well, nevertheless, you can bet i saved the I LOVE MY BUT book, AND show it to everyone like a proud parent should!! course i never would tell her that.

I'm up there with Kerry821 & CA. My daughter coied her friend at nursery and now exclaims 'OH BOTHERPANTS' on frustrating occasions. I think it's important to let kids express their feelsings, whether frustration, happyness or sadness. We're just there to guide them the most appropriate way in which to do this. My poor girl, I have double standards (I try not to swear when the car stalls)...

My daughter uses "snap" and I use "sugar" or "fudge". I try to teach my girls to use words that won't offend or are inappropriate, but even mommy slips unfortunately, and yes they correct me. When they do correct me, I don't make excuses and tell them they are right. I think that is just as important. If we teach them it's wrong for them, it's also wrong for us.

I say sugar and the occasional fudge too
