[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, we do because we don't censor language.  [b]Our only rule[/b] is that the kids can't use swear words against another person.  No saying F you to a sibling or calling someone a little sh!t etc.

We aren't big swear word users in general, so I don't think I've ever used one in front of their friends.  I do hear their friends cursing from time to time when they're all gaming in the family room.

I wouldn't consider the kids as having potty mouths, either.  I feel like since they're allowed to use those words [b]when the correct time comes up[/b], there's no novelty to them.  My youngest, a tween, doesn't even curse even though she knows she can.  She said it feels wrong to her and that's fine with us.    [/quote]

First of all, you are censoring language because you have rules (which is fine).  Second, you are of course teaching them when it's appropriate.  I'm sure you would say something if they were cursing in school or in front of grandma or some other place you find socially unacceptable.[/quote]
