Potty Mouth
If we ever decide to have kids, adopt kids, grow kids in a Petri dish...whatever...which could happen sometime in the next 50 years...they're going to have the WORST potty mouths! I can't drive a mile down the road without calling some idiot a motherf*cker...and that's tame compared to some of the words that come out...I don't want to offend anyone here so I won't repeat those. Can you imagine if I had kids in the back seat...even if they're not facing forward, they can still hear me.
Everyone says that you're more careful what you say around kids...I know you all mean well, but I'm sorry...if someone cuts me off in traffic...they're motherf*ckers and everyone in my car needs to hear about it. SOMETIMES...the window is open and others hear about it. That's when things get crazy.

Oh my god Jeff, can I just share that fear of yours, lol!!!!!!! I'm just shaking my head right now because this is an issue and it's out there, it may be a year or 10 years away, but it's out there, in front of us and we (Jay and I) will need to face it sooner or later. Jay has THE worst temper behind the wheel. Or maybe I should say the patience of a gnat, whichever it is. And those ugly words come flying out of his mouth like pretty poetry... I can't begin to tell you how many times I've said to him "now what if little Nathalie was in the back seat, how would you explain to her what a f%$?^$?%^%$^ C$%$^?%&?% from H>#$>@ is?"
This is a tough one. If you find a solution, please email it to us. Best luck!

Ahhhh.... Jeff my friend... let me offer you some words of wisdom from a grizzeled parenting veteran (who has been known to make a sailor blush). Contrary to anything I've been advised by "professionals", I just let em fly! My theory being, if the kids are going to learn it anyway on the street they might as well learn to use it correctly first from their parents!
Imagine my elation the first time I heard my then 2 year old daughter drop something in the back seat of my moms car. Without pause that adorable little cherub muttered 'SH#T!" much to the chagrin of my mother! Or better yet... later that very summer when the same doll faced little cherub was sitting on Daddys lap watching the baseball game when at a critical "guy" moment my husband stopped himself just short of the F-word (he did have the little dumplin to think about!) only to have her pigtailed little head look up at him and say "Oh Daddy... go ahead say what the f#ck"!!!
In both of these cases that very small child spat back those words in proper context! How could I be upset!! I mean... WTF??? :o)
So... in conclusion I would like to give all you 'would be parents' some advice... learn early... if you say it .. they will... so make sure you use it right! Should the child use profanity in a situation that makes an entire crowd of mommies look at you with horror on their faces simply do what I do... blush subtly and say "I'm so sorry... she/he has tourettes"!!! That's shuts those whiney assed yuppie chicks up every time!!!
Happy F'n Parenting!

Ha ha ha! My kids are always getting into trouble for repeating things that Mommy has said. Even my youngest will occasionally ask me, "Is that a jack ass car, Mom?" When the older two call other students "little shits" and other choice names it isn't so bad. They attend a public school. But because there are no public pre-schools here Ashley goes to Parkland Lutheran School. Her teacher doesn't cope well with such deviancy as saying "shit, damn, or even the big f#@$" when apple juice is spilled. I've given up trying to tell them all not to say these bad words. Now I just tell them to only say them at home. But on the upside, other kids come to my girls to ask what some of these words mean. Knowledge is power!
The power of the potty mouth. Funny that this topic received the best response so far!
