I didn’t think that much about this curse word until Blisstree asked me to write about how lousy it feels to swear in front of your progeny. Which got me worrying: “Why hadn’t it bothered me more? Is cursing worse than just yelling? Don’t other parents accidentally tell their kids to F*@# off? I started to canvass my like-minded parent friends, assuming I’d hear stories and assurances that would make me feel better about working blue around my kids.

However, the initial laughs will quiet down once your kid begins to tell others the swear word she learned from mommy. At that point, you’ll feel like the lousiest parent on earth. So how do you prevent or stop your kids from cursing? Watch Your (Potty) Mouth It may be asking a lot, but avoid using foul language in front of your children as much as possible. Youngsters absorb new words like a sponge – especially ones spoken with a lot of emotion. Avoid the Wrong Crowd In an article on NPR.org, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker explains why you should monitor who your kids hang out with on a daily basis.

She has been in the second stage of labour for nearly an hour. She declined an epidural and has had a lot of pain. She is very tired, and becoming emotional. The baby's head is not coming down. She is being managed by John, an experienced consultant obstetrician, who she knows well. John thinks he has a good relationship with Anne. He delivered her first baby. He advises Anne that he needs to assist the delivery by using forceps. With her consent, he gives her a pudendal block and puts the forceps on the baby's head.
