Do you use foul language in front of your children?

Question

This is simple curiosity. I was walking out of the gym today and the woman in front of me was on her cell explaining why she is leaving her boyfriend/husband and using very explicit language. I then realized a young girl that looked to be about 10 yrs old was with her. I wondered how many people use such language in front of kids.

Answer 1

I really trained myself out of it when my daughter was a baby.........I will spell it rather than saying it when talking with my friends in front of the children... I guess that only works when they are small though!

Answer 2

I ahve found out to no longer!!! My 3 yo is a sprint mocking chook, and could repeat fairly lots something he hears. I even have started conserving a transformation jar in my front room, and that i value 1 / 4 for each curse word this is asserted in front of my teenagers. I made $50 one night throughout a basket ball game. Now all of us that comprises my homestead watches their mouth. I even value myself for the occasional slips that each and everybody dad and mom have.

Answer 3

I hate to admit it, but I have used language around my son that he doesn't need to hear.
I never thought much about it, until he started repeating things I have said and he's only 8 yrs old.

I watch everything I say around him now, trying to "train" myself from having him pick up my terrible habit.

Answer 4

Most parents I know do - we all try to limit the usage but as the saying goes "Sh...Happens".

Answer 5

I do now-- because my child is 42.

Answer 6

no. it's trashy, cheap and I feel sorry for the kids.

Answer 7

I never did, nor did my wife.
