To ask people to stop swearing so much

[user1497264327]

Frankly, the language of some of the posters on this site is disgusting and I wonder if they talk like this in front of their children. I also wonder if their parents would be proud of how they post on the internet. Swearing every time isn't big and it isn't clever. It makes people come across as uneducated chavs.

AIBU to ask people to clean up their act and stop swearing?

oooh fucksocks..... i like that one!
i love that we can swear, ive learnt swear word i never knew existed

Take your judgypants and fuck off love

Oh for fucks sake...

Hmm I don't swear in front of my DD (sometimes by accident - road rage usually 😒 ) but I do swear and I'm pretty sure I've sworn on here a fair bit, although I'm not in the habit of counting my profanities 😐 so can't give you an exact figure.

OP, just because it's MUMSnet, it doesn't mean that we only discuss child friendly, censored, mum related issues (sometimes we do) and it doesn't mean if you swear like a trooper on here, or in front of your friends, that you swear in front of or at your dc!

To sum up, get a grip. If you don't like how some people talk on here, just ignore and maybe don't arrange any meet ups with them. Oh and steer clear from the Sweary Threads

Ha, I thought this was going to be one of those ridiculously goady thread titles that you click on only to have the OP ask you to give blood or something.

Be kind to the op, every time a mumsnetter swears a fairy loses her wings

Seriously?

I don't swear often, and don't actually do it on here that much, but if I do swear it's usually because I'm really fucking angry, so I need to let it all out.

It doesn't bother me at all if people swear on here, I assume they're like me and don't go around in their day to day lives swearing at everyone they meet. Or maybe they do.

Bwahahahaha!

Nethuns is that way, twat ---->

Fuck no!
Sometimes a swear word is needed to be able to stress a fucking point properly.

So no. Fuck off

We are all adults, I do not see what your problem is.

SootSprite, I read that as Netnuns

Well I don't have any children so no need to clutch your pearls over what they might be hearing, and I'm not in contact with my parents very much so they don't have to be subjected to my potty mouth either. We're all adults on here so lets unclench

Teacher here, first class honours, masters, en route to PhD blah blah.

Fucking love a good swear.

Obviously not in front of pupils and DS.

We've been here before.

To save you time, OP, everyone's going to tell you to fuck off.

Well, you all appear to be supporting the OP's point.

I like swearing.
Like others on here I can't swear at work.
I don't swear in the street or in front of other people's kids.

I need to swear sometimes so I will do it where appropriate.
This is an appropriate place.

Fuck bastard wanking cunty shite bollocks.

I don't swear in front of my children. I swear in RL just not in front of them. Whoever says they never ever swear is a fucking liar!

On here I swear more on here though.

Netnuns 😂😂

I swear a lot in my head when I'm out and about. Sometimes it isn't appropriate to say out loud

You do know this is MUMsnet, not Childnet, don't you OP? I find a good swear very therapeutic. I love the fact that we can swear here should we wish to. Don't like it? Don't read the threads then.

I have an MA in English, and love the language and the words it comprises, and love to make use of them. Just as I might use the words loquacious or moribund, sometimes I might call someone a cunt. Language is rich and varied and it's far more uneducated to not use a broad spectrum of it.

I don't swear in front of my child, because sometimes feeling the need for an expletive does not render me devoid of the ability to define context.

Now do fuck off, dear!

Fuck off dick cheese!

Like someone else said upthread you lost the moral high ground when you used the word 'chavs'.

I don't swear much either on here or in real life, but I don't care what others do. Each to their own.

Pannnn - do you and the OP remember that other members are not YOUR children?

I'm afraid somethings warrant the odd profanity OP.
Live and let live.

Have you thought of a name change
