I really need to cut back!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-332227 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 16:05:34 +0000 sarac 332227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, it's really hard. I swear a lot, and I'm really comfortable with the image that the language I use conveys. But I recognize that my toddler won't be quite as familiar with the nuance of language usage, so I'm trying to just stop. It felt really confining at first, and I haven't been able to stop when I'm surprised or hurt. My toddler is getting really verbal, so I'm kind of stressing about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331961 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:38:46 +0000 blackbird 331961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear, and so did my parents. They said damn, crap, shit...these were words that I knew were for adults, though. I do need to limit the f word. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331886 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 14:09:21 +0000 mediagirl 331886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldilocks1107: I asked my husband if he would do a swear jar this weekend and he said if he did that, he would have no money left to play with! Uh...that's the point....haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331859 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:56:13 +0000 Goldilocks1107 331859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily LO is only 4.5 months old. But both DH and I need to work on our language. We've joked about funding her college with a swear jar. I'm sure DH would need to throw $20 in there to cover a football game. But yeah, we're both going to try working on censoring ourselves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331814 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:32:05 +0000 heffalump 331814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We rarely swear, but still sometimes it does slip out. More with DH than me in front of LO..... he always apologizes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331804 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:27:46 +0000 autumnlove 331804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both swear but we try not to around around LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331756 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 13:06:17 +0000 MrsTiz 331756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah we both are potty mouths. DH gets mad at things sometimes and puts "earmuffs" on the dog when he cusses, which is freaking adorable haha</p> <p>I figure we've got 6.5months until a baby is here, and then another year until they start talking ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331712 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:41:03 +0000 MediaNaranja 331712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke myself of my swearing habit a while ago. I swear a lot in my own head, but the things that come out of my mouth are much less harmless.</p> <p>DH has a potty mouth though....omg....but it's in Spanish so it seems less bad to me. Sometimes he will swear in English and I give him a death stare so he's knows not to do that. I'd rather any LOs not pick it up though, no matter the language. I guess we'll work on it once we get there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331709 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 12:37:11 +0000 oahujeni 331709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: We do too!

Maybe we'll make it our joint new year's resolution with a swear jar going to the college fund or something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331532 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 11:01:32 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 331532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I broke my swearing habit a long time ago. My husband doesn't cuss at home, but he says he does at work. The only people we'll have to worry about our LOs picking up cuss words from is their uncles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331523 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:57:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 331523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't swear in our house, ever! </p> <p>Actually I take that back. Sometimes when I drop things I say the S word. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331520 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:55:36 +0000 Arden 331520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I make up curse words. So I think I'm pretty harmless. If my kids are repeating "Holy macaroni" and "Shitake!" and "Fuzzibuns!"... I don't think we'll be in much trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331512 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:51:31 +0000 wheres_c 331512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neither of us really swear much so not too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331508 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:47:20 +0000 jennylynn 331508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both swear, but he's definitely worse. I've been making an effort to watch my language, and I remind him frequently to do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331499 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:44:01 +0000 chopsuey 331499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't swear a lot anymore. We do drop S and F bombs once in a while. Trying not to curse since Lo copies everything we do and say now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331497 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:43:26 +0000 mrsjyw 331497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both swear. And we're trying to cut down now before LO is here! :X </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331495 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:42:37 +0000 leelee 331495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped swearing in high school because I didn't want my little brother to pick it up. DH swears at work but rarely does at home since I don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331473 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:29:14 +0000 Bookish 331473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I'm so bad about cussing around kids 0_0. I don't even think about it, and I know DH and I need to realllly work on it when we have an LO. We have filthy mouths!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331472 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 10:29:14 +0000 tororojo 331472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is coming in Feb and I reeeally need to work on this. I don't swear a TON or anything, but it happens fairly often. I don't want a swearing baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331396 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:46:56 +0000 CATWOMAN 331396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let a F bomb slip out every now &amp; again... I do feel guilty, I don't want my LO to curse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331394 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:45:45 +0000 Alivoo01 331394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg! I work with ALL males and they curse like sailors so I've picked it up. The hubby is also horrible about it. I'm pretty mindful when I'm around children, but sans kiddos - yikes! It's definitely something we'll need to work on when we have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331391 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:44:33 +0000 mrbee 331391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say things like "Darn" and "Mother forgetter" a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331389 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:43:53 +0000 BananaPancakes 331389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both swear pretty regularly, but I'm really good at hearing what I'm saying before I speak in any situation. So it's not hard for me to watch what I say. My husband, on the other hand, is the king of speaking before thinking, so I just constantly keep on him. We basically have an unspoken thing where I just grab his arm when he needs to watch his mouth. Or I say "children, honey," and he gets the hint. It's hard, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331382 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:40:40 +0000 pelikila 331382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm, my son repeated "sh$t" the other day so I am definitely on lockdown with my use of bad language. My husband never swears so I am the culprit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-or-your-so-swear-a-lot-how-do-you-deal-with-it#post-331370 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 09:36:06 +0000 mediagirl 331370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you had to work on your swearing since your lo was born? How do you stop this bad habit before the lo starts to understand and repeat? </p>
