POTTY MOUTH
I am taking a survey, from all of you parents. It is regarding you're children's diverse language used, in the midst of frustration. For example, the other morning, I asked my son to rebrush his teeth. He carefully put toothpaste of his brush. All of a sudden, it ended up on the floor, toothpaste side down. I am 100% sure that I heard him say "SH..!" I was only a few inches away from him, I know what I heard. I said, "what did you say?" He said, "I said...shoot." I thinking, sure you did. Not to make a big deal out of it, I left it at that.
It was far too early in the morning to, get into a big dicussion. Again, the school bus was, only minutes away. I'm kind of a progressive parent, I guess you would say. In my opinion, the bigger the deal that you make about something; the bigger of a deal you're kids will make of it too. In other words, don't draw too much attention to, something that you don't want to happen again. It's like anything else. For instance sex and drinking. I keep those two potential problems, out in the open. My parents handeled the drinking thing properly, but not the sex.
I intend on doing a better job, on that aspect of adulthood. It's along the same lines as, the girl or boyfriend that you may hate as a parent. The bigger the stink, the bigger the deal. I'm not saying that, I plan on ignoring my 11 year olds uneventful bad language. However, if sh.. is the only thing bad that he comes off with, I'm happy. Like both my Mom and husband said, where do you think that he probably get's that anyway? However, don't drop the F bomb. There is nothing worse then, a child saying the F word. It make me crazy! It makes my Mom nuts as well, she tells me.
Back to my survey. Let me know if, you're facing a potential Potty Mouth problem in your home. I'd like to see where American parents like me stand, on this issue. Get the soap out ya'll.
