Cursing around the kids? Never!

by workoutmommy on July 15, 2010

Please read that title with sarcasm!  I have a tendency to let a few curse words slip out when my kids are around, especially when I am driving.  (it was pretty bad, actually)

So I cracked up during this new video commercial from EvenFlo.

I was definitely this mother!  Until my oldest started to yell at me from the backseat “Mommy, you can’t say that, it’s a bad word!”
Yikes.
I was busted by my 4 year old!  These days I try to be much better about my choice of words.

How about you?  Ever have a “teachable” moment like in the video? :)

Evenflo has just released the Momentum 65 DLX Convertible Car Seat, with features that help make safety, installation and use as easy as possible for parents.  Evenflo andJuiceBoxJungle sponsored me to write this post.

Sadly, I have cursed and yelled at my child (not just in front of her – yes I know #mommyfail) but I am now mindful of what I say to her since she once said to me, “Mommy, give me some space”. *sigh*

When our son was 3, my husband let a doozy slip in front of him. He looked up at his daddy with a great big smile and said “Mudderfudder!”
When I swear in the car (which, unfortunately, is often) my son says “good job!” Ah, 9 years old and already well-versed in sarcasm, lol!

Been there…. from our 5 year old (when she was 3) we got “Jesus Christ!” when she accidentally threw a toy out the bath. Around that same time we got a lot of “Crap!”s.

Our 2.5 son now can floor anyone when he says, “Mommy! Look at my Big Fruck!”

Ooooh, yes. I remember one Christmas trying to convince my step-mother that what my daughter had said was “shirt” really, it was!

I have been busted by my 4 year old for saying “Oh hell.” I am the worst during road rage but I have controlled it a mumble. :)

Oh definitely! We were visiting my hubby at work at lunch time. We had brought lunch in from an ahem very fine establishment that provides plastic toys with the kids meals. My daughter was almost three when she announced in his lunch room that “This effing green monster doesn’t work”. His co-workers cracked up, but I was mortified :)
