[quote=Anonymous]OP Here.  I probably should have chosen a different word than traumatized -- was speaking more in the vernacular.  My wife was rightfully quite upset with me.  We've both sworn before in front of the kids -- me more frequently -- but never before called a kid a name.  Normally we would address only the behavior and escalate only as far as saying something like "you're being stubborn and acting like a jerk" but never name-call.  This was a slip-up on my part and I don't intend to repeat.

I was just having a difficult time believing my wife's assertion that most parents don't swear at their kids occasionally.  Based on the sample size here, my wife's assertion appears correct.  But I'd also caveat that the psychographic profile for the DC area and this forum is fairly homogenous (educated, liberal) and does not make for accurate polling science.  That's not to say you're wrong about the swearing, just that we're unlikely to get many people who do it because you all know better.
