    eh, not a big deal. they're going to be around it ALL the time when they get older.
    My parents cursed all the time too. & i also turned out ok :P

    I honestly think its cute/funny to hear a little kid curse, especially when they mispronounce it...OMG adorable xD

    Id rather have my little girl curse & listen to rob zombie rather than have her nose in books all day. EW!!

    Ha! whats wrong with books? Do people who curse not read? Did I miss the memo?

    what kid/teen wants to read? I dont know anyone who reads for fun...
    Im saying id rather her not read, but, if she ever wants to, then ok.

    I'm a kid (well an adult now) who loves to read. As a parent (or a soon to be parent) how could you not encourage your child to not foster a love of reading? It broadens horizons and their vocabulary you know. I know a ton of people who read for fun.
    Good luck to your child when she's born.

    Wow. I really did not think that there was going to be so many people who say that it's ok to swear in front of their children. Personally I feel that people who swear sound trashy and I lose respect for them. Kids are so Innocent, why do you want to take that away from them by teaching them that it's ok to swear? Teachers have enough stuff to deal with in school they sure as heck don't need a bunch of kids swearing and showing disrespect. My children are 10 and 7 and I will NOT be swearing in front of them or anywhere else. Gosh I just can't believe there are so many who are ok with it.....

    Because not everyone defines respect like you. Do you know what context is? Because that means a lot in how a sentence or even just a single word is taken. If I say "mother****er" after stubbing my toe, you're telling me that's no different than calling someone a mother****er?

    Why don't you just not have kids? Wouldn't that be a lot easier? We swear in front of our puppies and horses and there is never a problem.

    my daughter doesn't want ppl swearing around him. but she really needs to get over it because ppl do that anyway.

    This I massively disagree with. I think it's incredibly inconsiderate to swear around other people's children. Sure, he's going to hear those words elsewhere but you've been asked not to, and you have the power not to.

    My mother tried to keep stuff like that from me (I even had a child lock on the internet until I was almost 16) but my dad had a mouth dirtier than a dumpster and so before I was even 5 I was spouting the gentile word of "crap". By 4th grade my mouth was pretty bad in certain social situations and I remember one Thanksgiving having a "*kitten* you" fight with my dad because he was mad at me for screaming at a wasp.

    I know if I ever have kids I'll never be able to curb my mouth when I have bad moments and y'know I'd rather they hear it from me than someone else because I can at least tell them about the words and their stigma in certain areas of society and when not to use them. They're words. And really if people are gonna look down on me I'd rather they do it because I let my kid curse when they stub their toe or get a bad grade or get mad than if I let my kid do drugs or drink and actually hurt themselves. I have an extensive vocabulary and use it more often than the f-bomb, but just because it's in my vocabulary doesn't make me ignorant or trashy.

    Responsible parents know how to keep their kids in line, cursing or not.

    It's a problem with parrots. Pretty much every parrot that gets taken to our local SPCA can't be put up for open adoption due to really bad potty-mouths. They tend to go off to bird sanctuaries and rescue groups.

    I wouldn't mind a foul-mouthed parrot. But with our seven cats, he'd have a LOT to swear about.

    I'm well educated, I have two degrees. I'm a professional. However, I swear. A lot.

    I started in grade 3 (my mother would have throttled me if she found out) and became permanently ingrained after 4 years of digging trenches, crawling prone through a mine field with a bayonet, painting my face green, and making use of ample amounts of grenades, rocket launchers and tear gas. I served my country in the Army, and now my job is saving lives on a daily basis.

    Basically what I'm trying to say is I'm a badass, I curse, and if you don't like it you can kiss my lily white *kitten*.
