I remember one time I actually had to keep a bar of soap in my mouth for what seemed like an eternity! Never worked cause I kept swearing :P<br /> The novelty wore off as I got older.</p> <p>My dad works a blue-collar construction job and is swearing all the time; so I picked it up again in high school and now it's a real problem. I'm trying to curb it because of DS but it's SO hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-399174 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:42:36 +0000 Meridian 399174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way!! My mom would get mad if I said the word "HECK", as in "what the heck!", and also "darn". </p> <p>I only remember hearing my mom swear once, maybe in my late teens or early 20s, she said "sh*t" while driving! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-399082 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:18:28 +0000 T-Mom 399082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way and as immingrants they didn't even know what those words were, haha. They will be outlawed in my house for sure, and if they ever say one they will be grounded. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-399069 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 11:15:13 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 399069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, definitely not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398998 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:57:43 +0000 PurplePumps 398998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh God no!! I mumbled 'f***' once around the corner cause I was mad at something, and I thought I was gonna get the beat down just from the way my mother said "WHAT DID YOU SAY!?!?!" Nooo swearing in that house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398995 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:57:17 +0000 mediagirl 398995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way! Even crap or hell were bad words in our house! I would get the bar of soap if I swore, it was not an option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398987 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:55:36 +0000 BelugaBean 398987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents never had set rules but I didn't do it around them. I still don't to an extent although I've started cussing less anyway because of LO. DH cussed around his parents but they always said they didn't like that so I never did out of respect to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398980 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:54:23 +0000 wahine08 398980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have any rules about it, but we also never swore in front of our parents. I will admit to having a VERY early potty mouth. Fortunately, I was smart enough to keep it to myself or just my sister when she was being a pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398966 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:51:34 +0000 MrsBrewer 398966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No!! I was never allowed to.....my brother and sister on the other hand.....they swear all the time, and they are only 16! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398953 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:48:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 398953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: We weren't supposed to say fart either, or suck. Definitely no cursing. Neither of my parents really curse to this day. </p> <p>For a while, we weren't even supposed to say IT. My older brother and sister learned what "Do it" means (in the sexual sense) and thought it was hilarious to keep saying it, so my mom banned it. Then little 5 or 6 year old me didn't understand why my brother and sister would yell or tattle, while laughing, that I said Do it. Looking back-- they were such brats! </p> <p>I still don't curse in front of my parents. I should really cut back on it more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398924 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:42:34 +0000 prettylizy 398924@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It wasn't allowed, but when we got older and stubbed our toe or something, a $#!t might slip out without being a big deal </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398918 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:41:32 +0000 Mrsbells 398918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, my parents never use swear words, so neither did we. There was a rule against it, but we just never did </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398915 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:40:45 +0000 Springtime 398915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! I did say "asshole" when I was little and got my washed with soap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398904 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:36:56 +0000 Turd Ferguson 398904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never really swore at all when I was growing up. Once I hit my later years in high school, every now and then I would, and it was never a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398887 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:30:50 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 398887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes. We weren't supposed to, but my parents did all the time. When we were all older, like 16+ my step dad and mom tried to enforce "no swearing in this house" for some reason. They swore all the time, so it never worked lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398878 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:28:21 +0000 mrsmenow 398878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: fart, really? That is too funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398876 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:27:36 +0000 mrsmenow 398876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, not when I was younger and not now. If I let one slip in front of my kids (which doesn't happen too often) I tell them that is a grown up word and they know better than to repeat it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398866 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:26:43 +0000 photojane 398866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>um.. we weren't even allowed to say fart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398862 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:25:22 +0000 ValentineMommy 398862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, never when I was younger. Now I do, and it still feels weird, but every once in awhile it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398860 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:25:08 +0000 .twist. 398860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not allowed for sure. Even now I don't really swear in front of them unless I'm really mad about something, and sometimes if my dad says "Oh shit" in front of me (even now) he's correct himself and say "Oh shoot!" hahaha I find it hilarious because I curse like a sailor! </p> <p>My husband, on the other hand, was allowed to curse and swear and his parents don't have much of a filter either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398847 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:21:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 398847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never. my parents never cussed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398842 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:20:56 +0000 mrbee 398842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never swore in front of my parents!</p> <p>Didn't realize that swearing was an option!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398835 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:19:45 +0000 BabyBear 398835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get yelled at, but nothing was ever enforced. I went to a Catholic school for 12 years so us "good" kids took advantage whenever we could on the playground/outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-allowed-to-cuss#post-398825 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 10:16:42 +0000 autumnlove 398825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had no rules about cussing but it was something I never did around them.
