The Bachelor’s Laura Byrne reveals her 15-month-old daughter Marlie-Mae won’t stop swearing

Laura Byrne has discovered the hard way that kids will repeat everything they hear.

In a series of videos posted to Instagram Stories on Monday, the 35-year-old former Bachelor star revealed her daughter Marlie-Mae had started swearing after hearing her do the same.

Laura revealed the 15-month-old wouldn’t stop saying ‘s**t’, as she shared a video of the little girl continuously repeating the swear word.

She explained that she accidentally let the profanity slip while the family – including Laura’s fiancé Matthew ‘Matty J’ Johnson and the couple’s three-month-old daughter Lola – were in the car driving to Byron Bay.

Laura said they’d almost reached their destination when Matty’s mum called them to tell them they’d left a suitcase in Brisbane. 

‘So when we were in the car and we realised our luggage was still in Brisbane, I said a word that you definitely shouldn’t say in front of toddlers, and this is what we’re now dealing with…’ Laura said in a video posted to Instagram Stories.

She then shared a video of Marlie-Mae tottering around in a pair of adult shoes while repeatedly saying ‘s**t’

‘What are you doing, girlfriend? What are you saying?’ asked Laura from behind the camera.

As Marlie-Mae walked around the room, she continued to say ‘s**t’, seemingly oblivious to the word’s meaning.

‘Christ… Give me strength,’ Laura captioned the video.

Laura regularly talks candidly about the challenges involved in parenting two young daughters.  

‘Taking toddlers to the zoo is like setting them free in their natural habitat. MM had a 20 minute stage 5 meltdown because she wanted Lola’s dummy. One guess who won that match,’ she wrote on Instagram on Sunday.
