I felt awful being told she has said that... Yet she's never said it at home before. Apparently she knew she had said wrong as she went all quiet after. And said "sometimes daddy says bad words"

My then 3 year old came home from daycare one day repeating "omg what the fuck" over and over again... we had a big talk about "grown up words" after that.

Don't feel awful, kids pick up things sometimes after hearing it once ☺️ when my little brother was like 2-3 I accidentally said "looks like your diaper is full of shit" and within seconds he was chanting "poopy shit, poopy shit" 🤣

My 4.5 year old the other day after I dropped my coffee and it smashed and went everywhere said as clear as day
“Oh fucking hell mummy what a mess!”
They’ll say bad words, we’re all only humans and will slip up. I’m awful for swearing 😂

I wouldn’t stress at all. They are going to pick up on things that are said

I think the more of a big deal we do the more they may say the word. The forbidden gets a reaction they find it amusing 😂

My daughter when she was 2 heard my brother say "fuck sake".. the followimg day off she went to nursery saying fuck sake at everything. Her teachers pulled me aside at pick up and told me. i was mortified however they found it absolutely hilarious. I see the funny side now 🤣

6 minths ago My nephew suddenly at the dinner table said "fuck me sideways" came put of nowhere, my OH fell off his seat laughing which made it all the harde for my SIL to tell him that those words are naughty, but he hasn't done it since and we see them a lot

I think I would’ve bursted laughing if someone told me my daughter said that🤣 I don’t care much if she cusses (she doesn’t yet which I’m kinda surprised she hasn’t accidentally repeated some) but they’re just words. It happens, just explain to her if you don’t want her saying it and why.

Honestly, I’m on the train of as long as you’re not using it at someone (Fuck you, you’re a name, look at your shit) then it doesn’t hurt anyone. Idk if everyone’s up for that but it’s what makes sense to me 😅
My biggest thought is we don’t use words to hurt people. Cuss words are just words, but when used to hurt people they become bad words. I don’t want my baby to hurt people, but I don’t really care if they say “oh shit” when they fall.

Skye probably heard it and is copying with no clue what she’s saying. If someone slipped up and said it around her then that’s probably how she heard it. Just explain why it’s wrong to say stuff like that. Not considered bad parenting.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

My 2 year old tells the dog she'll "kick up the arse" we have never said that so I don't know where she's got it from 😭😂 kids say things, correct them and move on. Don't feel awful and don't let anyone make you feel awful for it either x

Talk to them about grownup words and when they can and can’t use them.
