I am not sure where she picked it up, as my husband and I do not swear. She has only been babysat a few times and the people she has stayed with do not swear.
Its not just the word, its the context in which she uses it. Ok, dont laugh. Today she wouldnt eat her sandwich. I asked her what she wanted me to do with the sandwich. She told me to "f*** it".
I can only assume she has picked it up from the TV - we currently are in a one-bed flat. On occasions she has woken up in the night and switched on the TV without my knowing. I can only assume she heard it from here.
What can i do?? how should i handle this. Initially i just ignored it (she first used the word weeks ago), but she is still using the word, albeit rarely. This afternoon I said I would spank her if she used the word again.
PS - i hope this question does not cause offence, I am aware that a question like this is somewhat amusing, but deep down i am very upset by this. She is otherwise a good girl.
