Do you cuss in front of your kids? My husband cusses alot. I'm constantly trying to tell him to watch his mouth. Sometimes I find myself cussing in front of them sometimes, but i try to stop. I know that they are going to hear it. But do they have to hear all time at home? what are your thoughts on cussing in front of the kids?

I feel this way; I was brought up in a home with little to no cussing, but m,y grandmother cusses. Now that my parents are getting older, they do the same. I cuss, my husband does, so does my ex husband so my son is exposed to it. Plus he is exposed to all of his friends cussing. We do limit the amount of cussing we do and for the most part, we do not use bad language on even a daily basis, but it does happen. We have just taught him that certain words are bad, what they all mean, and who he should and should not say them in front of.

Yeah I try to tell them that the words are bad and that sometimes you can't help it. But wow my husband has a dad habit of using the f word. Of course my daughters like "but daddy uses it". Just as long as she doesn't use it at school and get in trouble, I guess its ok for now. Thanks for your comment.

If a word is going ot be used in our house, it is quite often the f word. My son actually doesn't curse, which I think is really good considering he is alsmot 9. He actually tells his father that he is bad and shouldn't use that kind of language. LOL He doesn't correct his step dad and I though, I guess cause he just like to annoy his father.

I have a bad habit of cussing, but not as bad as my boyfriend. I've actually learned to watch what I say cause my daughter is at the stage where she repeats everything that she hears. I'm always reminding my boyfriend when he uses cus words. My very first word was the S word *hit. But I think it sounds very bad when you hear someone say a cuss words every other word in a sentence.
