POLL: Is This Verbal Abuse?
I'm 18, my baby brother is 2... I love him so much, he's adorable... I like to play with him so every time he wrestles me I call him a little f -ucker and he calls me the same thing. My sister heard me saying it to him and she flipped. I don't think it was that serious, I'm just playing around. I can understand kind of setting a bad example by teaching him curse words, but I don't think I'm verbally abusing him. Am I?? and if you have some psychological explanation about this please share cause I want to understand how this may be deeply affecting baby bro. Thanx.

I don't think it's abuse, but 2 year olds don't have filters, so he could drop the f bomb anytime, anywhere, and you should probably stop with that, even though I do understand that it is cute and fun!

No, it's not verbal abuse, but why would you teach a little kid bad words like that?

Why the hell would you say that to a two year old? Sure, swear words might not mean anything to you.. but the minute they stick with him and he says it to other kids at his preschool/kindergarten when he grows up.. that's when you're going to wish you never said anything.

you are teaching him to be foul mouthed, he don't know any better & will think it's funny
