[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 264045, member: 7083"] I don't mind those words and if those were the only words difficult child 2 used, I'd be thrilled. It's the derogatory language and other things that bother me. And there is no substitute for them. I just don't want to hear them at all. Some of the expressions kids have come up with are just really gross. I can't even think of a way to type them so that they would be understood without being offensive. For that stuff, he gets flicked on the head if he's in range. His mom and I have kind of taken roles so that he's not always feeling picked on by one person. Language is one of my roles. difficult child doesn't swear - at least not around me. easy child didn't swear around me until about a year or so ago. And now it's getting to the point of too much. But...if I tell him to substitute with other expressions he'd just use them ALL the time - and loudly - to be a pest. And that would be more annoying. I've tried it in case you couldn't tell. But, I have to say...I'd rather hear carp (with the 'a' and 'r' reversed) than fecal matter. That one's just a bit too descriptive for me. :raspberry-tounge: [/QUOTE]
