I noticed that some parents are very particular about their kids saying Oh. My. God. so I wondered. Is it bad to say OMG?? I mean, doesn’t it remind you of God at least?
I’ve seen parents penalise their kids for saying OMG, almost like it’s a swear word/phrase. To me, it’s a far cry from Fuck you! or Fuck Off! Don’t you think? I think OMG is fine. You usually say it in frustration or when in awe so what’s the problem with that? You’re calling on God for assistance or gratitude.
What’s your take? What are the allowed swear words in your house and what isn’t allowed? What do your kids say when they are frustrated or in shock?
I disallow the F word, the S word(s) but other than that, allow them to get creative with their swearing. We shouldn’t be swearing at all, alamak! Dammit! But hey, life is too short to worry about swear words. Let’s just get on with the Oh, Fish! and the Chickachick my Bum!
Yay or nay?

Apparently. .I was told when in primary..that god is very busy..so thou shalt not use His name in vain.
i say it all the time and at times OMFG (then i will feel bad adding the F in there coz its just so not right). anyway my kids will tell me off for saying that coz at the daycare they are not allowed to say that including all the other harsh words so they will go “oh my gosh” instead. i have toned down so much since the kids came and mind my language in front of them and only use “idiots” when swearing on the road. cant say the same for hubby who still swears in front of them when he’s upset at something. if i’m there, he gets a hit from me. lol
