Foul Language

I do not allow profanity from my daughter in my house. I know she probably uses it around her friends outside of my house to be cool or whatever, but it is definitely not allowed in my house. I told her that she had better tell her friends that it is not appropriate adn I will make them leave if they speak that way in my house. So, no, I can't say that I allow it out of my 13 year old. It isn't appropriate for any child to have a potty mouth at home. I think it is disrespectful to you and to themselves.

No way. I think kids who use foul language are disgusting. They should have more respect for their elders than to curse around them.

My hubby seems to think it is going to be okay for them to curse but I think otherwise. It just shows disrespect when you curse in the presence of your parents or elders. Now if they end up using it when they get older outside of the home then I really have not control over it. Not like I am going to be there to hear or not hear it.

My son did, but it was also fitting in the context and the situation he described. He still is the same way, he is now 21. I think to forbid it all together will make a kid want to use it more...u know...the forbidden fruit kind of thing. The kids I see that are the worse are the one's whose parents over-react to bad language.

I do not advise it. With those foul languages, they may transform into something bigger than they are as a mere expression and that is the sad part. But also there are people who can control themselves and realize the long term effects of it. But then it is a question of whether you would play the chance or not. Whether you would take the probability or not. So this early, take care of the languages your little girl hears. If you can cultivate her good at home, she will have a less tendency to get influenced outside. You just have to give her a strong foundation. No matter what she encounters outside the family circle, she can be as her good self because of a good family background, value and upbringing.

i wouldnt allow my son to curse. i think children who curse dont know they sound ignorant.i try to watch what i say around my son cause he is young and in his mocking stage. i have a friend that teaches her daughter foul laungage and i think it gross.

I don't even swear so I certainly won't tolorate my children doing it around me intentionally. My older three are 11,9, and 7 so they know better. My younger ones hear it from their dad all the time and it bugs me so much! He has such a bad mouth on him that seriously not a day goes my without hearing "gdmfcs" at least once...if he isn't swearing he's probably sleeping. The 4 year old pretty much knows he's not supposed to say those words now but slips sometimes, usually because he's either telling on his little brother or his 17 year old brother lied and told him it wasn't a bad word. The two year old just repeats everything he hears and doesn't understand yet. I admit it is sometimes amusing when he can't get a toy to cooperate and spouts off a f*** or s*** but it's not something I "let" him get away with. I'm trying to get their dad to clean up at least around the boys but he's so used to talking that way I don't think he even realizes he's doing it. I told him once that I quit listening to him when he swears...it didn't help. Oh and when I was growing up, it wasn't allowed in our house at all. My parents could but we couldn't. I even got in trouble once just because my sisters SAID I said a bad word even though I didn't say it, they just misunderstood me.

There's no way. I never even said shut up in my mother's house, much less anything else. My son will not be allowed any kind of profanilty while in my house, and anything he does say needs to be said with respect. If he wants to insult someone or have a battle of the wits or whatever, he can do it like I had to. He'll have to learn the finer nuances of sarcasm, patronization, and subtlety. He'll look a hell of a lot smarter doing it too, lol. Blessed Be

At no time should we allow our children to abuse. Stop them at the first time they start. like nipping it in the bud. If allowed to continue, this could lead to problems in the future with in-laws, friends and office staff. Nobody likes foul mouthed people and tend to steer clear away from them. When they are kids, people feel it very cute when they abuse in their innocence, but it could affect their future.

It is not proper to use foul language even if you were old too...Foul language can hurt anyone...so prefer not to say..and children of young age say that language when they heard it from anybody at home..i do believe that teaching begins at home...

we dont allow our child to be a potty mouth, before hand when they were kids we dont let them hear those kind of language so they wont do it when they grew up. if i hear them saying that we spank there mouth so they would put it in there mind that it is bad. and another things is choose a tv program that dont use those kind of language. there are so many violent program that kid want to idolize. the environment is one example on how kids idolize there personality.
