Do you swear around your PIL?

[Somerville]

Or should that say, do you fucking well swear in front of your PIL?
It struck me recently that DH never swears around my parents. Even though they’re Irish and happen to swear rather a lot - especially my mother. And then he told me off for swearing in conversation with FIL. (It was a conversation about Brexit - how can one bloody not swear?!)

We agree on swearing around kids (not okay) and at work (okay with colleagues in our workplaces but not around clients) but not on this one.

If you don’t, then I only get it if they’re vicars or something. (Though I know some sweary clergy TBH.) But why should some people being a generation older and progenitors of your spouse mean you shouldn’t talk like you might around other adults??

God yes.

I spend waaay too much time with FIL. We see the best and worst of each other and the worst(or best?) of me swears like a drunk sailor on leave. There is no censoring there. Even in front of DH's 95 year old grandma. She's an old rich, upper class posh woman who loves a well placed fuck or cunt. One of my favorite things about her.

My MIL was the first person I met who regularly uses the c word in day to day convo

Not usually, I guess, because MIL once swore in front of me, and literally clasped her mouth at the horror of having sworn in front of me, and told DH and BIL she couldn't believe she said that in front of Badly. I did some solidarity swearing right there and then, and she seemed quite shocked, which was quite funny really...

No, but I don't swear in front of my parents either. Only with friends.

My own DP doesn't swear in front of my MIL 😅 but I do. I try to lessen it though, as her family members tend to not swear.
In my family everyone swears and it's not a big deal. She doesn't mind swearing in front of my DM

I don't tend to swear in every day verbal conversations to anyone, usually only when venting to friends. I don't even swear with dh as too used to ds being around. So no I wouldn't randomly swear with any of my in-laws and would not be happy if dh did either. All comes down to respect (for yourself and them) in my opinion.

No, because they are very snobby arseholes! As in, look down on my £10 hand mixer from Argos as it’s not a £600 kitchenaid

Not the 'big' swear words. Mind you, BIL2 swears every other word (also peppered with racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic & misanthropic language) so I think the rest of us temper what we say to make up for it

I don't swear in front of them or my own parents/grandparents/aunts and uncles etc. I'm potty mouthed in front of my DH and friends/colleagues etc. My DH always asks how the hell I manage to bit my tongue swearing in front of the others lol. I don't know why I don't, I guess I was always brought up to not swear so I never do it with elders lol. My siblings all swear in front of mum and dad though x

No because my husband is scared of them - not violence but hugely disapproving of anything done differently to the way they would have done it - so I hold my tongue for him really because there's only so many "sort your wife out" lectures he can deal with. He obviously never would "sort me ought" but he's still conditioned to sit there and listen to it without so much as a peep. It makes me really sad because he feels that he can't be himself around them (not swearing just other things). They have no idea who he is because he hides it and he's a good person, with a great sense of humour and incredibly kind. They're just so judgy.
