Today I turned just in time to see one of my 3 years olds who has cursed on 2 other occasion, tell a 1 year old, "She's an a**hole," referring to me.

I had just put another child in time out for throwing a toy at her. She then proceeded to follow us to time out to tell the child off. I corrected her by saying, "Let him sit in time out. You may go play." That is when she walked away and told the other child the above statement.

I'll admit, I was pretty livid. The other child she was talking to is a very mellow, sweet girl, and I really don't want her influenced for the bad.

I called the child who cursed Mom. She started in with the same, "I've never heard that. I've heard 'a**' but not 'a**hole.' The convo didn't go much better after that. At one point she asked if she needed to find another daycare. I replied, "I just need you to figure out how not to curse in front of your child because I cannot have her teaching other children those words."

Help!!
