[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I think we've all thought "brat" (maybe not? is it just me?), but "bitch" seems to me to be crossing a line-- esp. for a little girl-- what, by the time the kid is 6 is she going to be a cunt? I just don't even think of little kids that age as being "bitches." Sounds like there is going to be major drama in that family by the time the girl actually turns 10 or 11.[/quote]

There is a difference between criticizing and name-calling.  Calling your daughter a bitch is verbal abuse and it's only a matter of time before it slips out to her face.[/quote]

It's not verbal abuse if you are only thinking it, not saying it. What are you, the thought police? If unworried about everything I think slipping out, I would have to get a mind gag. [/quote]

She's mouthing it in her daughter's presence.  Short step to under the breath, from there to audible, and all the way to shouting it behind her as the door slams behind her at 13.  Of course we all think things like this and of course we all confess to our friends "sometimes my kid acts like such a jerk."  I just agree that "bitch" crosses a line for me that jerk or brat doesn't and that there's a difference between thinking s/he "acts like a" and calling your kid the actual name.[/quote]
