  My kids are now 13 and 17. We've cursed in front of them and "allowed" them to curse since they were little. Language is language and words aren't inheriently "bad." The idea that a list of 7 words is some how offensive is asinine. My kids are exceptional students, smart, do all the same activites as other kids. All the other kids curse, too, they just pretend they don't in front of their parents. It's a very silly game.

  > What kind of harm do you think it does for kids to hear this speech? I guess it depends on what you mean by "harm". Hearing it every once in a while, it is certainly unlikely to affect them. But if it's frequent enough (as seems to be the case in the gaming community), it will set a level of normalization that I don't want to instill in my kids. That being said, this is my own personal opinion, and no one else should feel obligated to share it.

    I taught my kids that swearing is contextual. In contexts where they are not supposed to swear, don't. And then I model that. They've always known how to swear, but almost never do.
