10. No. Publicly cussing is a terrible idea
Mon Oct 5, 2020, 09:51 PM
Oct 2020

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.
