Where did you learn that?

[tempermentalanomaly@lemmy.world]

My two rules for my kiddo:

1. Use it correctly.
2. Don't get me in trouble.

[atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yup, the more you tell them not to say those words, the more they'll use them anyway.

[brsrklf@jlai.lu]

I am bestowing the word of power upon you.

Use it responsibly.

[fckreddit@lemmy.ml]

I hope not.

[demdaru@lemmy.world]

Damn that bonus tho xD

[shmandom@feddit.uk]

That bonus panel is gold 🤌

[jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works]

Our rule is similar. "If you don't know how or when it's appropriate to use a word then you shouldn't be using it."

Profanity is just words. Using them properly doesn't make you look cool. Using them improperly does make you look like an idiot.

Too bad bonus panel doesn't load for me.

Yup we teach our kids not to use "grownup words" and that they can use "grownup words" when they're grownups and can make the grownup decision of when and when not to swear. Because ultimately that both meets societies expectations related to swear words while fostering a healthy relationship with language.

Bingo. I will say my mum absolutely hates how liberal I am with swears in my house and around my kids. "It's not how I raised you"

I repeatedly tell her we all swear. I can't put the genie back in the bottle. What I can do is provide my kids a safe space and teach them how to understand context around swearing and when it's acceptable.

Same. I even tried opening the page in Firefox

Last panel was unexpected. Well done.

"Bitch was dishin' out F's long before I was..."

Your mom needs to be introduced to George Carlin, starting with his classic Class Clown album. The section leading up to and including the Seven Words You Can't Say on TV particularly addresses how words themselves are just a collection of meaningless syllables without the intent ascribed to them.

Never had children, but I imagine this is me parenting.

[froh42@lemmy.world]

When I was 13 I was the one who knew the most of dirty jokes in ny class. I had learned them from my dad.

[ultraviolet@lemmy.world]

It's all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can't let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.

[mpony@lemmy.world]

Dads are the best
