cursing + having little kids ==

Me and my husband swear but wouldn't dream of doing it in front of our children. It's frown upon in our house. When children swear, it just sounds like they are being dragged up. It's not cool, it's not hip and it's certainly not clever. My children are 6 and 8 and they hear other children using swear words at school etc, the odd one on the telly... There's no way you can shield a child from hearing such words, it happens, it's out there and for many people, it's vertually their first language! In my personal opinion, i just dont think its right, it sounds common and trashy but.......each to their own
I agree. Sets a horrible example for your children. They're gonna hear it from all the other kids in school, so go ahead and show them that its ok in your home as well? People need to get their priorities straight.
My priorities are teaching my child leadership, responsibility, the value of a good education, and citizenship. What was your point again?
My point was that I agree that its wrong. You raise your kids the way you see fit and so will I.
My point is that swearing is not an indicator of a person' education, nor is it an indicator of parental failure. However, you seemed to have missed that. Don't judge my parenting and I won't judge yours. See how this works?0 -
I curse like a trucker and my children have all dropped f bombs ( 2, 5, 7 ).
My parents cursed, and I remember practicing my cursing when I was out of the house. Yes, I probably curse a lot because my parents did. But my children are polite little darlings who never, ever curse. Yet.0 -
LOL! I just can't believe someone actually says they would prefer their child NOT read. really? And using a curse word makes people sound uneducated???? I always read and my children love to read. I do not think that cursing makes anyone automatically sound uneducated. Now if you can't get through a sentence w/out droppping 4 curse words each time...sure. BUT the same goes for people who say "LIKE..." after every word!!! Now THAT sounds unarticulate and uneducated! Like...seriously.
Yeah that was a ridiculous comment too. More cursin less readin!0 -

I curse more than the average human being, but i try to be good if i'm near my friends kids or my family's kids. I don't know how I will react when my wife pops out a baby, to be continued......0

There are much, MUCH worse things in this world for children than what other people call "bad" words. Don't let it stress you out. Raise them to be kind, caring individuals and you've done the best job a parent can do.

My husband and I do all the time, my kids know better. My kids are generally well behaved & if they do get into confrontations there is no offensive language involved. I teach my kids about the world around them, current events etc. Things they really don't teach in school. That is what I'd be more concerned about. I wish I was taught these things as a child, but I'm giving them a better life than I had, as my mom gave me a better life than she had 0 -
It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. You do what is right for you and what works for you and your family. That's all there is to it. If you have ruined your kids for life then you can deal with it, if you haven't then YAY! 0

I think you have a reading comprehension problem and are incapable of intelligent debate.0 -
i try to control my language, but when you burn your hand taking something out of the oven then bad language naturally occurs. when you have a blister the size of a small country radiating up your arm, 'shivers' and 'oh my' do not seem the thing to say!
actually, i swear heaps. at work, at home (when the kids are in bed and sometimes when the kids are up). it's just language. they don't tend to copy, and we've explained that they're 'adults' words. I don't see the point of saying they're bad words- words aren't bad. they're just words.
and, fwiw i'm educated too. the aetiology of words is very interesting, and the creativity it takes to create a new word with specific connotations from a certain subculture, and how those words have evolved to mean what they currently do, is amazing in itself (if you're a geek like me and like to have your head in a book, whilst listening to white zombie)! did you know that the 'f' word started out as a criminal prosecution and was used in courts all over England!0 -

Perfect size if you ask me!0 -
I seldom say a swear word just not in my nature. If others want to do it it is up to them.0

I can't help but laugh when my son does it which is rare. As long as he isn't doing it at school, it doesn't bother me. He is going to learn the words sooner or later so he might as well learn how to say them correctly and in a correct sentence.0

Yeah...so I'm an avid follower of Marksdailyapple.com...and he gave the recipe for his 2 minute salad..he challenged everyone to come up with a name for their own salad. His was "Big *kitten* Salad".........I called my salad "Because my *kitten* is Too Damn FAT" Salad.
Well, the other night we went to McDonald's...everyone ordered their usual...and I said "I just want a salad"
When asked if that was all I was gonna have......my 7 year old nephew....who loves to read, and read my salad recipe that I keep on the fridge at home....there, in front of the crowded restaurant...casually BLURTS out.." Yeah, because her *kitten* is too damn fat!!!"
Oh the horror!!!
But I laughed so hard it hurt!!!0 -

That's actually pretty funny0 -
I do swear but I work with kindergartners and children under the age of 10, so I have to flip the switch when I'm with them.
I don't have kids of my own yet, but I don't think I'll swear in front of them.0 -
im a weirdo and would want matching patterns on each *kitten* cheek.. doily or notCan you imagine the glorious pattern a doily would make on your *kitten* cheeks? (or your face cheeks, depending on what position you took?)
Symmetry is important!! LOL!0 -

I think there is WAY too much cursing. If every other word is the f-bomb, what do you say when you hit your thumb with a hammer? Do the world and your children a favor and limit your foul languge.0

Really I don't think there is a defference between saying I have to take a S*** and I have to go poop, or for that matter calling some one a S*** head or a Poop head, to me it's all about the intent of what your saying, are you being mean,
And that is what I plan to instill in my children, being loving not caring much for socail formality's but about being Loving and making God happy
So I would be much more angry if my child called some one a poop head then if they said I have to take a S***0 -

It's not self important at all. I raise my children to a certain standard and do not wish for it to be lowered. My opinion. Get over it.0 -
