Swear Jar

So, my boyfriend and I were on our way to the beach with Dean today and he told me he wanted to stop swearing. For Dean and any other kids we may have (:ninja). We haven't set it up yet, but I think we might do a swear jar. If we had set it up this morning, we would've owed at least $10 to the swear jar (25 cents a cuss). I really only cuss when I'm driving and :emo_love031. :D

Is this difficult for anyone else? To not cuss, I mean.
 
I swear occasionally but my kids know never ever to repeat it. If i hear it come out of their mouths they get pepper on their tongues :D

Yep, I'm sorta feelin' that way. If it comes outta my mouth though, and they repeat it, I'll just tell em not to say it again.

we would get either soap (Mom) or a smack in the mouth (Dad)..choose your swearing carefully...

My mother was the soap queen. She put soap in my mouth even when I said "stupid".
 
Me and the boyfriend swear a fair amount. But I don't swear at all around my mum and dad, so I find it easy enough to turn on and off - hopefully once we have a baby it'll be just as simple!

I'm definitely going to try and get into the habit early on, before they're old enough to understand.
 
I guess they're offensive because of what the word generally means? Like calling someone a cunt is calling them a vagina. I'm not sure why that's offensive but people seem to have a tempestuous relationship with their genitals, so I guess it came from a time when pussy was a terrible, terrible thing. Bastard is an obvious one, you're just questioning someone's heritage :p
