I'm dating a guy with two kids and, as any normal child does from time to time, they make inappropriate comments that obviously need correcting... When he's not there to correct them, or he doesn't think to point it out, is it appropriate for me to correct them... and say "we don't say that" or "that's not polite"?

Yup... and if he has a problem with it, call that your free preview of what married life would be like regarding you disciplining "his" children. Nuff said?

Stare at the guy you're dating if he's in the room. If he isn't, then diplomatically point out to the child the right thing to do or say and then tell the guy later.
Strongly agree with the suggestion to talk this over and come up with a protocol on how to deal with these precocious children.

Absolutely,it wouldn't matter even if your boyfriend was present,if one of his children is making smart remarks towards you for example,it would be directed towards you,and therefore i feel it would only be appropriate for you to address the issue.It sounds like by your statement that this might have been an issue between you and your boyfriend concerning on speaking to his children,but remember one thing,if he isn't going to step up and address this issue of their remarks,and really prefers you not to either,then it will never work.Those children will only disrespect you or others even more.I personally won't even consider watching a child that i can not make behave or be respective towards me.No one should have to tolerate such behavior in a dating situation with the mates children and he should nip it and let them see it is wrong behavior and show you some respect in doing so.Again my answer is yes you are in the right!Best wishes to you!

yes u can because children dont know good and bad . so by advicing them they learn about good and bad. if u keep correcting them from now they get happituted to doing the things in proper way.

Make that a topic for discussion. Ask your significant other why he feels that their language is appropriate in various settings.
Maybe he feels differently about the entire situation.

I even have in no way heard of the call Cree, yet I even have time-honored various Dakota's and the two boys and girls. And none have community American, that i comprehend of. yet, you could no longer constantly tell by technique of their visual attraction.

yes! Especially if it not good! Correct them because when their older they think it is fine!

if the father does not mention it-you should not either. dating the father did not give you the right to "raise the children".
