Ex doesn’t like that my siblings curse

[Anonymous]

Last week I took my kids on vacation with my family. My siblings and parents have a more colorful vocabulary than I do, about on par with my ex. On the trip my siblings dropped the occasional S-bomb, and caused my kids to remark on it. I told them that this is adult language for some adults and that they should not speak like this, but they can ignore it. I asked my sibs to cut it out. They did not.

When I got home my kids mentioned to my ex that their aunts and uncles cursed around them. My ex called me to tell me this and told me that I was expected to deal with it. What am I supposed to do? My whole family curses. My ex curses. I’m not the cursing police.

Don’t do anything. To your ex you can say, “thank you for telling me your concerns.”

Exactly this. You cant control other people's vocabulary and neither can your ex. He's trying to control what others do around your kids. As long as there not cursing at the kids or screaming profanity in every sentence the kids will be fine.

Tell him to f*@k off!

You should tell him exactly what you wrote in the last 4 sentences of your post OP. That is a perfect response.

Your family is trashy. It’s sad they can’t refrain from using bad language in front of children.

MY BIL swears in front of my kids and they think less of him because of it.

I am asking my DH to talk to him about it.

BIL wonders why kids are not more "pro-Uncle" and they are actually judging him for how he talks. BIL is single and has no kids.

+1. Seriously. The next time they want to go have fun with family you can let them know that they wrecked that plan with their inability to shut their cake holes.

He's right, but that’s not enforceable and not a hill to die on.
