[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 114741, member: 59"] If I had all easy child's perhaps this would be a battle I would fight, but it's not an issue I would ever tackle given the seriousness of some of the other things we have dealt with. I have been called every name in the book. Yes it has hurt, but there were bigger dragons to slay and making an issue over the swearing would do nothing to solve the other problems. If I couldn't control her other behavior how in the world could I control her language. I agree that it is a sign of respect not to use that language and my easy child doesn't. This is where I disagree that all kids can be treated the same. We have lowered the bar for difficult child. It has proven not to be a factor in her other behavior, most kids talk that way. I was shocked when I started reading conversations on myspace and IM's to see the vulgarity used. She does not swear in front of other adults, but I have had to remind her to use appropriate language at times, e.g., she often says "I was really p*ssed off". I was raised in a home where there was a lot of swearing. I'm not proud of it but my father's blue collar upbriging and limited education allowed me to learn many words at an early age that I wish I hadn't. My New Years resolution is to try to elimiate all curse words from my vocabulary. However, I would never tolerate my husband to curse or swear at me, and he hasn't ever. Bottom line is it just isn't an issue I would ever press with difficult child. She will learn that to get along in the working world she will have to be mindful of how she talks. Nancy [/QUOTE]
