    Also the notion that children aren’t allowed to do certain things that adults frequently do in front of them somehow magically doesn’t apply to curse words.

    Kids can’t smoke, drink, drive cars, change light bulbs, use the stove and oven… But no one ever says adults aren’t allowed to cook in front of the kids because kids might get the wrong idea. They tell the kids not to use the stove and respond appropriately if the kids do anyway.

      Respond appropriately being teach the kid to cook. I was cooking breakfast and dinner at least once a week by the age of 6-7. I can’t tell you how many girls I’ve dated that has absolutely no clue how to cook. So much wasted money…
