I want the BAD WORD list?

[kfiedler]

I do somewhat agree, yes people do need to watch there langauge. And yes I can not control what my kids are going to repeat. BUT I can CONTROL wether they will repeat it again. If I tell them it is a no no word then they know that they should not repeat it, and if they do then maybe some favoite toy will disapear for a while. or they can sit in the corner, and think about listening to mommy the next time.

In my experience the bigger deal someone makes about a word the more a kid will pick up on the fact that someone is making a big deal about it. I'm not saying you should go around constantly cussing around kids but if that parent is constantly correcting you the kids gunna pick up on the fact that she doesn't like that word and they will use the word to experiment anyway.

if you happen to say something like that I think that a parent should ignore it at first and then if she really has a problem with you speaking that way she should send you a note or talk to you away from her child asking you to please not use those words around her kid. The reason kids repeat cuss words so often in my opinion is because they are so intense and used a lot in the heat of the moment.

Like I said before. If a word happens to slip out undetected and my children don't take notice that is fine. but any word said that they do take notice, it isn't said just once. It's never said just once. and my kids need to be guided on whats appropriate and whats not. I don't what them to experiment. But also like I said before my family is all on the same page so it is rare when someone lets one slip, mainly it is what they hear in public, which DOES need to be nipped in the butt, before my daughter start yelling "WHAT THE HELL!!" at the mall.

I don't want mine to experiment either. I was stating that if they hear it emphasized thet will probably say it to see what happens when they do.

I don't know if you were commenting on my reply or not but just so you know I wasn't commenting on yours I was commenting on the posters post on page one. the one who started the thread

Okay, I've got it. You don't need to dispute anymore. I have the only "bad word" list you'll ever need, directly from George Carlin. Here are the 7 "bad words":

sh!t
p!ss
f*ck
c*nt
c@cks*cker
m@th#rf*cker
t!ts

(By the way, just so no one is offended, that is from a skit done by George Carlin, whom I love as a comedian)

i know that some people dont like their children to hear bad words, like my sister-in-law she makes sure to say "aunt ray ray said a bad word" and that i dont mind because she is just letting my nephew know not to say that word. but if it goes to the extreme where you have to monitor every little thing that you say thats too much. i personally dont condone little guys cussing but i also know that they are inevitably going to hear "bad words" it is our jobs as parents to let our kids know what words we shouldnt say. holy moly and sassy in my book arent bad and neither is gay or oh my goodness. lets face it in the world that we live in today people are going to say bad words if we overprotect our children how are they supposed to function in the real world. i just think that never letting your child hear any bad words makes for a really naive child and young adult. that being said if my SIL asks me to watch my language i do just that. we all have different parenting styles and we should respect each one.

I agree with haleymom07.

everyone makes such good points. i can see both sides of the story. it all boils down to respect. when i say this i mean.. if you go to someones house and you are asked not to say a certain word, remember that it's their home, their rules. I know i have a horrible mouth at times, especially when I'm really frustrated, but 'm learnign to curb it because i myself feel that im disrespecting my child when i swear. Does that make sense? of course words are gonna slip out.. no ones perfect... and if it happens then you correct the mistake and try not to do it again I"ve learned I can make up some pretty good words when i get upset. lol.
of course when kids go to school theyr'e gonna hear things,then they're gonna test that wordwhen they get home. its inevitable. but if parents want to start early with certain words that aren't allowed, i say go for it. i know i am.

I agree that this can be a tough issue. My rule is that I don't use language around my son that I wouldn't want him to repeat. And I don't use language that I wouldn't want to be used in reference to me. But I know someone who uses what I consider to be abrasive language with her kids, yet she told her kids that "grumpy" is a bad word. Give me a break! He's one of the 7 dwarves, for pete's sake! Bottom line, find out ahead of time what your friends/family consider offensive, and do your best to comply.

I think this out of control is coming from school. My cousin got in trouble for saying stupid in school (not calling someone stupid but saying something was stupid to one of her friends.) I told my aunt that was ridiculous and didn’t agree on her getting punished for that. They don’t allow words like stupid, crap, dumb and the other big words. Parents that don’t want us using words like this around their kids must be in a situation like this. What I disagree with though is that when I am having an adult conversation with a friend the kids shouldn’t be involved. When my little cousin or 8 yr old step daughter butt in (oyea butt is on that list too) when I’m having a conversation I tell them “this is a conversation for adults only.”
