Fuck : My son just said the 'F' word!
 

Maybe naieve, but I have been trying to protect my son from the 'F' word and was proud to have never yet sworn in front of him.

But he just caught me posting here and read out the three imortal words "Go Fuck Yourself" when he saw it on the screen. :Oh crap

One of the dangers of working from home, I guess. Happy to report that he has not get witnessed any DP or similar. Guess it's just a question of not if but when...

"Fuck : My son just said the 'F' word!"

wonder where he got it ;)

That's fucked.

Tell him to fuck off

lol thanks for the parental advice SayWhut :thumbsup

How old is your son ? :)

He's 23 :1orglaugh



Perhaps its not so bad, you can now teach him that its wrong to be using such a word before he hits school (if he's not already)

put a door on your office and neer let him in there

Hmm... let me guess... :1orglaugh

I don't care if kids swear. He's gonna start swearing and you can't stop it. Just teach him the right WAY to swear. If he calls someone a cunt ... that's offensive and can be pretty antisocial... if he says fuck, when he smashes his hand in a door ... don't shout at him... he just smashed his hand in a door! :P

Etc....

Despite the word 'Fuck' being arguably one of the most diverse words in the English language ( see https://youtube.com/watch?v=OMp-zkTE4Ng) , it still annoys me to hear kids swear...

Tsk tsk letting your son see GFY..

Anywho just explain to him how bad of a word it is.. Buthow old is he?

As MrWilson said, he is 23 - here he is celebrating his 21st Birthday a couple of years back...

really fucked up

haha, your son is 23 and your worried about him saying fuck

How old he is? Why is this a problem? He is ultimately going to be a porn gangsta even before 18 ..

:1orglaugh

How many kids do you have? I'm curious on how your system works with the school system =)

don't know if this age 23 thing is some kind of a joke or not, but at age 23 I had been to a war and back already. swearing was the least of my evils.

Yes, sorry, sick joke. He is actually 7.

I said he was 23 and i was joking :thumbsup

appoligies to anyone who i mislead.

i started swearing at such an early age, my dad always swore at the traffic when they would not let his car into the stream.

ah for fucksakes

that means he already said the 'n' word before

did you clip him over the ears ?

lol hey pinkbits this is 2008, that's not pc anymore!

I just ignored it and pray he does not repeat it to his mates at school on Monday!:1orglaugh

Ideally, swearing should only be used in situations like the hand smashing scenario PunchBunny Dave alluded to earlier. 'Fuck' kinda works then.

But what shocks me is the amount of swearing on UK TV nowadays.

The F word used to be quite rare, nows its use seems widepread and commonplace...

holy jesusfuck.

As long as its not psudeo profanity which I hate even more than people who use profanity a lot. If I here some church lady or some shit drop her carton of eggs in the store and yell fudge again I may loose it. It is the same damn thing, everyone knows your cursing and changing it to another word is in no way any more better nor should it be accepted.

It's Gordon Ramsay's fault. :2 cents:

I'd wash his mouth out with soap

If your kid's old enough to read it, I can assure you he's heard it plenty of times.

I argee with not swearing around him, but you're not really protecting him from anything...unless you have he chained to a ball in his bedroom.

I'd love to hear how that statement makes any sense whatsoever.

Yeah, I get the impression he almost does it on purpose now, but maybe that's just me being cynical...

You did the right thing; nothing. No reason to keep passing our parents irrational taboos down to the next generation. Of all the crazy trivialities people obsess about, fear of magic words is one of the most incomprehensible. Not putting that nonsense into their brain makes more room for prioritization of real rights and wrongs.

Ya so.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Welcome to fatherhood

Thanks DareRing, though to be honest it was probably shock more than anything else lol

But. upon reflection, by "banning" a word one is merely glorifying it...

Thats really fucked up.

Watch an evening with Kevin Smith 2. He deals with this subject in detail you should check it out FUCK FUCK FUCK!

Kevin Smith? Never heard of him. Is this because I am am a Brit?

why is the computer set up where your child can see it? especially if you're doing adult business things on it?

Because I work from home Mandy. To my knowledge GFY is the only "porn" he has seen so far. He saw it on my laptop. He does not have a computer in his bedroom, nor will he is the foreseeable future. Want him to avoid contact with us lot as long as possible lol
