Why do you keep repeating the ordinance like a malfunctioning robot. Looking at a phone while parked at a stop sign does not mean "dividing my attention" from the augurs of operating a motor vehicle. I have been driving for 20 years without a single accident or a speeding ticket, ever. I have however seen hundreds of people yelling on their phone, browsing, texting and even watching YouTube while driving. Catch those fucks.
(I wasn't driving)How dare he give you a ticket for being in the wrong, what has the world come to? Don't use your phone while driving, you're endangering others.
yeah speedrun strats say its best just to start fresh at this pointYeah, i dont think this is gonna work. Go ahead and throw her out and start with a new baby. Don't worry about starting over, it'll go by faster since you know what to do now.
You were operating the vehicle, so yes, you were driving. Someone like you hit me when I was on my bike and seriously damaged it along with injuring me, so don't do it.
You're in the shit now carnt.
Is that why there's a new bike in your profile pic?
My profile pic is just a drawing, but yeah I needed to replace the tank, bars, exhaust, pedals and cables and a bunch of other stuff to repair her. It was a nightmare.
I assumed the last pic was you on your bike. Anyway, good to know it didn't kill ya.
Don't lie to your kid... Just be honest and own up to your mistake. Kids are smarter than you think. "Yes, Daddy said X, but he shouldn't have. It's a very bad word that no one would ever use, especially in anger against another person. Even grown ups make mistakes and you should learn from Daddy's mistake."
Turn it into a teaching moment.
If your goal is to get your kid not to repeat what you said, your method isn't going to be effective. It'll reinforce using that word or phrase when they feel slighted.Or .. "dude was a jerk babe, don't be a jerk and people won't curse your name." I would argue thats a better lesson than lying to your own kid about why you were pissed at some asshole and making them believe people aren't assholes and calling them out should be corrected.
Good God no it WONT
Excuse me? What the fuck?Seriously don't worry OP I have a 6 year old: in addition to SoCal commuting I live in a part of LA populated by recent immigrants who prove on a daily basis that some stereotypes about driving skill have a solid basis in truth. I have an excellent temper and am usually pretty good but there's only so much crazy shit one can take. I've yelled "fucking moron!" more times than I care to admit and she hasn't picked it up yet.
He doesn't pick up when I go native. He only picks up English bad words that eventually come out occasionally, which I tell him is a bad word and he should not say them.
I'm curious which stereotypes you're referring to. I live in OC and I would love to get your opinion.Seriously don't worry OP I have a 6 year old: in addition to SoCal commuting I live in a part of LA populated by recent immigrants who prove on a daily basis that some stereotypes about driving skill have a solid basis in truth.

That's quite a lot to unpack there if you are not jokingI did same thing. Mike was 6. I called someone who pulled out in front of me an asshole. Same response. When we got home and as he walking into his room with the new Lego sets I had just bought him, He told his mother what I had said. He is the reason we only had one kid.
Yes, she is fucked.She said, "Daddy, what did you say?". I said, "nothing". She repeated what I had said. I frantically responded that I said, "can't", instead of "cunt".
I kept reinforcing the word "can't" the whole ride home.
Since she repeated what I had said, I'm afraid she picked it up. Should I be worried?
Interesting, I figured children couldn't differentiate language classification until they reached adolescence.He doesn't pick up when I go native. He only picks up English bad words that eventually come out occasionally, which I tell him is a bad word and he should not say them.
Wait what's wrong with kids hearing curse words?
Always seemed weird to me to try and protect them from language. They just learn what words they cant say at school lol.
In your situation OP, I'd say "Adults cuss when frustrated sometimes. But that's a grown up word and you shouldn't say it until you're older."
Probably a British school, where "cunt" is how they say hello.I don't know what school you send your 5 year old to if they are going to hear words worse than "cunt" :p

Noted! I'm just a dumb yank with dumb stereotypes.(ps it's usually Australia that uses "cunt" as a greeting :) )
This. I know it's not a good thing by any stretch, but I swear in front of my kids probably daily.I cuss in front of my younger siblings all the time. I taught them at a young age that they're words only adults should use. They're excellent about not cussing in front of me or their grandparents though I'm sure they cuss all the time with their friends. I know I did at ten.
Just teach her that cuss words are. Tell her they're for grownups only and that she shouldn't say them because it makes others feel sad.
YMMV though
