up in the house all day. They probably heard it from the outside world, but immediately blame mom or dad because they live under a rock and can only hear it from them.

#25-- little kids pick up words every where. As soon as they notice that certain, taboo words get a reaction from adults, or get them attention, they tend to repeat those words as much as possible. The idea of 'bad words' is difficult for little kids to understand. When they stop getting a reaction, they stop using it. The parents should definitely talk to her, though, about public and private language.

well, they're 4 and 5, not eight or ten. at that young age, parents are where they get most of that stuff from

Holy judgement, batman!! 1) My son doesn't cuss as a 4 year old. I could -see- him making something up like that when he's older.. like quite a bit older. 2) My husband and I don't cuss around our kid. 3) He knows not to say certain words- cuss words or anything negative (like calling someone 'stupid' or anything like that). 4) He's got a sense of humor and comes up with creative renditions of songs and stuff all the time. Which is mostly what I was referencing in my post. But, like OP, I would be shocked if he sang 'Roudolph the red nose asshole' right now.. 5) I would ALSO imagine that OP is writing an FML about it because it's a bit of a shock to her! As in also shocked that her daughter would even -know- those words! Sometimes kids CAN learn words away from their parents. My son was in a preschool where I actually heard a parent screaming and cussing at her child (for wanting a drink of water). (And keyword "WAS" at that school. I yanked him out of there after ONE week, and quit my job to stay home with him!) This was apparently far from the only incident that he heard yelling and cussing at this preschool... because he would come home and ask me what certain words were and why people were yelling.... (We also don't raise voices in our house).

"It could be worse-" Downvoted. Then I read the rest of your comment. I stand by my decision. You're saying your much rather your toddler have the mouth of a sailor than sing regular old Christmas carols? Whaa?

Most toddlers can't talk well enough to sing carols. The word you're looking for is "child".

yes actually i would much rather hear OP's kids version. on of the worst things about christmas is all the shitty aongs i have to hear months on end.

sometimes it can't be help. I baby sat a four year old that learned bad things in preschool. His parents taught him it was wrong, but because he thought it was fun he always forgot.
