Cursing

[minioncookies]

Without Judgement How many people here Curse To and or in front of children of their children???

I myself hate the fact that people do this i have never really been the type to like the cursing.. and or swearing but i can't control people so i tend to just stay away from that sort of thing.. I previously had to move to Austin which is basically why i haven't been around much or on here as much.. Losing money daily lol.. Anyways since being here... I have never in my life met so many people who curse straight to their children and or in front of their children.. in the stores.. outside... at schools... It breaks my heart really because i  belive those kids are going to grow up talking like that and think it's ok.. Which when your grown You an tend to do things you wanna do.. even though it could be considered rude.. and or intolerable.. I tend to think we can be better than that..Keep in mind.. this is just my opinion.. and my feelings toward the subject Not everyone is going to agree and that is ok.. What are your opinions on this??

I do not curse in front of anyone.  I just don't feel comfortable at all cursing.  It really irritates me to hear someone talk like that in front of a child.  One time I did say something to a person who was cursing at her child...and the child turned to me and said" f___ off"   So I mind my own business now.

I don't feel that cursing gets a person anywhere. And I was raised around a lot of it.  Once in awhile a word may slip out of someone's mouth even if they  don't  mean it. But when becomes a problem when  someone is  saying it  every fourth  word or so. It is so  sad to hear some of the younger generation is using it all the time. I do not  know who they are trying to impress or smaybe scare but they need their mouths washed out with soap.

 I hate cursing.  I do not curse.  I find cursing to be crass, vulgar, disrespectful and rude.  Such profane language is beneath the woman I am.  The language you use reflects who you are.

With kids, cursing spreads like a disease. You understand that statement, or you'll think truck and f*** is meant same.

Never that I remember and never ever in front of children now.  Children are like sponges and mimic everything adults do!

As my kids were growing up I would never curse in front of them now that they are older I do you curse in front of them but they are 22 and 23 so I think they’re old enough to understand and both of them probably cuss to so it’s not really a big deal I don’t like the F word at all and they know that and I try not to say that in front of me I’m sure but I grew up around cussing and it’s just a part of life there are worse things people can do the cuss

We did not curse in front of the children till they reached the age of eighteen and, even then, it is a once a year thing at most. We also taught our kids that many other words have no place in our day to day conversations like stupid, dumb, fat, ugly, hate, variations of words said in a spiteful manner and so many other words. We taught them that the use of such words would paint them, in the eyes of others, as being poorly brought up, having very little class, sometimes antagonistic, and being less than intelligent. It seems to have worked because the use of these words are very infrequent and both kids are at the top of their classes in college. My daughter will graduate in the top five percent of her class in May and has been offered positions with the largest engineering firm in the world and the most prestigious aeronautical firm in the world.

This... exactly this. 
Just watched a new Congress woman curse openly in public & in front of her 7 year old child & think that was appropriate behavior for an adult, let alone a representative of the people, it's profoundly disturbing.... who votes these people in to office, is this really the best we as a nation have to represent us.

      I do not curse around kids or ladies.  Just to myself.

I only curse when I get really upset, but never in front of other people especially children.  I know a couple who have a 9 and 11 year old, who think its funny when their children say the f-word.  That's very immature and not good parenting.  Personal opinion.

I don't cuss around children, or most adults.   
When I was growing up, and going through the testing boundaries stage of adolescence, my Dad said something to me that stuck. 
He said that people who used cuss words a lot had a limited vocabulary, and really just needed to find better words to express themselves.  He bought me a dictionary.  But he never once told me not to cuss.  He just gave me alternatives.

You should have known better than to confront or try to correct someone in public.  You are right it is none of your business.  I saw a kid sucking on a plastic bag that had bananas in it.  I told the mom because I thought maybe she didn't see what the kid was doing.  And she smarted off to me.  So when he sucked plastic down his throat - I walked away.

People who cuss all the time don't care if their kid says the words too.  I have a friend who is a pre-school teacher and she says the 3-4 year olds say stuff all the time.  They can't do anything but tell them "we don't say those words" and the kid replies F--- You.
