Remember No1 son (age 4 1/12 ) come running in one time shouting what sounded like "b0llo**s"! OH turned to him, (looking very guilty, it has to be said) and asked "J
- what was that?" "Rollocks, daddy, I need some rollocks for my boat"!!!
(After that we did toy with the idea of opening a Chandlery and calling it Rollocks & Bollards).0 -
that's really terrible. Really can't get my head around families who use that kind of language around their kids. I'd be asking nursery when they are going to challenge the parents of Keenan about it.0

Is it really acceptable to be naming somebody else's child on here?0

I think he is small, and would learn after some time. But it's your responsibility that you manage him. talk with politely as beating & too much scolding will cause condition worst. Scold but little bit, and tell him not to say such thing. I have also 4 year son, and he speaks some bad or slang words, and it troubles me.0

was out in the park with the 3 lads last friday, some teenagers were there, harmless enough, just being teens. But they swore once, and my partner politely told them there's kids here now and they need to watch their language.
It carried on, so i ended up having a word, well a stern word, seemed to keep them quiet for a while, but before long it was back. Thing is i dont blame them, theyre teenagers.
The important thing was to explain to our little ones that words like that arent acceptable.0 -
My daughter said 'b''s instead of 'f''s when she was little,so it wasnt too bad when she was shouting 'buck off' on a crowded beach on holiday....
We were on the tram recently and the automated "the next stop is" message kept coming on and my 2 year old was repeating what was said... I had to reiterate that it was ShiPstone Street very clearly - much to the amusement of various other tram passengers!Little miracle born April 2012, 33 weeks gestation and a little toughie!0 -
I would just ignore it, if you make a fuss so do they, our first son discovered the phrase p155 off when he was three he would happily yell that one out for a couple of weeks.0

I remember my son saying "Mother F....er" when he was 3. I asked where he'd heard it as it was a very bad word - he looked stunned, his eyes began to well up and he told me CBeeBies.
Turned out he was trying to say Makka Pakka from the night garden...
...and it does get worse when they go to big school, he's 10 now!0 -
Keenan probably has older brothers or/and sisters. It's not nice but littlies are often going hear horrible words from older kids. I would ignore, from my experience any reaction will cause more interest.
I have never heard my 9 year old swear but my 14 year old informed me that on the rollercoaster at Clacton he was shouting and swearing like a trooper. I really think that it's more about explaining when these words could be used rather than saying one should never use them. Obvs not at the age of 3 but later on!£608.98

I'm not sure a first (quite common) name is 'outing' the kid, if a surname was included or it was a really unusual name I would agree it's too much.
I'm guessing the point implied was that this kid probably has chavvy parents and, therefore, it's probably not going to help speaking to them about making their kid stop so maybe looking for other suggestions that don't involve speaking to the parents?
My primary school was full of these types of problem kids with illiterate, potty-mouthed teenage/young parents from problem families themselves. My head teacher was at his wit's end. In the end he excluded them all - well done that man!:T
There's far too much tolerance of these kids in schools which affects the education of the majority of good kids and all it teaches children is that if you're badly behaved then good you get rewarded, if you're good all the time you get nothing.“I want to be a glow worm, A glow worm's never glum'Coz how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?" ~ Dr A.
