One of the hardest things of being a parent for me personally is watching what I say in front of my son. I have to be honest, my hubby and I cuss a lot! Not to each other of course, but we do have some serious road rage issue that we need to address.
This conversation happened just a few weeks ago during a fine evening dinner.
Son: “Old F***er”
I was about to fall off my chair when I heard him saying that.
Me: “Where did you hear that?”
Son (looking at me with his innocent eyes): “Daddy say that”
Me: “I will talk to daddy later, but you are not allowed to say that. Don’t ever say that to anybody, do you understand?”
Son: “Ok”
Right after I said that, my husband walked in.
Me talking to my son: “Tell daddy what you just said!”
My son didn’t want to repeat what he said earlier, all he said was “Daddy said that”. So I told my hubby what he did and told him to watch what he said. I was blaming him for this one since the “Old F***er” is his word when addressing people who drives very slowly. Although I do have some curse words too, just lucky enough that my son didn’t catch it yet.
I can’t imagine what’s going to happen if he ever say that word again in public, or even worse, in school. I would be in so much trouble. Oh what it takes to be a parent!
