[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be too chicken, but profanity really, really bothers me. It’s inherently rude, which now seems to be our culture’s thing. Drives me bonkers.[/quote]

I am a pretty consistent profanity user. G-d, fck, mo-fo, but I also hold doors. Offer to walk people to theirs cars with my umbrella if they dont have one. Bring my older neighbors trash can onto her porch most weeks. My almost 3 year is very polite kid. He consistently says thank you, bless you, youre welcome, thank you for helping me, etc.

I assume I am judged by people like yourself who think its rude, but it [b]is my vice of choice [/b]and at the end of the day, it doesnt endanger anyone.

Hmm..yeah just because it's your "vice of choice" doesn't mean it's ok. Even in public with just adults around, it's annoying when someone uses too many cuss words. Its just etiquette, basic civic sense to be decent in front of others, kids and adults, unless you are with company that is ok with it.

You need a medal for holding doors and helping neighbors? Your 3 year old might be polite right now but will also be the one that teaches the whole class words that they are too young to understand and then there are 20 families having conversations with the teacher and kids about why they are inappropriate. So, go ahead and think no one is being endangered and there are plenty like you and your kid who are a pain to deal politely with and give the rest of us an indication of which kid and families in the class to avoid having playdates with.
