To ask how you handle being on public transport/shops/places where people are loudly swearing around your newly speaking toddler?

I can't really leave this bus as I need to be somewhere and it's becoming more and more common that I wouldn't be able to leave places where this happens but I don't want toddler turning air blue and don't know if/how I should confront behaviour or tackle it later with tot?

Contrary to most on here I have challenged foul language in public. I can swear like a navvy but there's a time and a place for effing and blinding and I think we should pull people up on their language when it's inappropriate.

In the queue at the GP surgery to collect a prescription - it was very busy, yes it was frustrating to have to wait. But the bloke in front of me was getting increasingly loud with his "fucking hells" and his "what's their fucking problems" . So I politely said tone it down a bit mate, not everyone wants to hear that sort of language. He did humph and grunt a bit but he did stop swearing.
