Use a swear jar.
Set up a jar in the kitchen, and whenever anyone (adults included) swears, they have to put in cash. Make the amount sting a little, but don't make it unaffordable, otherwise it'll just go ignored.

Try what our band teacher did to get people to stop swearing in the band room in 8th Grade:
Try a swear jar, start out with a low amount of money(25 cents ish) if the swearing continues cuz they don't think that 25 cents is a big deal hike the price up to a dollar, then 5 dollars, then 10, they'll stop swearing around everybody because they don't want to pay that much for one word.

Take a bar of soap and put it in their mouth. They'll stop soon enough. Also, stop all their computer , TV privileges .. and ground them. In increasing order. P.S. If you or any adult in the house swears a lot , then what do you expect ? Good Luck! :)

How do the adults in the house talk? How very disrespectful for your kids to even be talking like that in front of their parents. I'd start taking away things they like and you have to stick with it. Dont give in to them

Play a little game called "tear that *** up"
Hey, i'm fifteen and it works for me. I NEVER swear in front of my parents or ever (voiding now) in public for fear of getting caught

Be open and honest, and frank. Tell them that you really don't like it, respect it or appriciate it. And if you find it offensive, tell them.
