I also suspect detectives absence may be the number one factor in lack of sweariness. I can't believe that 2 out of 10 most active threads began November 2012. And 2 out of 10 most active posters are some of our quiche...[proud emoticon]
Got very cross at dh earlier (fish has been used, thanks cat and vq so now less cross). I asked if he could get F ready for bed, at the very least put a clean nappy on her and bring her stuff down. I said the nappies are next to her wardrobe, her bed stuff is on the changing unit. He went off upstairs, F was crying, as she does at this time of night because she's tired & hungry. After trying to calm her down for no more than 30 seconds, he shouts "won't you just shut up" at her then starts swearing at the inside of the wardrobe and yelling downstairs "where are the fucking nappies?" etc etc. I stomped upstairs and did the lot myself and sent him to the naughty step downstairs to finish the washing up. He's tired, I get that not as tired as me and she doesn't settle easily for him, but there was no need for him to speak like that. It made me so prickly and cross. We've had a chat now he's had the wet fish slap and I've said that at the weekend, I will feed her and then I'm going out for 2 hours and he will have to deal with things. He has to learn to settle her when she's upset, and change her clothes (something he's avoided for reasons unknown) and entertain her. Not sure what I'll do for 2 hours have a meltdown at being away for that long but it needs to happen. Rant over. As you were
