Today my mum had our almost 4 year old daughter.. apparently she walked into a room and said to my step dad (her grandad) "what the fuck are you doing?"

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.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
