Yes yes I know. Everyone on here says fuck sometimes.
But I do it in real life. And I have kids. And I don't want them to swear.
Honestly, it's my only vent. Don't drink, can't go for a fag, etc.
It just comes out and I hate it. But I get so stressed. But other people manage not to swear.
My parents, as much as they had faults, never swore, not even my dad. Sod was the worst I heard as a kid.
I don't know. I started as a teenager and struggle not to do it. I have a professional job, we all swear.
I hate it. Please help me to stop.

I have sen kids. They ds2 learned lots of lovely swear words in his reception yr and then shared them with his older and younger brother. After a yr ot so of hand wringing, iv now decided there are worse things in life than swearing (I may just be immune lol)

Cast your mind back to Bridget Jones’ sweary friend, I really would like to offer some assistance, but honestly I’d be no fucking use ! Grin

Although my dad was a civil engineer he worked as a labourer when he was training and on a lot of building sites all through his career. He swore like a trooper as do I and my sisters. Love it, as long as you know when not to, I can't see the harm and we can be very creative. I really don't think it sounds uneducated at all if done properly

I swear a lot. Probably too much if there is such a thing. Dh doesn't swear at all, kids haven't picked it up so far.
I can't get worked up about it there's worse I could be doing
