The surprising word Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have banned each other from using in front of their kids

If you think we're talking about a curse word, we'll just stop you right there...

In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, Blake Lively opened up about raising her two daughters with husband, Ryan Reynolds.

The 30-year-old actress - who is mum to James, three, and Ines, one - revealed Reynolds is very "conscious" of sexist behaviours.

"I’m lucky to have someone who is so conscious," she told the publication.

“My husband was like, ‘Why do I always say he?’ And I said, ‘That’s what we’re taught.’ So he’ll pick up, like a caterpillar, and instead of saying, ‘What’s his name?’ he’ll say, ‘What’s her name?’”

So what's the one word the couple avoids saying in front of their girls?

It's the word "bossy".

“We’ve joked that my daughter is bossy,” the mum continued.

“But my husband said, ‘I don’t ever want to use that word again. You’ve never heard a man called bossy.’”

“There would never be any negative connotation for a man being a boss, so to add a negative connotation on a woman being bossy? It’s belittling. And it doesn’t encourage them to be a boss. ”

We love their way of thinking!
