how do you feel about parents who encourage their young child to curse?

One of my child hood friends is like this...She cussed growing up and now all three of her kids from a young age on hear them doing it all the time...And she thinks there is np with it as she swares around them too..I agree with you I think it is immature to encourage it in small children because it's not polite to be using a cuss word every second word when talking to someone I admit when i'm frustrated or upset I let those kind of words fall out of my mouth but I try very hard in not doing that because I don't want to raise and show my children that it's okay to do that when you are mad or upset...

I dont think its right for parents to teach ther kids to swear. No child under 18 should say cuss words. Parents who teach cuss words to there children, then laugh when they say it are setting themselves up for problems in the future. These kids will go to school and cuss at the teachers and children. They learn no respect this way. My kids said a swear word one time and I told them about it and why it was a bad word and that they should NEVER say things like this. I had a neighbor 2 years back whos son taught my son to say Co*k Sucker!! He called me that!! I was not happy. I asked where he heard it. He said the neighbor boy said it to him. I went and told the mom and she says oh thats ok we say things like that. Hes just playing with his dad. I was like WHAT?? Its ok for your 3 year old to say things like this?? Well my son wasnt allowed to play with him anymore.

I've known people who would do that. They had us come up to the van where the kids were and had them say it. I was shocked that someone would think that was funny. I can just imagine what trouble those kids will get into when they say that stuff in school. I think parents should be punished if their kid swears. ha ha.

child to curse is not a funny,that is bad,i think most of people(adult)don't like this.we should teach our children to be civilty ,like a gentleman,teach them to learn right costom and belief in their country.child is a bottle of rinsing,you mix what paint,he will become what color. but i think that many parents are really rude,in that family,other people have no way to help these children.

Teaching a child negative behavior is wrong but i think we all do it. Not always with cursing or something that can be seen as obscene. My daughter tells her daughter 'hey sexy mama' I hate that, can't stand it. At the same time, i tease my granddaughter. I show her pictures and tell her this is my mommy. No my mommy is usually her response. There is the possibility that i am doing more harm than my daughter is. We will have to wait on that.

I have noticed an increasing number of parents who are doing the same thing. I have a 2 year old and I don't even let my friends and family cuss around him. He is so easily influenced and picks everything up at his age. I don't agree with parents who allow their children to cuss in the first place. It is nasty, unattractive, and pure ignorance. Todays society is becoming so tolerant to such rude and offensive behaviors. With the way it is going I would hate to see the future of our great great grandchildren!

I've seen alot of ppl that do this and they usually end up regretting teaching them to do that when the kid ends up cussing out a teacher or someone from church. I was never encouraged to swear and even now I tend to watch my language all the time. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~
