Should Mumsnet forum users be allowed to Swear!

439 replies

cakelover14 · 23/07/2016 18:54

No offence I enjoy reading the discussions on this board but why do mums really feel the need to swear in their posts! What kind of example are we setting as mums if we can't control the use of our tongues and use language that is obscene.

Mumsnet - why is it not your policy to remove swear words from posts? saying we are all adults doesn't excuse the use of foul language! I am sure I cannot be the only mumsnet user who doesn't want to read swear words every five seconds. It makes me close a thread and stop reading what otherwise could be an interesting read.

All I can say is no wonder every time I go the playground with my kids I hear young children using foul language when parents can't even control their tongues anymore! Unfortunately I agree the world is full of people who swear but as mums should we not take the lead in setting a good example for the next generation???

Mumsnet wouldn't be the same without a good old cuntychops.

Spunk trumpet … love it

Keep them coming Wink

My whole identity is not a 'mum'. When I am mumming I do not swear (much), when I am MNing I swear if I fucking like. I am an adult and know what is appropriate for different situations.
Also, I don't use my tongue when I type.

There is a special place for you OP.

LittleMissUpset · 23/07/2016 19:11

I love this site because I can swear if I want too.

I've learnt some of the best ones from here in fact.

There was one I loved I think it was about British gas by Honey but I can't remember it?

I don't swear in front of my kids so love the fact I can here.

There are plenty of sites that don't allow swearing if you don't like it.

Is it wrong that I saw the AIBU board mentioned on another site with a similar name (wasn't very complimentary) and I came to nosy and fucking loved it Grin

BringingYoniBack · 23/07/2016 19:11

I fucking hate swearing bastards.

IHeartTyrion · 23/07/2016 19:11

Oh for fucks sake, they're words, are you one of those terminally offended people?

A good fuck really can accentuate your point!

Cockwomble was my favourite word, this thread has now made me ditch it for cuntweasel 😉😉

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 23/07/2016 19:11

Jesus titty fucking Christ. I am setting an example. How else would my DS know the correct context for cuntnugget, cockwomble, cocklodger and cuntybawflap? Flash cards simply aren't enough - admittedly they help with spelling, but context is everything.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 23/07/2016 19:11

How did you envisage this thread panning out, OP?

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 23/07/2016 19:12

Can you imaging if HQ censored *** posts?

Nothing would make sense and it would take hours to decipher any * thread.

BishopBrennansArse · 23/07/2016 19:12

Fuck yeah.

I'm up for fuckibg swearing fucking all the fucking time.

Like, fuck.

StillSmallVoiceOfCalm · 23/07/2016 19:13

That didn't work. I had loads more bastard in it. Cunts.

hidingwithwine · 23/07/2016 19:13

This again?

I'm a mum. I'm a daughter. I'm a wife. I'm a teacher.....blah blah

I hardly drink, I've never smoked, I've never touched drugs

I do however swear. A lot. Absofuckinglutely my auto correct knows that word Grin

I believe many people are still alive and that I haven't had a stress induced heart attack due to my ability to curse like a sailor.

If you don't like it, you can fuck off to the far side of fuck cba to type the rest

FaFoutis · 23/07/2016 19:13

Re. typing with tongue: I remember a thread where we all typed with our tits. (Is tits swearing?)

DameXanaduBramble · 23/07/2016 19:13

Op has fainted.

PortiaCastis · 23/07/2016 19:13

I'm a Mum but my dds so called Father is a cockknobsyphillis git

What a shame that none of you seem to be able to construct a reply without swearing and been offensive.

This thread didn't fucking disappoint

Being

Being offensive

AloraRyger · 23/07/2016 19:14

If we were on bounty.com it would be, FaFoutis.

I love that MN treats its members like adults and allows swearing.

They're only words.

Trills · 23/07/2016 19:14

You are allowed to swear.

You are also allowed to end questions with an exclamation mark instead of a question mark.

You are even allowed to post on AIBU without actually asking if we are being unreasonable.

I know which of these annoys me more.

fastdaytears · 23/07/2016 19:14

Did you honestly think you'd get a serious response?

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 23/07/2016 19:15

I feel the need to swear because some people are arseholes HTH

WeeScotsEgg · 23/07/2016 19:15

as mums should we not take the lead in setting a good example for the next generation???

I very much doubt children read MN. Pop over fuck off to Netmums if you're not happy here, no-one forces you to read threads FFS.

ABloodyDifficultWoman · 23/07/2016 19:15

Given that this subject crops up with such frequency I rather wonder if the OP is a bit repressed and is actually wanking him/herself into a complete frenzy with every extra swear that is added to the thread.

Can't quite reach the vinegar stroke OP? Here. Let me help.
