Today, I was babysitting my 6-year-old brother and was playing Mario. When I won, he called me a cunt. I was in shock and asked him where he learnt the word. He said from me when I was driving. He then told my mum that I taught him a new word. Easy to say, I'm in big trouble. FML

That kid is a little too smart for his own good. Better be careful what you say around him from now on.

Sure, words are just words, age is just a number, a country's flag is just cloth, etc. Different things are often symbols, or representative of something, and ignoring that fact on an individual basis doesn't make it any less true. Words are everything to humans, whether you accept it or not. Without words, we could not communicate, share, or express ourselves. Teaching a child that curse words have no meaning can damage their ability to express themselves and understand others. Sure, they will probably learn that society frowns upon the flippant usage of curse words, but if they already equate a word like "****" to "wow", then society probably won't be able to help them. Curse words are our most powerful tools for expressing disgust, shock, vulgarity, hate, etc. Teaching a child that such words are meaningless damages their ability to satisfactorily communicate what they are feeling in many situations. And if curse words have no meaning, why are other words so different that they get to have meaning? I just urge people to give this some real thought before effectively damaging their child's expressive ability.

So he knows it's not a nice thing to say, tell him now it's up to him to use it wisely, or forget it. You can't keep all insults and sore language away from your children, it is impossible, talk to your mother like a responsible young man that you are and tell her you will be more careful when he is around in future. Let's hope she understands, good luck OP.

I once stubbed my toe and said "shit" under my breath. My daughter repeated that two or three times before I was able to get her to stop. If he's saying it now that you've been out of the car for a while, you obviously say it WAY too often. You really do deserve this one because it doesn't sound like you said it just once or twice, but many times to get him to want to repeat it in the manner he is.

Oh well. You shouldn't get in trouble over those kinds of words anyway.

This is one of the big reasons I shouldn't be allowed around kids- I swear like a ******* sailor. Then again, the first word I spoke was apparently to exclaim "shit!" at something that upset me. That really should have been an indication of down the road. (Though, I also was apparently mostly mute prior to having my tonsils removed, ear tubes put in, and then having them taken out... Which was around age five I think. )
