KIDS CUSSING

A 6-year-old and a 4-year-old are upstairs in their bedroom. "You know what?" says the 6-year-old. "I think it's about time we start cussing." The 4-year-old nods his head in approval. The 6-year-old continues. "When we go downstairs for breakfast I'm going to say hell and you say ass."

"OK!" The 4 year old agrees with enthusiasm.

Their mother walks into the kitchen and asks the 6-year-old what he wants for breakfast. "Aw hell, Mom, I guess I'll have some Cheerios."

WHACK! He flies out of his chair, tumbles across the kitchen floor, gets up, and runs upstairs crying his eyes out, with his mother in hot pursuit, slapping his rear every step. The mom locks him in his room and shouts "You can just stay there till I let you out!"

She then comes back downstairs, looks at the 4-year-old, and asks with a stern voice, "And what do YOU want for breakfast young man?

"I don't know," he blubbers, "But you can bet your ass it won't be Cheerios!"

That was cute but what do you do when kids curse?

I never even heard a swear word until I was almost a teenager. My parents never swore, and my dad was in the military, lol.

Kids mimic what they hear. I personally hate it when I hear children swearing. Don't particularly like it when I hear adults doing it either. It all depends on the situation and your audience.

For the most part it's unnecessary and often only highlights ones lack of class/education.

  Wow, then you don't want to come to my blog. I'd hate for you to see how little class/education I have!

Personally, it wouldn't bother me were it not for the fact that it'll get them in trouble elsewhere--gotta teach 'em to be strategic about what they say to who early on....

  I agree -- it's funny and maybe even cute at first -- but when they start doing it too much.. It gets a little out of hand.. That's why it's best to nip it in the bud when it first happens!

south park children, those are.

Put chillis in their mouth, or threaten to do so

I don't like hearing kids curse. Small ones anyway. My own kids get to find a corner to sit in and think about it. I have heard my neighbors traing their children in the fine art of cursing and that irritates me a great deal. It's not cute or sweet.

Lol. There were a couple of cantankerous youths loitering near my local shopping precinct yesterday. They couldn't have been older than nine, maybe ten. Anyhow - as I'm walking past with my groceries, one of them turns to me and says, "You wants to score the grass bruv?" It's amazing what high unemployment and a considerable lack of education can do to people, lol.

It's actually a scary problem getting worse, I've seen packs of hooded up 6 year olds going round starting on people, swearing left, right and centre

It's shocking, No decency or shame anywhere with these kids, they are just so disrespectful

The problem seems to be getting worse as well, alot are dropping out of school at a young age or getting expelled due to this kind of behaviour

there seems to be nothing ever done about it either...

  Thing is though, they could be a profitable venture. My proposal was for a chav petting zoo, a place where they can run free while still being fenced off from normal people. We could feed them white cider, cigarettes and pretend stolen electricals. However, my local council doesn't seem to agree with this concept.

Our son yells at us when we say a bad word. Of course, sometimes he thinks words that are perfectly fine are "cusses", but we let him spank our butts anyway. It's only fair - we spank him if he knowingly curses against our wishes, and we let him do the same to us to help instill a sense that it's wrong for anyone to do it, not just him.

  I applaud you for that Kdawg set an example and punishments not just for the kids but parents as well. Reminds me of the time... (ooops this sounds like its gonna be a long story so I'll just cut it) But this is what it should be too I think.

The kids have let little words slip on very rare occasions, but they all have had an age where they tested mom and dad to see how far they could push us with it. I just catch them as soon as it's said and make sure they know I strongly disapprove. It's not usually on purpose and they feel badly enough having said it that I don't need to repeat myself or discipline them harshly because of it.

When I was a kid, it was soap in the mouth all the way -- disgusting and not necessary.

  Ahhhh... I grew up with both parents saying all the most ugliest words you can ever hear in my local language and their local dialect. Hearing them say it to each other makes me not like saying it....(but it comes out sometimes when I am very very disgusted or angry)

  whenever I think of soap-in-the-mouth, I think of Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" - the dream scene where he's blind, and his parents ask what caused it.
  
  "It was...soap poisoning!"
  
  "See, I told you not to use LifeBoy!"

My kids have each only slipped once, then they get a toothbrush ladened with soap across their tongues. Even my 20 yr old and 16 yr old do not swear around me or any other adults/elders

But that WAS cute!!!

My dad was a sailor during WWII and when he retired from the military he worked as a bartender. By the time I was 6 I knew every filthy, dirty joke in the book.

I've heard that joke before but it was three boys and the first two boys wanted some "Damn waffles"

The third one said "Well I sure the f*** don't want any damn waffles!"

I admit it - I curse. My two daughters have heard it often and they call me on it each time.

They realize that I'm an adult and am allowed to curse and that they aren't adults and are not allowed to curse.

I hate to hear kids swear, I was in town last week and a woman was effing and blinding at her preteen son because he was running up and down the aisles knocking stuff off the racks and he turned round and said to her "Aw shut the fxxk up woman!"
I was gob smacked but she didn't even blink and just kept up her own tirade.

I don't let my kids curse, but I occasionally slip up and they hear a cuss word from me. I hate to admit it. After the words slip out, I always look at them and say "I can say that but YOU can't." I like to underscore the fact they live in a benevolent dictatorship, not a democracy.

I wouldn't care if they used English words like "bolloks" or "gobsmacked" but I haven't taken the time to teach them those...

  ahh, see, i read loads of brit books as a child and quickly learned that i didn't get in trouble for saying bloody this or bollocks.
  
  "feck" however, was just too close.
  
  (i occasionally got in trouble for "geez" as it was obviously short for "Jesus" - until my parents yelled at me for that, it was just a nonsense word which didn't stand for anything in my mind.)

I told my son when he was 6 and testing me he could cuss as much as wants , but only down the toilet with the bathroom door shut. I could hear him shouting down the loo, but after 5 mins the novelty wore off. Also he couldn't be bothered to rush off to the bathroom just to use one cuss word.

I know a seven year old that comes out with the most unbelievably foul and disgusting language I've heard from a human being of any age... whilst his parents look on and laugh.

In that case it's so ridiculous, the only thing you can do is laugh.

I try very hard to discipline my son, but it's hard not to laugh when I send him upstairs on a time-out and he slams the door and you hear him through the door yelling 'daddy i don't like you bitch-ass'

Sometimes when we see things like this in a joke and it is funny because it shows a degree of innocence but when it becomes a reality and not a joke it shows a degree of ignorance. There is a degree of disrespect when done around older people.

There is indeed a time and place for everything even if it's cussing. The enjoyment of a good joke is always nice though, it helps you breath better.

Need to breath a little?

This will have you inhaling and exhaling!

I don't care! What does it matter really? So you think they sound uneducated? By not swearing grants you a higher IQ? Both my kids have used a swear word or two. I ignore them, they stop swearing. They didn't get what they wanted from it. And honestly it's only offensive because you allow it to offend you.

  F yeah! Now that is logic that takes a big smelly dump on any retort. It is true- if one allows themselves to be offended, than the offender has won.
  
  Shit. Piss. Crap. Cock.
