They don’t swear in front of you. FIFY |
If you need physical force to establish the pecking order, you are not smarter than your own child. Only low class, low IQ people use physical tactics to discipline their children in 2025. |
DP, right. That’s the point. Are you telling me all these kids getting their mouths washed out with soap stop swearing entirely? Or just in front of their parents? |
This. |
That's your trashy children Mine get annoyed when we show movies with excess swearing even though we are fine with it. They say they get enough at school |
| I’m losing sleep over a lot more worrisome things than swearing |
Really? All children must be taught how to behave. Obviously. Your children are unwelcome every where because you have taught them nothing. |
Oh honey |
Bless your heart. Do they also avert their eyes to kissing scenes and says swimsuit ads are too revealing? |
Do they raise their hands in school when the class is watching the movie Home Alone and say “Mrs Shoemaker, I’m not comfortable with some of the words in this movie and I don’t think it’s appropriate for 10 year olds. May I excuse myself please?” |
I think you're supposed to give them other options for how to behave, as long as you don't cause them any kind of discomfort. Please, do not cause a misbehaving child to feel any discomfort. /s |
You haven't been around a middle school lately? I think you too would get tired of all the swearing and not want more at home. Weird concept to you? Mine are working through high school now. Old enough to know what they want at home. |

I haven't read all the replies, but when I was 5 a neighbor kid taught me to say "f it." My mom washed my mouth out with soap and I never swore again in her house.
I do have a sailor's mouth now, so it didn't work long term, but I respected her rules after that. She wasn't f'in around. |
Why would anyone think it’s a good thing that kids are easily annoyed by normal everyday life experiences? That seems like a burden and not something we would want for our children. |
