[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 45857"] I did the soap on the mouth when difficult child was younger, although it was for smarting off to me...she doesn't swear in front of me. Neither does easy child. When easy child's friends are over, I hear them swearing. Yes, they are older, but it's been that way for several years. Maybe try taking the "bad" out of swearing. For example, I know the kids are going to swear, so the rule in this house is that they are not allowed to swear when talking to me. They can swear all they want when talking to their friends. I do have a firm rule against anything derogatory, the N word or the other F word, and it's amazing how a 6' tall kid (not my easy child, he's only 5'9, but it works on him, too - all kids in my house are treated as my own) will go straight to their knees when you grab their ear. So, I don't hear those words in my house anymore. But, more importantly, I've taken the "fun" out of swearing by allowing them to do it. Of course, I'm comparing easy child kids to difficult child kids, but I just wanted to throw another idea out there. [/QUOTE]
