[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 114648, member: 2211"] I don't want to hear the "biggies" (you know which ones I mean) and I can let most of the little less offensive curse words roll off, especially during a meltdown. However, after the meltdown, we always taken a moment with difficult child and easy child to discuss better ways of expressing themselves. I don't think it's something to get hung up on, but it should be addressed, in my opinion. I used to tell them that if they wouldn't write it in a letter to their gramma, then it shouldn't pass over their lips either. They, of course, rolled their eyes. H and I do not ordinarily use foul language, though like Star, I have been known to hurl out an expletive or two. H, who works in construction, slips once in a while and uses a bit more foul language than I do. But we've always been prudent about using foul language around our girls, family, in public, etc. The thing that bothers me more than anything else is bad grammer. The hairs on the back of my neck go straight up when I hear anyone I know and love using bad grammer, moreso than foul language! The other day 'someone' in my family was trying to say the word 'broken' but instead said 'breaked'. I almost died. We're all educated! Let's try to sound like it, okay? [/QUOTE]
