I left a message on your blog post but I just remembered a couple of the words Tracy and I can't stand

Unt uh  (no)

Un huh  (yes)

We dont say this word and our kids better never but we cant stand the word CRAP

Crap, good one!  We hate that word.  Not allowed here either!

I don't know if this is a southern thing, but we even make them say Yes m'am, No m'am, yes sir and no sir. 

Glad to know we aren't the only ones!

Ummm...we may or may not say crap, I'll never tell.  We don't say "hate" or "stupid."

You say crap, you say crap. So busted

We live in Ga.  but we are not at the Yes M'am  or Sir point yet, but as long as they respond with a proper YES or NO.Thankyou, we are fine with it

Arizona Mamma says crap

Funny! 

I'm in SC, small, small town.  And even though I'm almost 40, I still say "yes m'am and no m'am"  to anyone older than me.  I don't realize how old I'm getting sometimes and catch myself saying it to people that are not that much older and I know it makes them feel like crap.(picking up bad language from Arizona Mamma, sorry) but it's so ingrained that I can't help it.

The teachers at our schools would think you weren't raising your kids right if they didn't come in saying it.lol  I've got friends who teach and even add it in to books they are reading aloud to the little ones.  Otherwise, they're stuck explaining answering questions about why the Magic Tree House kids aren't using their manners.  They say the kids always point it out and it's just saves them the discussion. 

 

Is "crap-ola" as bad as "crap"?? Just askin?  I think it's a little softer to the ears.  But of course, we don't say either at our house. ;)

Let's see, I try to get my kids to say "bum" instead of "butt."  Again, softer on the ears.  For some reason, they still say BUTT with much gusto.

In general, no name calling allowed.

I'm with AZ Mama...words like hate and stupid are "no-nos".  We also never say fat.

My little guy is only 7 months old, so we don't have any bad words that he says yet. I was reading an article on it recently though and I blogged about it also. I am trying to curb my "bad" words before we get to that stage. Here's hoping I don't crash and burn with this one.

Amber, very cute blog.  Love the name.

This is a list of UNACCEPTABLE and the ACCEPTABLE words in my house

yeah  naw            Yes m'am  No m'am or Yes sir, No sir
shut up                 be quiet
stupid                   silly
butt                       both
lie, liar                    not true
unt huh                   yes
un  huh                   no
dang                      darn

Crap is absolutely FORBIDDEN!!!

I just despise the infamous shaking of the shoulders in the "I don't know" fashion!!!
