"Forbidden" words?

[Faevantastic]

What are words you can't freely say in front of your kid(s) for fear of inciting a tantrum?  We seemed to be adding more and more!

Our list:
Go-go = Go Go Squeeze applesauce (aka kid crack)
Blueberry
Vitamin
Bath
Yogurt
Outside (new and extremely dangerous)

[muppetinma]

Bubbles
Banana
Super Why

[kandrze1]

Oh geez...this list gets longer everyday. The big ones are:
computer, chocolate, outside, and crayons

[bigapple]

Milk (we limit it because he would happily down a gallon a day on his own)

No

Blanket (he's become strangely attached to ALL the blankets recently and dragged my king size down comforter through the apartment the other day)

[katie]

Outside
Swing
Art (meaning painting)

[katfco]

Strawberry
Grapes
Outside
Walking
Dressed (his code for going upstairs)
Bubble Guppies
Zelda (he likes to watch DH play it on the Wii)

[rubber pants]

Why is "no" on the forbidden list? I say this 15000 times a day. I dont know how else to say she cant be doing something. LOL

[unclejesse]

Frozen, which makes talking about groceries hard.
Cars
Yogurt
Smoothies
Granola bar
Milk
Cereal
Disney World/Mickey Mouse
Outside
Swimming/pool

We find ourselves spelling a lot of things in front of him.

[creamsiclechica]

Outside
Park
Bubbles
Cheddar bunnies
Walk
Library
Shopping
Graham crackers

It mostly had to do with places to go lol

[orriskitten]

So many! She doesn't exactly tantrum, just demands non stop until she gets these things. Top of my head:

Bus
Horsie (meaning either the movie Frozen or Tangled)
Doctor (I hyped going to my doctors appointments up so much that she sees it as the best thing ever, also we took the bus to the doctor)
Lollipop

That's interesting, Henry just recently became attached to all blankets too! I am trying to prevent him having a blankie, I was shocked the attachment came so late. 

Forbidden words: 
eat 
snack
banana
cookie
breakfast (noticing a theme here??)
paci

Yes, I think this is Henry's favorite word, and I am sure he thinks it is my favorite too

[abbypug19]

Too many! Off the top of my head:

Bath
Nap/bed
Outside
Caillou!
Dora
Costco
Target
Applesauce
Blueberries
Cheese
Coffee (I've never given it to her!)
French fries
Pizza
Basically any food she enjoys lol

[ktstorm]

Outside
Bus
Graham Crackers
Blueberries
Mail (he loves to go get the mail with Daddy)
Bath
Vacuum (we have to hide it from him)

[Deleted]

Outside
Ducks (we go down to the lake to feed them)
Nap
Chalk
Slide

There are probably more but those are the big ones we have spell out.

[muppetinma]

I'm glad to hear that this is a thing! There are certain words that I avoid saying in front of Andrew, but DH thinks I'm crazy. He says them freely, and then Andrew freaks out and tantrums. He argues that Andrew needs to get over it. I argue that it's normal and that our parents spelled stuff out in front of us as kids. Some things just aren't worth the potential battle. He doesn't get it.

[Deleted]

Outside
Train
bath
snackies
bubbles
tv.

If I mention any of these and don't immediately follow through, I'm screwed.

ETA:  also paci now.  I just spent a whiny hour trying to distract him from asking for it, and avoiding the answer.  He's watching mickey instead now lol.

I try  not to use it so much because it is his STRONGEST WORD. So we say nuh uh, or do not do that. Well when i can remember. I still say it all the time.

We spelled milk too many times, so he now perks up when he hears "M-I..." Ditto with leche.

No generally incites an immediate head-banging-into-the-floor tantrum. "Let's not..." or distraction works much more effectively for us.
