And I love to cuss, specifically because it is healthy, but there’s a time and a place and an age where it is permissible. I brought up my son and acquired my nephew when he was 12 or 13. It was a challenge from the beginning because he cussed a lot. The reason he cussed a lot was because his vocabulary was so limited that his go to words when he was trying to express himself were cuss words. It was NOT easy, because I chose to be patient about it and not punitive, but it worked.

The reason I think it’s not a good idea is because it will stunt their use of other words and it will stunt their ability to express their thoughts.

I like to reserve my best swear words for special occasions, they have more impact that way. Swearing too much can become a bad habit. Pretty soon, it replaces a lot of more appropriate and effective words.

I've been around some people who swear all the time and it ends up bringing other people down. Meanwhile, I live in an in-law apartment and I spend a lot of time with my five year old grandsons. I am very careful what I say around them and I don't want them to pick up any inappropriate words from the TV. If the news is on when they come in, I quickly hit pause or turn it off.

Of course, most of my swearing these days is at the TV!!!

thats probably why he is so pissed, because CNN let the the Don the Con reality show play them for a free campaign spot.

It's a miserable, deadly thing, not to be made into some reality show stunt. People suffer and die.

And I think he actually cares for people. How novel!
