[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I swear in front of our 4 y/o here and there. We've explained, and he's been able to understand, that grown ups can say some words that it's not okay for kids to use, because grown ups know when and were NOT to say them. [/quote]

I swear in front of my 17 year old, and I really think I shouldn't.  When I was living in Germany, a buddy told me the story of an American he knew who had moved to Germany after college and worked as a house painter (not sure how he got the job - may have had family there).  Annyway, he arrived with decent German from school, and got to be very fluent.  After a couple of years, he went back to the US and went to business school.  When he was interviewing for positions that required German language after b-school, he didn't get jobs because he couldn't get through an interview without swearing.  He knew he shouldn't do it, but it was so ingrained that he couldn't help it.  Don't know if that story is true, but I do know that when I'm in the habit of swearing, it's hard for me to control sometimes.[/quote]

That sound like an off reason for an adult to not get hired.  Was he specifically told that was the reason?[/quote]
