I think you have to start early because it takes so long to `undo` a habit. So while you`re slipping up (which WILL happen), it is best if you`re the one that notices and your LO isn`t.

we dont really listen to any vulgar music or swear (sometimes SO will let something slip out) and I catch him playing shooting games on the Xbox with Gidjet sitting on the couch beside him with a controller in her hands (which I DO NOT like at all, but he stops if I ask him to) My younger sister swears quite a bit though, and I get mad at her everytime she does around her too.

The swearing has been hard to stop. My most colorful adjectives are swear words. I was 32 when my child was born so I`m a little set in my ways. The artful drop of an `f` bomb into an adult conversation can be very effective and sometimes quite funny. Ah but, alas I can`t have my toddler asking for an f-ing cookie. So, I have been on my best behavior. I would say the worst offense from me would be getting SUCKED into Maury and watching people throw chairs at each other. I have only on occassion done this and when I saw my son staring at the screen, I quickly switched it to Noggin (in shame). At 8 months though...well, you gotta a little time to curb those habits...best to start now though!

The swearing bit- I have never been big on swearing because I also think it is unattractive, unintelligent, etc. I don`t have a problem with swearing if that is how you want to portray yourself (in reality, dang, shoot, etc. are just substitutes for swear words and although maybe not `offensive` mean the same thing and are just as unattractive and unintelligent). I still don`t know how I feel about cesoring movies, music, etc. I will protect my daughter at a young age, but I think cloistering your children is even more harmful. I want my daughter to know what is out there and to make the right decisions. This is all my opinion- just wanted to hear others!

It appauls me the number of kids and young adults who swear nowadays, I didnt need my baby to stop me. I just didnt do it cause it isnt necessary or attractive. My neice swears alot and I think she thinks it makes her attractive or cool and it sickens me. Do I swear, yes but it is rare and only if I am really stressed and mad but never near my kids. As far as music and TV that is also monitored somewhat. Really depends on what it is, what the music is or words are.

I used to curse ALL of the time.. trying to curb it while pregnant because my husband gets upset because he doesn`t want the baby around it. Which I understand and agree with.. just a hard habit to break!
