this happened to me with my nephew i stubed my toe and was like "oh fuck" so for the nxt month my lil nephew kept sayin oh fuck and laughing his head off..sister still doesnt know where he heard it lool

I hate hearing little kids use those words... and DH and I have already learned to stop our habits of using those words.
Oh f...freak.
Son of a... biscuit eater!

things like that

My husband and I both cleaned our language up when Simon came along, but we are both really struggling when driving. It's bad, but man that is a hard place to bite my tongue, especially after some jerk cuts you off. I try to take a moment to catch a glimpse of my son watching me from his carseat and remind myself that it really really matters for him to see me keep control of my temper. It's not even so much the swearing as that for me.

^^What she said!^^

When I was growing up, my parents would very occasionally swear in front of me - but I knew not to even try it!

What I really hate is when children swear and their parents think its funny. Really bothers me.

I'm a bit of a potty mouth when I get irate, but otherwise try to steer clear from bad language. It was after an embarrasing trip on a local bus, I was on the phone to my sister, running late for work and said the F word about 3 times in as many sentences. This little old lady tutted at me and said she didn't want to hear my bad language and that was it, shamed me out of a bad habit! lol
I'm very wary out and about now (after my 6yo brother and Max), I never swear if there's kids present. I don't think it's very fair to inflict my bad language on them. I find it really cringeworthy when i'm out with friends and they swear every other word when there's kids and old people about.

i swear quite a lot without even realising it sometimes

when i was little my mam swore loads but i always knew i wasnt allowed and my brother knew we werent allowed and that they were grown up words, we would never dare say them, my youngest brother is the only one at home now and he is 15, you should hear some of the stuff he comes out with, it makes me sick, if leyla ever swore i would be sooooo mortified, i really need to stop swearing so much cos if she does i'll only have myself to blame, paul doesnt really swear so its me and my family haha, in some ways though i do kind of think what is the point cos even if i dont i know the rest of my family still will so she will be exposed to to it anyways

No. I have a handful of times when I hurt myself or something like that, but otherwise I don't swear.

I've had to come down on the neighbor kids like a dictator. Their dad is very loose about certain parenting practices and is one who thinks a word is just a word, and he lets them swear. They are 9, 7, and 6. The little 6 year old girl is the worst of the lot. I can hear her calling her brothers b*stards, F* You, sh*t, etc.. you name it. I can't control what happens in their house but when they were in my backyard I overheard some words and I put an instant kebosh on that nonsense. Clean up the language or booted back to your own house! Awful hearing little ones speak like that.

I started swearing loads when I was pregnant and haven't quite got back to normal so yes I do swear in front of Byron. Like Sarahkka I am a nightmare for bad language when driving, but as I swear instead if driving dangerously in retaliation I reckon it's the better way to vent my frustration. There are certain words I wouldn't want Byron ever to say and others not as a child but things like crap and shit are such nothing words I think it'd be easier not to make a big deal out of it.

When I was in junior school I called another boy a bugger. In context if was because I was saying he was really bugging me and I didn't even realise it had come out as a swear word but I got into loads of trouble with the dinner ladies. It was totally disproportionate.

I think there is a big distinction between swearing when you stubbed your toe than swearing at people and calling them awful things. I would never accept very American terms that are all over TV like son of a bitch. I'd rather my kids had avoid enough vocabulary to express themselves without needing to resort to cheap swearing.
