I love my family but I cannot handle being around their inappropiate language or topics that they talk about.Do you have family members like that?

i think the phenomenon you have met is usual among the college students.we all have no expencice handling the relationship with the adult around us.so you should not fell unconsious about it .we can learn it from our parents who will be pleased to help us .

I responded before reading thru the answers here. I think I get what you are saying. In my family, when we all get together...the adults....all sorts of topics get brought up and profanity is common. However, when there are elderly or children around, we all do watch the content of our conversation. It's all about respect and a touch of common sense. There is a time and place for everything. You have to consider those around you.

They were in the older peoples home and the children were sitting right on the floor by them.Someone told them that they sounded redicolous and to watch their language.But, their respect only lasted a couple of minutes.

Some of them can be pretty nasty at times....We cannot choose our families though ,so we have to take them as they come....I do make better choices though when choosing my friends...

Good for you! Two of these people are blood relatives.The real mouthy one is a relative by marriage to one of those blood relatives.

That is the same with me. I stay away from them. We have quite a few of them in my family who use inappropriate language.

I was at someone elses house on Christmas and I did not know that these people were going to be there and not control their actions in someone else's house.

my family talks about everything and anything. They are a lively and fun bunch of people. Yes, bad language is pretty common but I'm not offended. As for inappropriate subjects, well, some would think so I guess. I don't get offended easily by what anyone chooses to talk about but there are certain things that could raise some fire in me, I guess. What sorts of things do they talk about that upset you so?

Some cussing does not bother me.What bothered me was the "f" word was used 2 or 3 times in every sentence.One person talked the whole time about the times she got drunk and how she acted.Twice she talked about something else.Once about how a married man asked her out and he is her friends husband.Her and another person talked about how a man sexually used a friend of theirs and they spoke about it in detail and the one person's children were sitting right near them.A lot of people know that second hand smoke bothers me and an older person and they would not go outside when they smoked.

Yes my father is this way and it makes it really hard to get together as a family since my one side of the family are all church goers. I don't want him to say stupid stuff and offend others. Everytime we get together I always tell my mom I know why she divorced him and can't believe she stayed married to him for eight years lol

I know what you mean.There is always someone who has to reuion the party.In the message that our pastor gave this morning he said that some people think that because they went out and got drunk on new Years Eve and woke up with a hang over on News Years morning that they had a good New Years. I wonder why some people are married or dating at all more or less 8 years.

Sorry you have to be around that. Mine sometimes can be that way, but not all the time.

well, luckily I don't have that kind of people in my family who will be talking inappropriate language every time we are together. Of course I don't like it either if I am in your situation? I won't join them. Maybe the best thing for you to do is either tell them about it or just exit when they start to say inappropriate language.
