My dad used to make a practice out of calling me a "worthless good-for-nothing." To him, he was joking. Yeah, 8-year-olds don't understand that kind of joking...
My nephew's picked up some swear words, but my sister doesn't usually direct any towards him, I don't think. I'll be around her a lot more soon, and I'll get to check up on her, I suppose.
I can't believe anyone who thinks it's a good idea not to listen to their child when they say they have to go potty. They can't help it. It's, y'know, a biological function.
Some people should not be parents.

In my own, rather limited experience, one should always mentally append the phrase "RIGHT FREAKIN' NOW!" any time a kid under a certain age mentions needing to use the potty >_>

Yeah, I agree, a little kid announcing they have to go potty is not a bluff you want to call. That is a standoff you will lose.
I keep a potty chair with Chucks, plastic bags, sanitizer, and wipes in the back of my van. There have been times when other moms have stopped just short of hoisting me on their shoulders like a football hero. I'm just sayin'.
