Bugger

[Sarah&Braydon]

i really dont like it do u think Bugger is a swear word??
my sister is for ever saying it and guess wot now is Braydon and i dont think it is summit a 17 month old should be saying she says im being silly as iv asked her to stop sweaeing infront of him but she wont and it isnt just bugger she says its alot of others to and i deffo want Braydon saying things like sh*t
am i being totally unreasonable as she lives here to or do i have a rite to ask her not to say it

You have a right to ask her not to say it around Braydon but as its your parents house its up to them to ask her to stop it completely

 

[cassi]

no way you're not being unreasonable!! tell her to grow up, he is a baby!! Id be furious if someone constantly said things like that in front of Jakob and therefore he started saying them.....

 

[Misslarue]

You are definately not being unreasonable. Personally I don't think the word bugger is really a swear word, but I certainly wouldn't want my 17 month old son saying it. You have every right to ask her not to swear in front of Braydon and it dosen't matter if she thinks your being silly, its your son. Tell her straight! Good luck

No hun you're not being unreasonable at all. Ask her again nicely telling her your reasons why you want her to stop & if she still insists have a word with your Ma & Pa.

(We must stop saying naughty words in our house otherwise Jamie's first word will be one not to be repeated!!)

I agree, although it's not really a swear word it's not something you want your child saying. and it's not unreasonable for you to ask people around Braydon not to say things like that. I'd be firm with her. good luck

i dont think its a swear word, but still wouldnt want My children saying it! "oh sugar is better then "oh bugger"

although all Dior says when she drops something is "oh god" or "oh maaaan"

I say 'bugger' all the time in company of adults. I don't think it is swearing, but I would never dream of using it in front of friends and family's kids. Be really firm with her and tell her it is not on...get your parent's support too.

When i was in England with Thea my cousin was constantly calling her a little bugger. It did my head in. I'd be annoyed too Sarah, ask your mam to have a word with her.

it would do my head in, at the end of the day sarah B is yours and if your sister wont sort it out shes out of order, i dont think its classed as a swear word but if alfie ever said it id be really annoyed, kids copy everything now and you shouldnt be having to have these constant battles over things with her, tell her she will understand when she has a child untill then she should help you out by not using it in front of B it isnt asking alot!

Isn't she expecting remind her when her baby's born she won't want people saying certain words in front of her baby, bugger included and so ask her to show to same respect to your son. Alternatively ask your mum or dad to have a word.

i think you have every right to be upset, but be careful how you approch it. some people (myself included) use these words without thought regulalrly! Remind her gently that shes Braydon's Aunty and you'd like her to be a good Aunt and set an example, explain that you know these things slip out occassionally...after all they do if something happens/you hurt yourself. But that Braydon looks up to her and will minic her behaviour (dont know if thats true!!)

Its much easier to get people to do things when they think they're helping than, when they think they're getting a right royal telling off..

Needless to say, its inevitable that they'll pick these things up sooner or later, nursery, school etc, the main thing is that you'll be there to explain calmly why the words shouldnt be used. Banning them only makes them more exciting/forbidden

My friends two year old picked up the F word from nursery, she tried to get up on the sofa and fell off, picked her self up, fell off again said 'f**k it' then wandered off...my friend explained to her even at that young age that it was a bad word (although it was quite amusing and at least she used it in the right context!)

noooooooo way are u bein unreasonable sarah, i personally dont want Jamie swearin til hes 18 lol but they do pick it up!
just ask her how she would feel if u were doin it in front of her baby, she should understand its not nice!
