Not only that, the kid will now be curious what the actual "F" word is, and will be curious until he learns, likely from someone other than his parents now. They could've made it a non-issue, and now it's something lodged in his mind.
Yup, my parents turned the van around so they could drag me to the bathroom and get soap in my mouth the first time they heard me say "damn' when I was 6 so I'm rooting for the nephew.
Please tell me it was a nice freshly opened bar of soap and not a bacteria-laden soap from a facility open to the public! I am appalled at the ancient disciplinarian method, which is arguably child abuse, but I'm too busy being upset with the potential of really disgusting bacteria.
If you need to use force, violence or shame in order to discipline, you are a shit parent and need therapy. You can actually discipline without being an abusive piece of shit. No wonder they don't listen to you, you're not worth the respect of being listened to
I work in foster care. Had a sibling group , all under five, who were placed in a Trump cult foster home (out of my control). One week later they were all yelling “Fuck Joe Biden” at their visitation with family. Needless to say, they were moved from that placement. These people do not care what kids are learning.
Someone in my hometown had a giant flag saying that hanging from their house and they lived like 5 houses from the elementary school. Display your own political views all you want, but keep it appropriate.
If that kid is anything like me when i was that age the sister will regret this decision because once he finds out there’s a very good chance he’s gonna use it a lot because it’s a “forbidden” word
I found out about it at that age too, and was always aggressively shushed and chastised. Got in a lot of trouble because I would often try to get as far away from my parents as possible before quietly repeating "fuck, fuck, fuck" to myself ad nauseam until I was caught.
Myself and a couple of other kids had a "cussing club". It was in a neighbor's bushes. We'd go there and just cuss into the air. No target. And we would giggle our little six year-old asses off.
