[QUOTE="ck1, post: 114673, member: 3767"] Hhmmm, great question, Star! To me it would be an arugment worth having because I believe it's a matter of respect. I explained to my difficult child a long time ago that I know there are words that he hears when not with me (bio-dad, school) but they were not to be spoken to me or around me. If he wasn't sure about a word, ask me. Thankfully, we've never had a real problem with swearing. I'd like to think it was because I (and husband) have been good role models and not used those words with kids around. I know that difficult child does swear, probably more than I'd like, when he talks with friends. However, he's always been good around me. In fact, difficult child doesn't even talk back to me a whole lot. He's tested it more in the last few years, but it is kept to a minimum. I have always made it very clear that I'm not his buddy, I'm his mother, and he will speak to me (and all adults) respectfully, always. JoG, I'm also with you about the grammar!!! [/QUOTE]
