We rent MILs basement apartment, She lives upstairs, her mom lives upstairs from her, and DHs cousins and their 3 kids live upstairs from MILs mom. We try to limit contact with these kids but it is not all entirely possible.
They're 8,4, and 2. They frequently have horrible language (ranges from swearing to silly kid words that are just utterly gross) and loud obnoxious stepping boundaries behavior.
My 2.5yo DD mimics them every time. She stops whatever she's doing once she's away from them. She gets extremely loud, she yells whatever words they're yelling (the other day it was "your booty smells like **!* "... etc.
I have corrected her in a gentle way in front of them, and it kind of goes nowhere. She's not extremely verbal and can't be reasoned with yet.
And no, moving out is not an option right now
We see these kids in the backyard, front yard, family gatherings, at grandparents house... sure, we can just leave but it's hard not having my daughter even be able to play outside.
