So true Scott. Kids can take hearing foul language, it doesnt hurt them in the long run...Its the
hateful and derrogatory remarks to them as a person that injures them.

I find the older I get, the less tolerant of foul language I am, mostly in public places. Privately I use it quite a bit...I'm a big under my breath grumbler. LOL

It might not hurt them, but I'd be concerned that it might coarsen them.

Ken says I cuss like a sailor sometimes. So far be it from me, to condemn anyone, for the potty mouth
syndrome. But I dont usually use it in public, its more around home and him....Im not proud.
But it is how I am, I guess. I think people that use it in public places show lack of intellect and the ability
to use good vocabulary... again i cant say im better...im lazy.

Agreed. Most of mine goes on when I'm driving alone. :P
I tell the kids that I know sometimes it just comes out really quickly -- when they get hurt or angry -- but in conversation, their vocabulary should be good enough to be able to choose better words. They agree -- whether they practice it or not?? :-\
I hate to hear people cussing at their kids. :(

I used to live above a family of 4. Pretty much of the lower class (economically speaking), and the way I would hear those parents talking to their kids very nearly made me call DSS. There are so many factors that come into play though. The stress of never knowing where the money is going to come from not being the least of it, but I could never tolerate hearing those kids spoken to that way. It made me sad and mad.
