[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are a lot of things I don't let my children say that their friends are allowed to say. "Oh my God" is one of them. We're Christian, but it has more to do with being strict about language and manners than strict about theology. My children aren't even allowed to say "yeah." It's not my business what your child says, of course. [/quote] PP, this intrigues me. I don't know of any family where children are not allowed to say "yeah." I heard of such families in the south, but not around here. Where were you raised?[/quote] I grew up here in Northern VA in the 1970s and 1980s to parents from NY and NJ, and we were corrected immediately ("Yes!!!!") if we said, "Yeah." "Yeah" sounds sloppy. I do the same thing now with my 6yo. I notice it when other kids speak nicely ("Yes" instead of "Yeah"), etc. Same as when I notice if they have nice eating manners, nice telephone manners, etc.[/quote]
