I don't know if this topic has been discussed yet.
What words are "bad words" in your house that aren't necessarily BAD words?
ss7 is the bad word police. He will hear a "crap" or a "hate" from across the house and get angry at us.
How do you handle bad words? He is old enough to know that certain words ARE bad, (I'm talking actual bad words. F, A, B, S, etc...) And if we sometimes slip in front of him, he knows not to repeat those words...
But I am so sick and tired of getting called out every time I say the word stupid. I'm sorry, but some things ARE stupid and I don't like calling them *silly.*
I usually tell ss7 that Yes, those words ARE bad words, for you. When you are a grown up and can make your own decisions about bad words, you can say whatever you want.
So in our house, we get called out for
hate
crap
stupid
dumb
ugly (when directed to a person or something someone made)
I'mm sure there's more, but it's just irritating. I know it's not good to say bad words around kids, but like I said before, he KNOWS not to repeat them and it's not excessive.
