DM swearing in front of my toddler?

AIBU here...
DM and I have always been very, very close. She's quite spiritual and 'free' (her words!)
I don't have a lot of boundaries but I really don't like swearing in front of my 2 year old, she's never really done it before, but now when she's coming round to my house, she keeps swearing at things! When I say something she just laughs it off like it's not a big deal. I lost my shit the other day and shouted loud at her when she'd say 'for fucks sake', and she got back to me later that day asking if I have any other stress/frustration going on because it's never necessary to shout like that over a swear word??
AIBU here????

I wouldn't let my 2 year old be around anyone who swore like that. And she can't be "free" and not let you have your own opinions - that's not how it works!

I don't think screaming at your I'm, especially in front of your DD is the answer but YADNBU for not wanting swearing in front of DD. I don't think swear words are the worst thing in the world but still far from ideal around kids. I would lay down the law in advance in no uncertain terms.

Yanbu. Two year olds love new words and pick up on them quickly.
Surely your dm doesn't want your 2 year old coming out with "for fuck s sake" at nursery or playgroup?
