[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why having rules about cursing are dumb to begin with. It’s not the word itself that makes something rude or obscene it’s the idea. You created this situation years ago when you first made f*ck a big deal. Now your kid is obeying the rule but you want to move the goalposts. It makes you look capricious and petty and takes away some of your own authority/power. You should have made a rule about being rude so that your little lawyer in training wouldn’t have a loophole. I also don’t see why you would feel the need to limit a basic human expression like WTF. It’s a valid comment to make in many situations. [/quote]

Sorry, but disagree. It’s always people who have a hard time with social rules who say stuff like this. Not everyone gets to use any word in any context around any set of people. That’s just the way it is. I don’t call your mother “mommy.”  To that extent, OP - I have the same issue with my kid. My rule is that he does not speak this way to or around adults. It’s playground language for him to use with his friends. He might as well learn to code switch now. [/quote]

Curse words are arbitrary. Your example also doesn’t make sense. Why would another child call you “Mommy”? It’s not offensive it’s just illogical. And yes as far as I am concerned a person can use any word they like as long as they are not being mean. Why would anyone care beyond that? Other humans don’t exist just to satisfy your personal ego/power trip. [/quote]
