They would tell ME that I just said a bad word. lol I wanted to know how THEY knew what words were bad words. I ended up telling my kids that there are words that are considered "curse/cuss/bad words" and only grown-ups can say them.

I was good when the kids were smaller, but now that their tweens/teens I'm not so great. As for the schools, luckily we're in a good school system.

I know that we had plenty of time around service men and women and even I used such language in my time during our Sea Cadet boot camps that I served in. But you are right, there is a time and a place. And it doesn't have to be taken as you are unintelligent. The fact you can spell and literate yourself so well, tells me you are educated.

Many "bad" words are in the Bible. Like ass. And we read the Bible as a family and I tell them they can read the word. What we point out is the attitude behind it that changes the word from being acceptable to a curse. Just like the middle finger is still just a finger, when you point it at someone with the attitude of I hate you RDCARTERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167052088993521101noreply@blogger.com
