Comments on: Crikey, zounds and gnasher! http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/crikey-zounds-and-gnasher/ Welcome to the home of Beta Mum - who lacks the lifestyle and perfectionist tendencies of Alpha Mummy, but rubs along pretty well most of the time Sat, 22 Nov 2008 22:27:10 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Beta Mum http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/crikey-zounds-and-gnasher/#comment-906 Beta Mum Wed, 26 Sep 2007 20:23:54 +0000 http://www.cathykeir.co.uk/blog/crikey-zounds-and-gnasher/#comment-906 Ivan - welcome and glad to be of service! M&M - I bet those girlies hear worse at school. Mya - at least when they get to 4 or 5 they're a bit more sussed about when they can say what. Beta - so funny! I laughed out loud. Poor little innocent chap. MM - my parents have never said worse than bloody, and even that rarely. It would seem odd if they did. OM - parents of my daughter's friends sometimes look at me as if my youngest is polluting the brains of children without older siblings. Ivan - welcome and glad to be of service!

With the second, the first was already at primary school and heard it all there and told him. I collected the third from tea with friends recently and found all the older children riveted and giggling as she launched into a stream of four-letter words, all spoken in her sweet, innocent little voice. Now, I just concentrate on making sure they get the hang of time and place. And I'm a teacher. With the first one, I minded desperately.

Whenever I indulge myself, however, I always get the same response. They collapse with laughter, and 'mock' me, saying things like "Aaah! Mom said 'f***'", or "Aaah! Mom said 's***'." My parents never swore in front of me, when I was young. I have to confess that if they do it, now, I find it incredibly offensive, and have to force myself not to cringe!!!

My mother, expressing her displeasure at another driver as we went along in our car, let fly with a "you Dumb F@#!" Our son whipped his head around fast as could be as said, "Where?! Where?! Where's the dump truck". Sorry, son, you just missed it. We still giggle at the time when my son (now 9) was three.

But I do. You have to, don't you? I can't imagine having to cope with the fallout of Sprog telling his Granny to 'f*** off.' Gives me a migraine just thinking about it!

I swear to Olympic class standard - though I have to bite my tongue on occasion in front of the wee girlies at the stables (some of whom atually say things I don't and then I slate them for it...)
