When did we decide as a whole that only adults should be able to swear/say certain words and that kids shouldn’t? Also, i’m not talking slurs that are offensive or things like that, but words like “shit” or “fuck”.

I have a 2.5 year old who’s like a sponge absorbing everything we say and do lately. The other day he heard me yelling at the dog for something in the other room, and later on he ran up to the dog and started yelling at him in a shockingly good imitation of me, lol.
Basically that’s why we try not to swear around him and try to model “good” behaviors because his little brain is absorbing everything but he hasn’t developed any impulse control or reasoning yet so we have to be careful what he is able to pick up right now. He doesn’t understand that daddy only yelled because the dog was doing something bad and also yelling isn’t the way to discipline an animal but daddy’s just running on 5 hours of sleep and is very stressed out. He just sees something and wants to parrot it.
Also I don’t wanna pick him up from daycare and get an earful from the staff that he’s been saying the F word all day
