I'll probably stop when DD gets to the age where she's building her vocab - I agree that it's a horrible word for kids to learn and repeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-f-word#post-687514 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:23:06 +0000 heffalump 687514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't, but I do use other words to replace it that mean the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-f-word#post-687501 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:21:47 +0000 mamimami 687501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just getting used to watching my mouth with EVERYTHING around the toddler. And I want to be careful of this with my daughter especially. But it's harder in Spanish, which my husband uses with our kids, because the word for fat (gordo) is a term of endearment. He always is calling them "gordito" and "gordita" for completely non-aesthetic reasons. So I'm not sure how this will work in the future. (Also, Mexicans are must more open about commenting on people's physical characteristics so that is going to be a challenge in itself.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-f-word#post-687495 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:21:26 +0000 MamaJ 687495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes especially because I was unhappy with my PP body. My DH hates it. However I'm back to pre pregnancy weight so I use it less. Mostly just in my head when I'm getting dressed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-the-f-word#post-687480 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:18:31 +0000 mrbee 687480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>By f word, I mean "f-a-t"...</p> <p>It's such a loaded word that I try to never use it... especially now that we have kids (since Charlie tends to repeat everything we say). I do still use the word in my head if I'm not happy with how I look and check myself out in a mirror... probably should stop doing that, but not sure how.</p> <p>Do you use the F word? </p>
