How can I politely tell my friend to stop cursing all the time?

text messages and emails sometimes.

You clearly don't know her well if you don't know if she curses in her speech. If she does in your presence, that's when you ask her to restrain her language. Then she either does or she doesn't. Then you either see her in the future of you don't.

How old is your baby? If under 1 year I really wouldn't worry about it.

Get better friends. Potty mouths simply stink.

People that think the world revolves around, or should change for their baby simply stink.

It usually works out because anyone with a "potty mouth" would typically not be friends with a person like you.

I can have a potty mouth at times. It wouldn't bother me a bit if you asked me to try not to curse when your child is around. I'd happily comply.

I don't think you have to worry about asking someone to try not to curse. I think "telling someone not to curse around your child" is a bit harsher and may make someone defensive.

In reality, everyone knows that shouldn't curse around kids -- a gentle reminder should be all it takes.

If you told or even asked me not to curse in front of your baby, it would make me hate you.

Op here: I think this is what I am go to do. I have asked him not to cuss many times. If it happened occasionally it would be one thing. He constantly cusses in person and now in texts and emails. It's too much for me.

Some of you are so uptight.

At times is fine. She cusses all the time! It's to the point where she does it in emails or texts.

Occasional cussing is fine. My friend cusses a lot though. I think I am going to forget this friendship anyway. Cussing all the time in your 30s makes you a loser. This forum made me realize this.

OP, the fact is that your child will be surrounded by adults who will curse in front of them. If your kid is old enough, you just explain that those words are not polite and they are not to say them. You can't react when they do or they'll keep doing it. If your kid isn't old enough, then you have nothing to worry about.

Op, act on your preference. Drop this friend.
