MichelleMc(pink!)`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll How would you handle it if someone started using language in front of your child that you didn`t want your child to hear/pick up? If you would say something to the person, what would you say?
(Other poll by MichelleMc(pink!), 958 days ago)
Ask the person politely not to speak that way around my child
Tell the person off for using that kind of language around my child
Not say anything to the person about it, but explain to my child later that it's not okay to use that language
Speak up only if the person is someone who will be around my child on a regular basis. If they will never/rarely be around my child again, I wouldn't say anything
I don't really care if people use bad language around my child; they're going to hear it eventually anyway

I have never altered my language in front of my kids and now I have a 14 and an 11 year old and have only VERY recently ever heard my oldest swear. I always just told them that swearing language was something grown ups did and not children and when they were grown ups they could swear but not until then. I remember my 14 year old asking me at 13 if he could listen to EmNem because it had swears. He still doesn`t really swear around me.

I would remove my child from the situation if possible. i would only say something if it was someone who would be around my dd. I do do foul language around her.

I have done all of the above. I tell my family to hush and watch their language. My brother is the worst i am recently told him off and now refuse to let my kids around him. I tell friends politely to not do that in front of my children (only happened once by accident), and i have explained to my children that just b/c you hear a stranger use those words doesn`t mean it is ok for him to use it.

eh i dont care who it is if they cursed once like it slipped i probably wouldnt say anything.. but if it was like apart of their frequent vocab and be like `theres a child here!!!` and if they insisted on to keep talking like that then i would leave the room/ area they were in

I dont even hang out with groups like that or ppl like that. My Ex has some *intresting* friends who look like a scene right from a trailer park or *gangster* movie. (yuck!) and the way i see some of these kids they have running around there is just a turn off for me. They call themselves by a certain name and smoke and drink every weekend/chance they get. The kids run around and liskten to everything they say and do. Sure they kick around a ball or play with each other but all i can help think of is these kids will grow and become what they see and know and i dont want my children using words like that, or acting like that. These babies wear shirts with this groups name on it and it bugs me so much to think *they are already mini me`s of this group* I dont let my kids go around any one or anything like that. Its all negitive. And i tell my ex that i want them to be surrounded by ppl with positive influences, words, and life styles and nothing short of it. Every mother shouldnt be afraid to stick up for what is right when it comes to their children. <3

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
