cursing + having little kids ==

You are NOT old fashoined. Just a decent, loving parent.

I wasn't implying anything, the fact is that we were all raised differently

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.

Exactly. i would rather have my girlfriend whisper in my ear..."Baby I want you to pin me down and *kitten* me right now" over "my dear, would you please suspend my wrists and have some rousing intercourse. Please move the doilies first".

i think i you.
and your gf

Women and profanity is neither attractive nor classy. Regardless of your educational background and career, if your vocabulary is not extensive enough to where you must use vulgar language in order to make a point, you will appear as uneducated.

That makes no sense.
If I ask a girl how to synthesize a methylated alkaloid, and she answers but adds a fvck yea at the end. She's appears uneducated?
Do you get nose bleeds a lot?

I think it's hilarious when certain women try to keep their own gender in the dark ages.

"Swearing and voting are for the men ladies." *sip tea with pinky out*

Awesome!!!

Can you imagine the glorious pattern a doily would make on your *kitten* cheeks? (or your face cheeks, depending on what position you took?)

i cursed all my kids lives and i still curse now. of course my daughter wants me not to curse in front of my 5 1/2yr old grandson but it slips out. my kids are in their early 30's and rarely cuss unless something pisses them off. i have toned down my language a bit because i'm 50+ and figure i don't want to scare all the geriatrics that live in our park. but that doesn't mean i don't swear with my besties, at home, the car or just hanging out.

one day my grandson was playing his video game in the front room and i'm at my pc at my desk in the dining room. he cannot see my face because the monitor is between us. suddenly he just starts saying, "*kitten*, f*cking, f*ucker, etc" over and over again. well, i decide not to respond. soon i hear, "nana, did you hear me?" i said, "yes!" and went back to my facebook, laughing silently. he didn't say it again that day. i figured he was trying to get a rise out of me and it didn't work. his other grandparents probably would have gone over and popped his mouth and there are times i have done that too. but this time i figured it was a test and i passed.

i'm very good at cussing at other drivers when they cut me off, stop short or almost cause me an accident. well, one day when my grandson was riding with his grandparents and somebody cut off grandpa, from the carseat in the back comes, "you *kitten*, drive better!" (or some approximation of that). they both just looked at him. he had to be all of 2 1/2yrs old. when they asked me if i knew where he got it, i admitted it and explained that he has to learn that ppl are going to swear around him and he has to learn what he can and cannot say. they couldn't say anything after that. lol! i also found that if a swear word slips out and i say oops, he will say the word automatically. if i just swear and keep going he doesn't copy it (at least not then).

what i won't tolerate is his calling me dummo or stupid when he is mad. what's funny is he didn't get that from me. he got it from spongebob square pants. lol. my daughter and the other grandmother won't let him watch it now. but it doesn't stop him. my daughter doesn't want ppl swearing around him. but she really needs to get over it because ppl do that anyway.

My kids have heard and used curse words. They know when it is inappropriate to use those words, like in public or in front of the grandparents & other people's kids. I won't hold them to some unreal standard because someone on the internets says I should. They use manners appropriately, they do not talk back to their elders, and they know that I am in charge. They do their chores and are generally good kids. I don't think saying *kitten* is going to mentally scar them.

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.

Can you imagine the glorious pattern a doily would make on your *kitten* cheeks? (or your face cheeks, depending on what position you took?)

im a weirdo and would want matching patterns on each *kitten* cheek.. doily or not

Stephen knows best, y'all.

I was "this"ing nope's post, but Jessamin's post is glorious as well.

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.
