But I'm pretty sure once I got started, I had a brother or two egging me on.......so it must be their fault! ;)Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19574767.post-15078615037611198922007-03-09T06:59:00.000-07:002007-03-09T06:59:00.000-07:00I love Lorelei's comment!!

But you see, big Daddy has been known to have a foul mouth and was raised by a Cockney dad who swears colourfully in British and an upper class mum who swears grammaticallky correctly! <BR/><BR/>Whenever Jethro's on the phone swearing the kids roll their eyes and say "Daddy's on a business call again." Cussing is regular in the music biz. <BR/><BR/>We have taught them that they can't swear at the table, at Grama's or in church. Or at school. And I really don't want to hear cusswords come out of their mouths. But if Grama swears it's ok. And if Granny swears, well, who's gonna stop her?<BR/><BR/>However.... we have made a special exception. You can say it if you're standing in it. Here's the funny part- if they don't want to help in the barn I just tell them they can swear if they come out. I"m such a bad parent.<BR/><BR/>Nicole I loved your description of your big cuss moment!!!

Wish I could say the same thing to myself in time when one of those bad choices pops out.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882889048711405333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19574767.post-1668156711528667582007-03-08T10:42:00.000-07:002007-03-08T10:42:00.000-07:00I really don't swear that much, and pretty much no...I really don't swear that much, and pretty much not at all in front of the kids who think that "shut up" is hard core swearing when it comes out of my mouth, but said husband....lordy lordy! Was he a truck driver in an earlier life that I don't know about? It became clear early on that he would not be able to curb that mouth, so we decided on a different tactic. Adults can swear, kids can't. Double standard, yes, but I'm completely comfortable with that. Adults have a lot of vocabulary words to choose from (including grandma & grandpa who can get pretty foul-mouthed themselves) and sometimes they choose the wrong words. Kids (we tell them) need to build their vocabulary and use different words. When they are big, they can choose to use nasty words or not, but WHEN YOU'RE UNDER OUR ROOF you watch your sassy mouth.<BR/><BR/>Somehow that rationale has worked and I've heard the girl say under her breath after grandpa says sh*t for the tenth time, "Bad choice. Bad choice." <BR/><BR/>Plus, I swear that one of the grandmas does not know the biological anatomical terminology for the male and female anatomy. She is all about the nasty slang words. What's up with that??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
