Would this make you uncomfortable?

[PastaAllThePasta]

It's the way a person I know speaks to or around their child.

They are a good parent in the sense that I have absolutely no concerns about neglect or anything like that. Said child is looked after and happy.

But the way they talk to and infront of them makes me so uncomfortable.

They will swear constantly whether or not they are in the room. I know some parents maybe aren't as fussed about swearing so perhaps I am being unreasonable but they have no filter at all. It's all fuck this, shit that, X person is a cunt etc... they will also say things like 'oi mong, have you brushed your teeth yet' and other things similar (tard etc...)

It makes me internally cringe and I don't know whether it's just not my business. Would you just keep your mouth shut?

That's really disgusting. Is this a member of your family?

That’s not pleasant at all. However some people’s vernacular is very different, is that the way your friend was brought up? They maybe know no different .

No they weren't brought up like that. Their parents never swore at all to my knowledge.

Tbh I don't care about swearing generally, I do it. (Never would say mong or anything though of course) but I'd never do it in front of a child unless maybe when I've stubbed a toe and accidentally said shit!

It is family yes. Its not immediate family but I see them quite often one to one (and their child) as we are the same age.

We have a family like that on our road. That is one of the reasons we didn't let our children out to play on the road, though their DD was welcome to play in our garden. The DS, at about age 7, told me to F*ck Off once, he didn't lick that behaviour off a stone.

It's strange actually because they are actually really polite and well mannered. I've never heard any such thing come out of their mouth despite what they hear.

Sorry the child that is ^^

I can't stand swearing in front of children. I swear at other times but when you have children it's easy to learn to not do it around them. Children ask all the time what words mean. Imagine a child saying "Mummy, what does fuck mean?" Swearing in front of children is bad enough, but the other words you've mentioned are disgraceful.

Have you been around her and her parents at the same time? As you say she didn't grow up in a similar environment, I wonder what her parents make of her speaking like that around her children. Or maybe she doesn't do it around them? I just wonder if they have said anything to her about it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much you can do about it. Unless you have children yourself, in which case I would ask her not to swear in front of your children.

At least the child seems to know that it's language they shouldn't be using.

How old are the dc?

For myself, I couldn't care less? They're just words, and children need to learn all the words. I don't understand why people mind so much if children swear. It's not as if the child is harmed so no, I wouldn't say anything

On the other hand, why not just speak your mind? Might lead to a good conversation.

Purple, they are 5.
