I have been known to use adult language around my two little girls from time to time. But they are 21 and 23 so I dont feel too bad about it

I don't talk that way around adults, either. Profanity is a verbal crutch for the inarticulate. |

I don't around my kids. I also don't drink around them if I can help it. on the other hand I also don't shelter them from all the bad things in the world.

I turn it down a bit, but who fucking cares?
if you stub your toe in front of a kid and you say "shoot" or "darn it" instead of "shit" or "damn it" what does it matter? You are still cursing, just not using the words society deems bad. |

I swear like crazy, but I completely turn it off around the kids; mine or others. If I hurt myself, yeah, something might fly out.

There have been times when I accidentally let something slip during a fit of anger but otherwise I do not curse around my daughters or while out in public. My daughters are now teenagers and are aware of curse words and know that they are to not use such language. We have had similar experiences while out in public that the OP had and I've just used it as a teachable moment to my girls of how trashy and inappropriate it is to speak that way in public or as a part of one's regular vocabulary. I think they get it as I have not had that problem with them.

I try very hard when I'm around kids. I'm just not used to it, so I always seem to slip up once if given enough time around them.
I've never slipped while talking or playing with the kids, but having a conversation with their parents is a different story. ETA Also keep in mind I'm talking about 2-6 year olds. Plenty of 12-14 year olds around the hunt club I visit and some that belong to my friends. We don't watch our language around them because we know what is was like to be 14. |

Foul language is used when you run out of something intelligent to say. You could say something, but it will most likely fall on deaf ears. Common decency isn't so common anymore.
It's poop until you step in it though!

Several years of working in the field for engineering/construction work has helped to refine my fluency in profanity.
Now that my daughter is about to turn 1, I really need to dial it back. Wife unit does not find my choice of words amusing. |

I do not curse in front of kids, although they have pushed me to the edge several times.
In public, I have asked others to tone it down a little without creating any drama. Most people do not even realize they are doing it. |

I try not too, but I let some slip... a lot. When I realize I'm doing it, I am usually pretty good about stopping it.
Same thing with strangers. I just can't help it sometimes. Profanjty just adds color to an otherwise boring conversation. That and if I get the vibe that the stranger I'm talking to is prior mil, then the filter just magically comes off. I did it yesterday talking to a customer, and i NEVER cuss in front of customers. |

I won't answer the question, but I will tell a story...
Back in the bad old days, my wife and I had 2 jobs, 1 daughter, and 1 car. Since she had to be at work at 6am, I would get up early and take my wife to work, then my daughter and I would come back home and sleep a few more hours. Then I would get her, my daughter, ready for day-care then I would go to work. Well, one day she couldn't find her shoes. We looked all over the apartment. Spent about 30 minutes searching and I may or may not have been expressing my frustration with some descriptive language. Finally find her shoes and off we go. Next day is the same routine, get up, take wife to work, come back, sleep, get up again, get daughter ready. But, this time as I'm making breakfast for us, my less than 2 year old daughter comes in the kitchen with this big grin on her face and proudly proclaims: "Look, daddy! Look, I found my God-Damned shoes!" |

I don't do it around my kids. Little pitchers have big ears. My daughter Eden repeats everything ... even commercial jingles. It's never-ending. She was peeing the other day at 3:00 a.m. singing, "looky, looky, looky, here comes Cooky ... Cook's pest control."
But I do swear when needed ... I strung together a sentence of such monumental swearing the other day that I bet it somehow conjured demons, provoked devils, and deafened several nuns. My bare foot has the ability to seek out anything solid enough to break a toe pretty regularly. I broke two running through the house trying to dodge my weirdo neighbor who I saw coming across my yard. To make it even worse, I live in a split level and was diving down into a landing. After breaking my toes, I had a burst of super-adrenalin and launched myself too high ... bonking my forehead on the lower roof section. I spent the week hobbling around and looking like a Klingon thanks to bruising and swelling on my forehead. And the weirdo still saw me and knocked on the damn window, waving, telling me to come outside and see his new electric weed eater. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No. I don't talk that way around adults, either. Profanity is a verbal crutch for the inarticulate. I disagree entirely. They are words just like any other. They have definable definitions and uses. Excluding them from your vocabulary to sound verbose makes you seem like an inarticulate fuck. Notice the effectiveness of the word? Knave is an acceptable substitute, yet, it isn't. |

A few months ago, my roomie invited a friend over for something or other. They brought their kid over. I didn't even notice either of them were here.
I saw a few ants on the kitchen counter and went on a long string of profanity out of anger for those cocksucking assholes that keep finding their way in every winter. My roomie pops his head around the wall to let me know a kid was here. But seriously. There should never be kids here. Ever. |

IMO adults who do this around their own children are complete trash. I understand if you have no children you might not know how to turn it off in public but personally even before I had a child I did my best not to use any foul language around children. I have a 5 year old and understand you cannot shelter her from every bad thing out there but last night their was a family sitting beside of us at chic-fila and they were relentless with dropping F bombs every 2 minutes and they had 2 little ones with them. What do you do in this situation? Uh worry about your own kids? |
