I kno...I am guilty of swearing in front of my kids! I know, I know, but I don't see the whole big deal about swearing, never have. <br /><br />We are of the mindset that instead of getting all worked up and excited over the use of certain words, we just treated them like normal and explained that it wasn't a word we used in public.<br /><br />We have though, told them that if they feel the need to use a swear word, it's fine as long as they know "when" they can use a certain word. They can't use it in school or around other children etc. <br /><br />I think explaining about swearing is a lot better then making it a huge taboo and making a huge deal about it. JMHO though, I know a lot of people don't feel this way and that's all good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030285391680735107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382039007985764871.post-76205593325473897062011-07-07T17:09:06.716-04:002011-07-07T17:09:06.716-04:00I agree kids are swearing more today and I also ag...I agree kids are swearing more today and I also agree it's mostly coming from other children.<br /><br />I bet as parents, we swear LESS than around our children than our parents (especially our fathers) did around us. Yet our children are swearing more. I personally feel it's coming from children trying to look cool and act YEARS beyond their age and no one putting them in their place.<br /><br />As parents we are afraid of our children! If I swore around my father there would be punishment the likes of which are not seen today. While I don't agree with the hitting of old I think there should be stronger punishments and consequences.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382039007985764871.post-20177083993129271192011-07-07T16:40:50.003-04:002011-07-07T16:40:50.003-04:00I agree with the survey results.

I never swore in front of my kids but they hear it everywhere. And actually they think nothing of it...it is just another word to them! Maybe we need to learn from them and not get all hung up over a word.Carolhttp://www.facebook.com/moneymanagingtipsnoreply@blogger.com
