Does your parents swear (at you)?

Yes and I have also sworn at them. We don't seem to take swear words so seriously, after all it's just a word.

I remember my Dad calling my brother the 'c' word once, that was a little to far.

I have seen some parents (especially mums) swearing at their 10 year old sons (like in supermarkets). Example: "f******* hell, just keep it there".

Personally I think this is very bad parenting.

No, no one swears in my house...

I agree. The sad part is, swearing is such a basic part of our lives now that it doesn't matter. Verbally abusing your children results in making them add dirt into their own vocabulary.

Swearing is forbidden in my house I wouldn't even know what swearing was if I hadn't picked it up at school :laugh:

No, my parents do not swear on me or my any sister or brother. Not even on their own. They do not use to, to swearing... :smile:

LOL, all the time.

In various different languages too. :colonhash:

It's funny when they say "son of a ______" because it just goes back to them :lol:

I mean my parents don't swear directly at me, there is something called MANNERS and RESPECT in the household

I also personally do not think that swear words in themselves are any less civilised than any other words. my parents swear on ocassion though usually in ageneral sense rather than directed anyone and i swear fairly often though once again usually when larking about with my mates of just in a general sense. that is where I think the main discussion lies as wether or not swearing is ok or not in my opinion really comes from the intent of the swear. if used in a joking or just general manner then i have no problem with it. its only when its directed at somebody that i would consider it offensive.

My parents both swear, although it is never usually directed at me (unless they're really angry)!! I, and the rest of my family, also swear fairly often in front of them, so it's kind of normal in our house in a way. But never usually directed at anyone in particular.

Yes, they have been aggressive and sworn both at and around me since I can remember. Never sworn in front of them, but I'm starting to now because the one-way nature is unbearable.
