Swearing in front of Gc.

Depends whether you mind THEM swearing. I'd not do it. Little ones really really do look up to their 'grands' - so they will think swearing is really good if you do it.

Wouldn't dream of swearing in front of my children or grandchildren. In fact would refrain from ever swearing in any company. If I'm on my own and stub a toe - then.... it's a different story!!

It is hard these days as certain words are now almost accepted as part of normal speech. I myself do not use certain words but I admit to the odd bloody hell or bugger.
My nieces vocabulary literally makes my ears curl and yet neither of her children swear because she has taught them not to.
She was telling me about her friends little girl who was about 3 and was sitting in the back of the car saying “ im a good girl hey mam cos I dont say F good girls dont say F only naughty girls say F so im a good girl cos I dont say F.

I don’t swear so it’s not a problem for me, I remember my Grandma saying Christchurch near Bournemouth when things went wrong as a child i didn’t realise til later she was not blaspheming. If really exasperated I will say phooey or blow.

I didn’t know any swear words more serious than ‘bloody’ until I was grown up. Nobody swore at my girls’ school, nobody swore at home, so I simply never learnt the words. When I read Lady Chatterley at the age of twenty or so I learnt a few words which I gathered from the publicity were considered swear words, but they meant nothing to me and didn’t shock me at all.

I don't swear and try not to blaspheme. OH swears a lot as do DCs but not infront of children. I really hate to hear swearing but it is more and more prolific in society. I also correct GC when she used words that are a bit crude. I usually say, you wouldn't say that if having tea with the queen!
DD, a teacher, told me that on the first day of term with a class of 4/5 year olds she went into the staff room at break to report that the first swear word had been said by a child. Another teacher laughed and asked if it was 'bum' but unfortunately it was the 'f' word.

I rarely swear. If I do it's never in front of children. If I ever let out the occasional 'b****r in front of my middle-aged daughter she always says, "Mother! Get your rosary beads out!" ?

We lived over where my ex worked and my son was often around the men working. Bad language was a bit of a problem but I told my son it was against the law to swear until you were 21 and he didn’t. Even he doesn’t swear and no I wouldn’t use bad language with children around.

Never swore in front of my kids until they learnt it in their teens from school mates!! They definitely don't swear in front of their own children thankfully. In a few years they'll be no doubt teaching me unfortunately!!!

Definitely not in front of grandchildren.

I do swear but NEVER in front of children and I don't ever blaspheme. I would think that parents of the littlies I know would be abolutely right to ask me to control my languuage in front of their children and I would be embarassed and apologetic if I misspoke in front of a child.
If you didn't use that language at work then you can control it and IMO you should.

Why bother with an issue like this.
When they get to school they will probably teach you a few more words.
