I just love watching kids..'secret life of a 5 year old' etc. Children are so honest and often show maturity beyond their years.
Should be a good task... I'm sure BB know what they are doing otherwise it could backfire big time.

will be interesting to see how patient ann will be with a bunch of kids

Ugh, 'Steph-on-knee' is such a creepy pervert its unbelievable. I feel slightly sick just seeing photos of 'her'. I do think 'she' is one of the pisstakers. Not 'genuinely trans'.

I wonder if this is why production semeingly wanted India out (head to head...3 way or more she would have stayed easily) you know. One or more of the kids would be likely to 'misgender' her. My daughter who is 5 can tell men from women easily, even when the men are in makeup and such. Led to quite an embarassing situation on a bus actually. A person got on, little dress, perfect hair and makeup...and my daughter who is 5 pointed at them and said quite loudly 'thats a boy mammy, why is he wearing a dress'. I was a bit mortified but the guy was fine about it. Sat talking to her for a bit and was telling her about how some boys like to wear makeup and look 'like girls' and such. Still never found out if he was just a feminine guy, trans or a drag queen actually.

Can't see India recting well to persistant misgendering...even if it is by kids.

No offence Vicky but kids pick up stuff from their parents and you constantly bang on about transsexuals being men so....

And you as a parent are better equipped to tell Vicky this about her own children ok...

Not at all.

I don't have to be a parent to witness how their elders can easily affect things they say and believe....infact we all pick stuff up off our parents.

I grew up looking after my little brother and cousins half my age who would pick up any swear word I said thank god they've now come into their own but at the time they were like sponges.

Never babysit and sing Winnie the **** instead of winnie the poo because when the parents come home and they are still singing it you get into trouble.

But you just commented on a specific situation with Vicky and her children so... nothing to do with your babysitting duties.

I'm commenting on a personal post by responding with another.

Ive not said anything derogatory and people who been offended by that post need to lighten up after all isn't this years cbb all about freedom of speech?

Also I put my own personal experience in that to just highlight kids pick up stuff we arnt aware we are doing.

I **** up with this all of the time...makes me feel like a terrible parent but I am such a sweary person that it just comes out a lot. My husband goes mental with me over it but swearing is just such a normal part of my everyday language and has been for like 16 years now that even after 5 years of having young ones around I still mess up, regularly. I fellover the cat the other day and really hurt my toe and shouted 'that ****ing cat' and apparently my daughter went into school to tell the teacher about 'the ****ing cat' So that was a fun conversation..

I don't think there's a single parent that's not sworn in front of their children aw Vicky don't say that having a few slips of the tongue doesn't mean you're a terrible parent!

i made him sit on the floor for speaking to our dog like that

Haha omg! Yeah I can't compare to being a parent but as the only elder boy in my family looking after the kids when I was younger I know what you mean.

I called my dog a twat once for malting all over the clean washing and guess the word the little ones picked up for him? ....twat.

I know, young kids are prone to nightmares for goodness sake.

I hope not lol! Maybe I put it wrong it's just the way you word things for example in the post about the transexual your child was confused by you referered to that person as a him.

It doesn't mean bad parenting it's just your beliefs and you shouldn't be expected to Ofcom your mouth all the time....**** just slips out.

Well, who knows what pronoun that person preferred. Just because he wore a dress and makeup doesn't mean he wanted to be known as "she".

It’s great how kids aren’t really taught gender stereotypes nowadays in such an aggressive format as they were before, and the difference between what i was taught and observing teaching when i’m at work is really quite something.

i remember being told at primary school that “blue is for boys and pink is for girls.” In addition to this, the word “gay” was banned, no matter what context it was used in. I’m 25, so this is probably going back around 2000-2002, which is actually quite a long time ago thinking about it.

not too long ago, the school had an assembly where a female firefighter, a male nurse and a policewoman came in to try and tackle gender stereotypes in the workplace and I think it worked. I would also say that I am also an example of fighting gender stereotypes in the workplace to an extent because previously, male primary school teachers/teaching assistants were almost unheard of, whereas there are increasingly more and more men taking on the job, which I think is fantastic. I was never taught by a man until secondary school, but I think that equality is so important

I think gender stereotypes are worse today than when I was a kid actually. Even ****ing kider eggs are 'gendered' . Pink princess ones for girls, blue monster/superhero ones for boys. My kids get both tbh, and my husband whinges a bit when I bring my son in with the princess ones (though oddly enough doesn't really say anything when I get my daughter the blue one)..and when I let him put my daughters Elsa dress on and that..but I reckon, kids are ****ing kids. Kids like dress up. Boys like pretty things and sometimes girls like to get dirty. If my boy wants to wear a princess dres, whats the bloody harm
