Curse Words

So the boy has decided he'd try cursing on for size as of late...I guess it's the cool thing to do when you're 8 years old!

Though I'm not really sure the words he's using are even considered curse words these days. As a child I was never allowed to use the word "crap". To my parents it was just as bad as the eff word...but these days it seems common practice. The other one he really likes is "heck"...I know not a curse word at all...but not a nice word either. Lastly there's "crud"...again not even close to a curse word...but when he says "oh crud"...it makes my skin crawl.

Now don't get me wrong...I've got a potty mouth...a really bad one, except when children are present of course...when that's the case I can clean it up real quick...and I've never been one (even as an adult) to curse in front of my elders.

Does it bother me that my boy is growing up and therefore trying on a few more 'adult like' words??? Yeah I guess that's really the only explanation, isn't it?

The problem is that there are too many parents who don't care if their kids curse or they don't discipline their children for any wrong doing. I am not innocent in the cursing department, but I try not to swear in front of kids. I guess the thing is to decide which words you feel are wrong or the context in which they are being used, and have a discussion with your boy about it. He's doing this because all kids test limits but also probably because other kids he knows do it and are not disciplined for it.

Anyhoo, since you're his mother, you'll figure out what the right course of action is! :) Good luck!

Until then.. enjoy his innocence.

My girls haven't tried it on their own yet, but I remember them repeating a few things they'd "heard" when they were younger. Ay yi yi.

That's not too bad! But I know how you feel. Aiden has already picked up the words darn and stupid and I hate hearing him say them! At this point, all I have to do is tell him that it sounds ugly to say words like that and he stops. I'm not sure how long that's going to last...
