As someone who's considered this tactic (I'm some years away from having children, but planning seems like a good idea), I'm interested in how that's working out. Have you ruined cursing for your kid as some people imply this tactic would?
- rsheridan6 18y agoWell, he's 4 and, although he knows every bad word except "cunt," he knows better than to say them, at least in front of grown-ups. But cursing is not ruined for him - he still thinks cursing is hilarious and he frequently asks me to say a bad word. I would say it's working out. He doesn't offend the tribal elders and I don't have to lie by simulating outrage - I've told him the real reason why he can't curse.
- technoguyrob 18y agoWhy not cunt?

- JesseAldridge 18y agolol. That would look pretty rude if you hadn't read the parent.
- rsheridan6 18y agoThat's about the only word we've never slipped up and said around him. It's hard to stop 30 years of potty-mouth cold turkey.
- OneSeventeen 18y agoYeah. No kidding. Honestly? Fuck that. ;)
