In the state of our country and the unbelievably decreasing interest for science and technology among our youth and my generation, it is abosulely deplorable that any person would want for their child to sit and listen to rob zombie and cuss.
Science, technology, Rob Zombie and cursing. These are not mutually exclusive. I have several peer-reviewed research papers under my belt, work as a computer programmer, listen to Rob Zombie sometimes, and use foul language.
And for the record, a girl with a good vocabulary, including those vulgar words, is pretty damn attractive. I know I'm not alone on this one. Right, guys?0 -

Probably depends on the guys. Some men love it some men don't :drinker:0 -

Sorry everyone- but I'm astonished by the general consensus that its ok to swear in front of your kids. I'm not saying I've never slipped, because of course I have. BUT I always feel terrible after I do. I believe in setting a good example and letting kids be innocent for a while. I do NOT find it "cute" to hear the F-bomb come out of a tiny mouth. How hard is it to watch your mouth? If you have the willpower to monitor what goes into your mouth (which being on this site says you do) than you can monitor what comes out of it.0

I was putting my son to bed early the other night for being a brat all day and disrespecting his mother.(he was tired) Anyway, on the way up the stairs he called me a "Vagina". It was hard not to laugh. Vagina- ha ha ha!
hahahahaha!!! I love it :P I'm curious to see what my 4 month old will pick up. We try to avoid cursing but sometimes it slips. I was raised around a very vulgar group and I'm fairly sensitive with my language, so I don't think it will ruin any children if they are around it :P0 -

DAMN straight.
Swear words are like ghost peppers. Used sparingly, they add just the right flavor to the right conversation. In excess, you'll just want to stick your head under water.0 -
My parent's swore all the time. I turned out fine...I curse like a sailor now but my mom's rule was, "You are not allowed to cuss until you have kids of your own, then you'll have a reason to cuss." To this day I NEVER cuss around my mom and I'm 25, I've slipped up a couple times or I've started to say a cuss word and then changed it half way through (fuuuu-reaking) hahaha. I'm sooo lame but I guess it's a respect thing. She definitely knows I sound like a sailor when I'm not around her0

The majority of us who said that we curse in front of our kids explained that our kids don't curse. They may have repeated the word or words at some point, however, they aren't running around throwing out f-bombs in day care.0 -
WOW I must be old fashioned, I have a four year old daughter & put her to bed early for saying god damn only last week! I don't swear in front of her & if people wish to visit us I encourage them not to swear in front of her. Swearing in public is an erosion of basic common courtesy, where the "self" has become more important than the "community" & people question why the world is going to hell in a handbasket. I am not saying swearing is the worlds or a childs greatest issue but respect for each other has to start somewhere!
Funny I don't allow my daughter to stay up late or watch inappropriate programs on television & as for reading if you don't encourage your children to read & to ENJOY reading you are quite simply wrong! IMO

My 6 yo daughter was strutting around in my heels with no skirt on the other day singing "I'm sexy and I know it". Just seemed wrong somehow. I got her to stop:-)
So are you implying that parents that curse aren't decent, or loving? My dad swore a storm when I was growing up..I am now a mom, a teacher, and I'm currently working on my 3rd degree. (An EdS...it's a basically a doctorate without the diss, so I won't have the PhD after my name.) I coach my son's soccer team, we eat dinner as a family most nights, we read together, go to the park, laugh, learn and love as a family. Wow, my sh!tty dad really did a number on me, didn't he?
apart from you being a little touchy, it sounds like your dad did a really good job.:-) I wasn't implying anything, the fact is that we were all raised differently, we all have different morals and there is no one right way to raise children.
Way to go with all your education, with your extended intelligence you won't need to swear will you:-)0 -

I never said I couldn't monitor myself, I said I chose ~not~ to. And none of my kids curse. Are you reading some alternative thread?0 -

my daughters kindergarten teacher tells me many times a week what a joy my little girl is, and that its kids like her that make her really enjoy teaching.. shes helpful and smart and always thinking of others.
my swearing in front of them occasionally hasnt hurt them at all.0 -
Well I swore like a trooper untill I had my children and then I stopped. I want to be a good example and role model to my kids so why would I use foul language if I don't want them too!!! I'm astonished by the comment that somebody made saying they think its cute and adorable when kids swear...what's that all about????0

Working in my line of work it becomes habit to swear like a sailor..so when Im home I don it without even noticing...and since both my kids were able to talk they have always said "hey thats a potty word mom dont say that" and they move on...they have NEVER ONCE repeated it!!! As long as your kids know the difference from right and wrong what does it matter??0
