[quote=Anonymous]Meh, kids talk like that. Having said that, we have 1 or 2 certain phrases that are common in the vernacular, but are just not acceptable in our house. All the other kinds of expressions, bathroom humor, etc DH will tolerate (to an extent obviously), but we are sticklers about the 1 or 2 phrases that DH and I agree aren't acceptable under our roof. As you know already OP, your kid's outburst was out of spite b/c she was ticked off , surprised by your refusal to let her wear sunglasses to school, disappointed, etc. You know your kid best, but in addition to what I typed in the 1st paragraph I tell my kids "sorry, dude, ABC is a no-go especially b/c of XYZ". I think it helps them understand my reasoning (and the logic) as to why I'm not allowing/you can't do ABC and that I'm not saying "no" to something b/c I feel like it, but b/c there is a legitimate reason.[/quote]
