Do You Curse at Your Kids?

I've seen parents do it and have often wondered why? This seems very wrong to me. Children deserve the same respect you expect from them. So why curse at them? Your the parent you need to set the standards.

If your child curses you out how do you respond to them if you've cursed at them in the past?

I've never done this but my ex did and it was kinda funny when our daughter threw some very choice words back at her. Daughter got angry at mom and just let them fly. Mom asked her "where you learn to talk like that?" Childs response, "I learned it from you!" How do you respond to that? I had to step in and quiet things down.

Just curious about how other parents think about kids and cursing.

That is a no no for me. I hear people do that all the time and all I can do is :smh:.
 
i don't have children but i do have younger family members and i DEF don't curse in front of them.

i always gave the :hmm: face to my cuzzin who thought it was cute when her son cursed until he cursed AT her.

there are certain things ppl do around/have kids do that I personally wont do...for instance

one day i got in trouble for telling a lie to my mom when i was lil so she called my dad and told him...he was like imma talk to her about lying but you know u taught her that...my mom was like EXCUSE ME...he was like yeah everytime someone calls and u tell her to tell them ur not home or busy, your teaching her it is ok to lie. my mom hung up the phone but she stopped askin me to do that after that conversation.

yeah that was random....so what:hmm:

Your right! Kids develop many their habits and even their personality traits by observing how we act and by what we do. We are their role models. If we set poor examples for them we can expect them to have problems in the future.
 
Ol' Dirty Bastard: Brooklyn Zoo II -
"I just want all y'all to know
The reason why I curse is because my momma and my daddy
They grew up cursin"

i try not to cuss around my 2yr old baby girl but my 14yr old baby girl, if she fucks up i will get on her but it has to be something serious for me to cuss though.
 
When she was young, no....She is 18 now...When she fucks up...she get told that she is fucking up.

Interesting...

Do you really believe cursing at a child 18 actually enhances what your trying to convey? Enforces the fact your angry? I'm asking because I don't believe it does, not with today's kids.

Example: With the lyrics in today's rap music kids today hear more cursing than we ever did during all our years of growing up. I don't believe cursing today carries any increased impact with children today at any age.
 
how is your child suppose to become a productive part of society if you are yelling and cursing at them every second of the day. you're not shit you're stupid you're an idiot. When i had a job in retail i use to see that shit all the time and it would piss me off. My mother still doesn't allow me to call my brother stupid. :smh::smh::smh:

Exactly my point speaking to a child like that only lowers their self-esteem and fills their heads with doubt. It's the worse form a parenting imaginable especially for black children. Yet some of us engage in this practice.
 
Cursing at your children, regardless if it's in anger or a matter of simply expressing yourself, is basically telling them it's OK to curse.

Same here. my daughters have never heard me curse. i've never even
screamed at them. there mother however is worse than a sailor. my
daugthers now curse too, but not around me they know better than that.


on the flipstyle my ex's crass, don't care and boisterous style was the
reason i was attracted to her. i was 18 then though lol. she is older than
me.

I think women do it because they feel they have to prove they're angry and in charge. A means to reinforce who they are but the kids already know this so what's the sense.

ehhhhh or that is how they were raised.


my mom cursed, my dad didn't....my father was raised a lot more strictly than my mother.

i curse ever so often but i can live and speak forever without doing it. i can show my anger and display my status w/out words and w/ actions more so than words.


on a side note...referrin to your child as a lil nigga ... wtf :hmm:
 
No cursing them. No hitting them. Period. If we try hard enough, we can use our brains to figure out how to discipline our kids and help them learn to be successful.

In some cases I'm sure that is the case with some but just because grew up but it still doesn't make it right. I'm sure it wasn't a good feeling being cursed at by mom or pop. I was never cursed at by either of my parents. They used more violent means of enforcing their will. :lol:
 
I wanted to come up in here and say Hell yeah! And beat their asses left & right with whatever I can get my hands on and here is the number to LA DCFS (800) 540-4000 too... CALL THEM...
But that would be a lie... However, the number is correct... I use to keep all of their PC's and network working.
I feel ya... Who is the Adult? Therefore, it is the Adult that should use their head and not a foul mouth.
:cool:
