Alright, who taught my boy to... *Update*
swear??
Oscar's new words are s**t and gay. Not words in my day to day vocabulary, and he's only started saying them after my husband left for his new job so he's not to blame either (although both feature heavily in his speech at work - and only at work).
So own up, who did it?? Or please reassure me that he's just experimenting with sounds and they'll go once he's talking better? Please. I'm not reacting to them so he's not doing it for attention, it's just a shock to hear those words and I'm wary of taking him out in public
**********************************
Finally worked out he's saying SHIFT!! Have realised how much I say it, particularly when driving, and I asked him to get a shift on when he was slowly walking across the landing while I was carrying a heavy basket and he repeated Sh*t. Glad to figure it out as I was getting paranoid that I was swearing more than I thought

She also says f***, but that's her way of saying shrek. She pulls out the DVD saying f***, f***. Bless her
does he say them at anything in particular?
then there's the time i stubbed my toe and cried out b*****d, and he spent the rest of the day saying it, but i changed it to basket so when he said i would just say basket and he quickly made the replacement.
now i must confess with my older 2, once they hit about 2 and a half and could thoroughly understand what i was saying i taught them all the swear words i could think of, then ended the sentence with i never ever want to hear you say any of the words. and to my joy they have never used them. i just didn't want my children coming out of school f-ing and blinding one day thinking they were normal words.
DS2 used to say d*ck but meant 'this' so he used to point and say "d*ck" not good.
Hopefully hes just experimenting with sounds and will grow out of it soon. Hehehe! xx
