@daviddei Even a sizeable minority would make it a common practice, in the sense of "something that occurs often". They didn't say most people did it, or even a majority of people did.

@nathanstrong So in trying to stop them using a completely harmless, arguably mildly funny insult, you've accidentally just made them sound like a bunch of racists? Also: WTF? I get wanting kids not to use profanity, but that's literally just a harmless, inoffensive word that you've banned...

@nathanstrong You literally said "the N-word" in your clickbait title.

@soulserena I'm afraid you've made it taboo, which makes it fascinating. You've literally crafted a scenario where you're going to get more potty talk, not less. The best thing to do with these things is ignore them, and just occasionally correct in a very low-key way if your really have to...

@katrina2017 I don't know what your five year-old is like, but mine has a hard time learning abstract lessons like that when the decision (not eating breakfast) is separated from the consequence (feeling hungry) by several hours and a complete change of context.

@matheteuo Joke's on you - it's not necessarily a sexual term at all.

@nathanstrong Posting intentionally misleading headlines in order to get people to look at your content. Exactly how you did.

@tomy6240 It's not literal - OP was referencing a meme.

@nathanstrong You teach respect by teaching respect, not by banning random words. You've made it impossible to say "a rabbit was killed by a car" but perfectly possible to say "I'm going to cut your head off and poop down your neck hole", and I think it should be entirely clear which of those...

@judithwiegand YouTube DIY channels are like cheat codes for Dadding. Time was you'd have had to spend your teenage years watching studiously as your old man did all sorts of crap around the house and you tried frantically to memorise it all. Now you can just confidently stride off to the...

@leer0y Bear in mind you're talking to an OP who's even banned the word "kill" from his house. I think this kind of confident, transparent, facing up to and managing difficult issues approach might be completely outside of their parental toolbox.
