~Why Would You Curse At Your Children Like That?~

Kids will emulate their parents, and if they hear them swearing, then they will say the same thing. It is sad too, but like you said, the parents are to blame. They can't expect their children not to swear if they do it all the time themselves.

I imagine that after what you heard pn the phone, youwould not have those children

I have heard some parents scream at their children using those kind of words also. I am glad you said no to this lady as you can image the language those children will be using even though it is not their fault they will think it is okay because the parents say it.

Of course the parents are at fault. Parenting is a huge responsibility and a lot of people are terrible at it.

This is sad but true. Most people who do this tho are sometimes living a very difficult life or have gone through the same thinga on their childhood thus passing them to their kids without wvwn knowing it. Those cursing and shouting are so normal for them that thwy cant even see what ia wrong with how they treat their own kids.

I am firmly convinced that the problem with most difficult children today is the poor parenting they are getting at home. The politicians want everyone to think the schools are the problem, but the truth they are afraid to face it the problem is in fact a parenting problem.

I really agree with you...it's what the children are seeing at home. It's so hard here with my oldest and her 5 children living with us. They are always saying something they shouldn't...not hearing it here, so I can only assume they hear it when it's their time with their fathers.

Oh my goodness. And she was calling a childcare place about employment! How truly ironic. Lol. I have heard mothers swearing at children and it really bothers me. They should be teaching them better than that.

That's not a good thing to do. It wasn't appropriate even if we are in a verge of anger to children. It is a good environment for the children.

I say bad words sometimes, but never in front of my children. if they accidentally heard it, I will explain to them that it's not good saying those bad words.

I think the way they are treated at home has a lot to do with the way the younger generation is today. Years ago my aunt live across the street from a lady who would come out and swear at whoever parked there car on the street in front of her house. My cousin was in the military at the time. One day he came home on leave and he parked his car in front of this lady's house. Before anyone could say anything this woman came out and started swearing at him. He stood there until she was done then said, "Lady, you ought to be ashamed of yourself using that type of language in front of all these children." The woman when back into her house without saying a thing. After that he always parked in front of her house. She never again said anything to him.

That is dreadful language to use in front of children. I think there needs to be parenting strategies taught. Some parents seem to have no idea.

Some people are simply not meant to be parents! Shocking behavior! Someone should take them to a 'How to be a normal parent' workshop.

What kind of thing is that to say to any kid? *insert horrified emoji here* "Kids are impressionable" I don't know how many times I have said this thing on mylot. Kids learn much more and much better from the examples one as a parent put forth rather than all the 'good' manners and teachings one seem to hammer into their little heads. I as a teacher myself had encountered parents that say things like 'dog', 'bi*ch', 'bas*ard' to their kids. Really? What good are you teaching them?

I wont say I've never raised my voice at my children, but I also dont understand how or why someone could use that kind of language directed towards their children. There is no reason to toss profanity at your babies, the same that you would at your enemy.

Good thing you said No. I'm thinking that if that was the environment that they were brought up, it could prove problematic on you if you accepted them. Not so much your interaction with her children, but the time you'll probably spend away from other children that you care for (including your own), just because you have to give her children extra attention.

How sad is that, children area like little sponges and take all of the words, and worse yet, the anger that comes with those words into themselves. As a mother who has buried a darling little girl and cannot have any more, it breaks my hearts when I hear about this because we had our name on the adoption list for years, and sadly we were never chosen, yet clearly there are mothers out there that shouldn't be parenting.

Glad that you told her that you were not taking any Full Timers.

I have heard parents say awful things to their children. It shocks me the language some parents use.

I believe the same as you. It starts with the parents. *be well*
