Ok, she knows all the swear words now and I have heard her and her friends swearing like navvies. I decided to swear in front of her to see what would happen, and we both found it hilarious. She found out that her head teacher swears too.

Now the more traditional readers may think that this is the beginning of the end of morals, and that my offspring will become a crack smoking teenage mother. However, after the novelty had worn off, she now swears in front of me very rarely. In her own words “there is just no point in swearing all the time.” This implies that regardless of what I do, she is starting to choose her own behaviour. She is not a copying monkey. Sure, it’s nice to set a good example, but I think she might be old enough to make her own mind up now
