[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 601957, member: 1514"] Im going to tell you something that I have learned in retrospect. All of the therapists and psychiatrists over the years told me to ignore the mouth and cussing. Told me we had worse behaviors and bigger fish to fry. I think it was the biggest mistake anyone ever gave us. Now I have a grown man who cant say a sentence without there being half a dozen cuss words in it. Now I never dealt with violence towards me or really anyone in the house other than normal sibling stuff because every last one of my kids knew that well, they would as my youngest always said "wake up dead." They were convinced that because we own 8 acres with most of it swamp land that we could dispose of the body easily...lol. But seriously, my kids were afraid enough of their father that they would never think to raise a hand. And eventually, my middle one was big enough to take down the youngest if the need had arisen and everyone knew it. I can take a lot of behaviors but not that. I also think we should have nipped that mouth in the bud when it started as a child. I should have never had to hear all those words in my house. Especially from my kid. I have learned and trust me, my grandchildren will not cuss me out. I had one try it when she was two and I whipped her butt good because her parents just sat there. If they want to let her cuss them out, so be it but I wont. She doesnt like me too much...lol. Oh well. I have gotten mean in my old age. [/QUOTE]
