[quote=Anonymous]Serious question. My four year old used the “f” word today (in a way where she used it as an adjective) and I just wanted to laugh and then say oh crap, she’s going to get in trouble and so am I. But why? Why does it matter if a kid swears? Why are we giving those words in particular such power? Now mind you I am not talking about swearing at someone or using derogatory terms to describe someone. That is never okay whether the name is a “swear” or not. But saying something “effing” sucked or saying “$&@-“ when something happens, why is that so bad? Perhaps it’s because Im, gasp, a “xennial” (old millennial) or that I’m an atheist, or that I’m really progressive but I just do t see why we make such a big deal about this especially since nearly every adult I know swears from time to time, or more than time to time, so why do we care so much about a kid using a “bad word”?
