So I have just been sat on the bus with DD and behind us where a woman and man with 3 young children effing and blinding about some woman. I ended up getting up and moving down the bus as Dd was listening and id rather she didn't repeat any of the choice language.

It's so unfair that we try so hard to protect our children and set a good example and they pick it up from some horrid other person on the bus, I feel sorry for their poor children.

Love swearing. Try not to in front of kids but this can result in the following: me to DP - ' eff you you effing c!'
DP: 'kiss my a hole!'

I never swore until I had children Blush Grin

What monkeyface said. I think hate is a worse word than fuck, actually.

My son is 11 and I'm under no doubt that he swears when in the company of his friends but he's never sworn in front of me. And I swear all the time.

They're just words.

I've noticed that kids who have problems with bad language,

are sworn at rather than sworn around though if that makes sense I do think there is a difference.

I am presuming the title was just badly-worded, and the OP means it in the sense of hating parents' swearing, rather that hating individuals. It's a figure of speech, surely?
