unacceptable

Have you considered that some of your students may wince? Or do you only consider whether you could be punished for it? To me, it would show a greater respect for your students if you spoke to them without cursing. |
My adult children don't swear. At least I've never heard them do it.
We swore a lot when they were little, so I guess we effectively made it uncool. |
Oh, the horrors!!!
I'm a woman. I've always cursed a lot. It's language and it's expressive and there is nothing wrong with it. My child did not curse when he was little. He doesn't curse at school (around teachers anyway) but at home, I couldn't care less. It's more important to know when certain things are appropriate than to ban them all together. But my kid is 15. I can't imagine policing his language when he is 25. |
It's interesting how language evolves, isn't it? I've definitely noticed a similar pattern with my kids and their friends. It seems like the f-word has become almost like a punctuation mark for them, expressing a range of emotions. Personally, I try to take a more laid-back approach to it, understanding that language norms change over time. When it comes to handling it, I think it really depends on your family's values and what you're comfortable with. Some parents might choose to set strict rules about language at home, while others might take a more relaxed approach like you do. It's all about finding what works best for your family dynamic. As for your husband flipping out about it, it's good for your children, because your children must understand, that using such words is unacceptable in "high" society, which is your family. |
You know who didn’t curse? Gomer Pyle.
Don’t be a Gomer. When an anvil falls on your foot, let the f-word fly if it makes you feel better. |
Low class and disrespectful. |
