[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2 year old suddenly won't let me wipe her when changing her diaper.  She will scream out "No wipe PUSS!  No wipe PUSS! Diaper on pwease!"  while sobbing and squirming.

Told DH this and he blames me for the "puss" language.  Which is probably true.[/quote]

I'm laughing my butt off on most of these, but this one made me cringe.  Are you trying to raise a trashy daughter?[/quote]

The orginal poster is a troll.  I have seen the SAME comment in another thread.  [/quote]

This is the original poster.  Wow, lots of uptight people on this thread.  Actually, no, I'm not a troll, and my family is DEFINITELY not trashy (although we are probably very, very eccentric).

DH and I were both raised with very little hangups on language.  We mind our p's and q's in public, and some of the pearl-clutching, judgy posters on this thread is why we do, but there is frankly no word in the English language that makes me cringe, as long as the person saying it is not being cruel or mean in intent.  Damn's and hell's are spoken freely around our house, and around our children.  Judge away!

DH turned out extremely fine, and is quite an admired public figure.  Our philosophy is to teach our children that words should not have such a hold over them.  It is a weakness, and one that other people can exploit.  Words are just tools, after all.

DH is actually not that upset about the puss situation.  He is more annoyed that our almost 3 y.o. is talking in whole sentences but still not completely potty-trained despite the efforts of six adults.  He thinks that's really not cool, and I agree it's a little unnerving to have a child come up to you and demand that you change her because she just pooped.  Which is a topic for another thread, I suppose.[/quote]

You see damn and hell as a similar thing to teaching your daughter to use a derogatory word for her vagina? Do you also call her a bitch? Because if anything, that's a word that can be used to exploit a woman, so you should be teaching your child to expect to be called a bitch (by calling her one) so that she can deflect any kind of hold it may have over her.
