From the mouths of babes...

[JPPaverage]

Ok she's not really a baby, but earlier today I was sitting in the living room watching a news program and my 14 year old daughter came downstairs, poured a bowl of cereal and saw what I was watching. Then she said. " That trump is a dirty bastard." I am sure she's heard me say that a time or two or 7000, so I couldn't really scold her for cursing. But this child really dislikes tfg. She's Asian, in case I didn't mention that and she always says he's a racist bleep. And, when she was younger she was in a summer camp which did a trip to Chicago for an end of summer reward. The kids booed when they went past trump tower.
I suppose I should set a better example and stop cussing when tfg is on TV, but it isn't easy. But for her sake, I'll try.

1. When it comes to trump.... we all get a Free Pass on descriptive words. nt

3. My friends can't talk about him without the explosion of cussing like a sailor. Me, either

14. Grandson just joined the Marines..

nineteen years old, and I'm as proud as I can be.

I'm Navy, and he and his Dad say the Marines do all the work, and we're just the bus drivers. I tell them we have bigger guns.

16. My mom was in the Women's Navy..

I think that is what it was called in 1943-44. My mom n dad were stationed at the same base when they met. Quite a love story n I’m proud of both of them..they’d flip out if they were alive today n see what is happening to the country they served.

Major challenges,to not swear when discussing tfg.

2. Sounds like you're doing just fine in the parenting department.

Let her be and let her express herself.

5. My 5 yo granddaughter on "President Donald" after she learned about President's Day

She's in kindergarten and came home telling us that President Washington had a jet he could fly anywhere and President Donald should be in jail.

9. I didn't stop. I wanted my children's to not only know my opinions but WHY I have them.

Exposing them to big ideas is part of my job as a good parent.

12. This goes back much further than TRAITOR**. A friend in CA was in a family very

active in CA politics many years ago. She used to tell us that, for the first twelve years of her life, she thought nixon's first name was "thatgoddamned".

13. My grandson

Used to point at the TV when Trump was on it and say, "he's a bad, bad man".

15. omg! i had quite the mouth on me during the bush era

starting when my daughter was 12.

she really didn't care, she understood my anger & passion when it came to hating him and ... it was okay. she didn't go around quoting me to teachers and friends

i don't know you or your daughter, but i don't think you need to pretend around a 14 yr old. sounds like she already knows where you stand... and it sounds like she's right there by your side in agreement

17. Why? Don't you think she'll understand what the words mean?

At the age of 14, she hears and uses worse with her friends every day. She's struggling around you, trying to keep a lid on it to protect your poor, virgin ears.

18. I think you're setting a fine example. nt

19. a friend has a granddaughter who is all spit and vinegar.

a great kid. she picked up the f word at about 5.
her parents told her- hey, that word doesnt bother me, so i dont care if you use it w us. but if you use it at day care, or somewhere else where ppl dont use it, you’re on your own.
