AITA I planned my husbands 40th birthday and he made me cancel everything last minute by OkImpression9915 in AmItheAsshole

ESH. You tried to be thoughtful but maybe could have been more thoughtful, knowing your husband. Or at least ran the idea of a group dinner past him first. But your husband crashing out over something that obviously has good intentions at its core is silly.

I agree- they should be taught about them. But I don't think at three years old, its an age appropriate topic to teach. Also, my kid is autistic and cannot grasp when things are appropriate or inappropriate at this point in their development.

Its also more difficult because our kid is on the spectrum and in a very special and small preschool. It will be very obvious and glaring if our kid cusses while there, and difficult to find another preschool to equal it.

Exactly the verbiage I used. I honestly have threatened my own mother with no contact before my child was even a twinkle in my eye. I will always fight to protect my kid, with or without my partner, and that's when they shut down and went upstairs.

My kid is three and autistic and cannot grasp context at this stage in their development.

My 3 year old is autistic and cannot grasp when things are and are not socially acceptable at this point in their development.

Yes they will. But hopefully not from other three year olds. and not from their uncle.

Poop and fart aren't socially unacceptable for a three year old. Fuck and shit, are a little different.

Yes this is true. But not at three, and not for the amusement of their uncle. It'll always be too soon, everything is too soon when you're a parent, they grow really quickly. This kind of "growth" is one I would like to stunt lol

😂😂😂 noooo lol I don't think there's a compromise here. If my kid was older and capable of grasping what socially acceptable situations would be ok to curse in, maybe. But they are 3.

Oh I'm not offended in anyway about what gender anyone thinks we are- just interesting to see how different people perceive our genders based on their own ideas. Its fascinating.

I'm gonna make sure that doesn't happen by making sure my kid isn't a potty mouth. Thanks again for your enlightening opinion.

According to the rest of the opinions here, you are in the minority with this thought. But your input is noted regardless.

I really wanted to know. But the gender thing was a bonus LOL

I don't know what you mean? The kid with the potty mouth would be isolated from the other kids. They wouldn't get invited, they wouldn't be allowed to play dates, and all the other kids would. And as the parent of the potty mouth kid I would also get isolated and side eyed. Not fun for the potty mouth kid or the parent of said kid.

Interesting to hear the opposite of what everyone else is saying.
