Apologies for language but it's driving me insane. We have two small DC's and my husband, who always cursed like a navi, is getting worse. He can't say one sentence without using the above, not ONE SENTENCE.
He realises it's wrong and he says sorry when I correct him, he says he'll try cut it out in front of the kids.

I'm not against cursing at all, I love a good curse word myself but not all the time, everytime. They're special occasion words! My feeling is if he can sit in a two hour metting with asking his boss if he wants fucking coffee then he can do it at home!

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

swear jar? £1 a pop - and make him stick to it

if he cant act like an adult and set a good example, then treat him like a teenager and take control

AnyFucker · 11/05/2010 19:52

that is very disappointing

"special occasion words"?

daisyj · 11/05/2010 20:03

at special-occasion words (and at AnyFucker). Does he really want his children to say 'fuck' at the drop of a hat? Definitely £1 a pop, and with the money you and DCs will have a lovely day out... without your DH. That should do it.

Agree with only wants one. Don't understand why he can't 'not do it' in front of kids...

However, something happens to me at about 10pm, when I've been verbalising like Julie Andrews all day, when I can't stop fucking swearing. But obviously, this is when I am not at work, or with the DS.

He needs to think about what is important to him because he's clearly not prioritising your DCs. What would he say if one of them used his language?

I swear - at home, etc, but never when my DD (or other people's children) are around - and only when (if ever ) i think it is appropriate.

I dont swear, for example - if in a meeting, but would quite happily chat on phone to my friend and tell them my boss is a fucking muppet.

Perhaps your DH needs reminding / reeducating to when it is appropriate to use his potty mouth.

I suppose doing it yourself (when the kids are in bed) would be too childish . What else would make him aware? erm, elastic band round the wrist which you twang every time he swears?

I think some people, well - they fucking use it in every fucking sentence and they don't even realise they're fucking doing it, it's just fucking conversation to them.

It's hard to get them to stop because they often don't even realise they're doing it!

He probably dosen't realise hes saying it half the time
my dh was like this, and he said I could fucking slap him the next time he cursed
so I slapped him and he said only when I curse,
me you just did,
he honestly hadn't realised he said it,
It made him more aware and he dosen't curse half as much now
