Put a muzzle on that kid!
Okay, so Christian Bale's somewhat nutty explosion on the set of his new movie, produced exactly 36 F-bombs in under 4 minutes. Wow. That's a lot of cursing.
But when you have impressionable kids--especially teens-- who look up to movie stars, news of a guy like this going off this way can send an effin' bad message. :) You wouldn't believe how many times a week an anonymous mom on CM asks, "How can I get my kids to stop cursing?" I'm not sure what the answer is, but I can't imagine today's news about the Batman star being a good thing for those mothers.
Yesterday, my 3-year-old said, "Dam**t." Yes, I know he got it from me. (Washing my mouth out as we speak). But the F-word? I don't dare let that one slip. Because if he ever says that, oh God, I'll die.
Has your kid ever dropped an F-bomb? WHAT DID YOU DO?

NO THANK GOD, BUT WE TRY TO BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH OUR LANGUAGE AROUND HIM
Yes, unfortunately my four year old has uttered the "F bomb". I say it when I'm frustrated or angry, but not purposely. When he said it, I didn't overreact but I told him that this word was an "adult" word and that it wasn't something nice to say. I warned him not to say it again. So far he hasn't. I think it was because I didn't make a big deal out of it.
My DH drops the F-bomb around his mom all the time and I think it's disrespectful to curse in front of your mother. They're family is very "non-censoring" though. I remember my grandfather used to curse up a storm. One day, my grandmother asked me a question and I responded "how the hell do I know?!" (I was like 7) I was super-proud that I could show my grandpa I could use adult words just like he could and make sense (I didn't realise it was a bad thing to say). My grandpa NEVER cursed again lol.
Yes, my 10-year-old son recently said it when he was very upset with his younger sister. I ignored it, but I was shocked.
Uh yeah, the B, S, C and a bunch of other bombs too. I have heard more than many parents could imagine.
Yes. I didn't do anything - if you don't make a big deal out of it, neither will they. Just ignore it, or firmly tell them (one time) that is not acceptable speech.
My husband is really bad when it comes to that, and as much as he tries sometimes a couple of "bad words" slip out.....My 3 y/o picks up on everything and before I had my second baby we were on the elevator at the hospital and when right when the elevator stops and the doors open, bunch of people waiting to get in and my dd says "it's F&%#ing hot in here"...really serious and normal like she didn't just dropped and F-bomb....so we explained to her that that was a bad word,l she said "mommy I'm sorry" and it has never happened again, thank God!!!
NO they haven't EVER used that word WE don't use that word ITS disrespectful to use and there is no use for the word. Why anyone uses the word I do not know. I will not watch movies that think that is the funny word. It is a disgusting word and people who use it,if you notice are very inmature in many ways. My children are grown-ups now and they don't use the word its disgusting to them,my son has ask a couple of less then men to put a lid on IT whan they used it in front of ladies before,I was very proud of him.

Its just a word and I dont think its something to make a big deal about. When theyre younger I say ignore it and try to watch your own mouth. When there old enough to reason, explain that the word is not acceptable in public. If the worse thing my kid ever does is say f*ck, then Im doing good. Too many kids are doing much worse than using a four letter word. Atleast thats how I go about it.
