I`m with 13yrsapart, my parents swore in front of us as we were growing up but none of us would ever dare to swear in front of our parents even now lol. DH and i both at time`s have swore in front of your children but never at them. They are now 18, 13 yrs and 14mths. We have never heard them swear and hope never to in the future. Children will here the words from many places and as with many things as long as us, as parents can teach our children right from wrong we surly cannot go too wrong.

Anything he would get in trouble for at school. We do not tolerate verbal bullying in our home so I try to inforce it. Damn, stupid come up often. And of course all of the above That obviousy most if not all of us want our kids to be respectful of others.

My DS is very well mannered and knows which words are right & wrong, so i dont see the need to `Dis-allow`certain words in my home, after all `Freedom of speach` and all that

For us it is stupid, funky or anything like what the ......! That is too close the using the word! I am sure as they get older more words will be added. Thanks for sharing ladies ;-)

I swear in front of my children, however they are raised to know that those are grown up words and when they get older they can use them how they see fit. I feel more comfortable with my kids hearing this from me than some other child at daycare or school and then thinking that it`s ok. Some do not think my way works, but my 13 yr old is the most respectful, well mannered teenager you`ll ever meet! My mother HATES that I talk like this in front of my kids, but I have to remind her that they are my children and I will raise them as I see fit. I feel like if my kids where to see me uncomfortable with something being said, they will not be comfortable talkin to me about it. (like sex or race) I know that this technique is not for everyone, but it works for us. And I`m sure this will spark some comments that I am a terrible person, but that is your right. If you feel that you need to jusdge me, thats ok. I just hope that you have understanding as well!! Take care everyone.

I don`t like my son to use the word mine. Especially since I have another boy on the way and they will have to share toys.

we dont allow bad language or stupid or any nasty words to put another person down though i will admit my son cant say truck he calls them fucks but this is a speach issue as he has never heard that word in our home and usually he ays it when pointing to a truck or bus, though rather embarrassing when in the post office queue

No racial slurs, no conescending words, no derogatory words for body parts etc, nothing sexist etc. I am VERY particular about what is said aloud in my home.

bellajenna (814.7 days ago)
b/c i dont believe in forcing another language on my kids if they want to learn when they get older that fine but i wont teach them when they are little b/c they have no choice if they want to learn it or not. and yes i know i have thought English but thats the only way i can communicate with them i speak English,Italian,and German but only English around my kids i also dont let them watch dora or deiago they speak Spanish and crazy annoying but dont get me wrong it has nothing to do with race b/c i am adopted by a black guy my niece and nephew are Mexican so its not about that its just about forcing another lang on my kids. O i am with all the moms below but i consider them swear words so i didnt even think to put them lol

nutnut (814.7 days ago)
we dont use the words stupid, jerk, moron, crap, and gay, faggot etc.. i try to keep anything negitive out of the home. the only thing ive heard from neighbor`s kids that i had to correct was them saying `crap` and `stupid` the occassional `jerk` my daughter only says `stupid` frequently and its to the point where if she keeps saying it im going to dock her a quarter from her piggy bank for it.

*Summer Babies* (814.7 days ago)

retart, faggot, and gay. when im around middle school aged kids, this is ALLLLL i hear outta their mouths. and its never used in he right context! sum1 trips a kid. then the kid fights back w ` ur such a faggot!!` or `ur sooo gay!` lol, i was shoppin w my 12 yr old n his friend. i pointed out a shirt n said i liked it for him. his friend goes, `that shirt is gay!`, so i said `that shirt likes other boy shirts??`, n they all thought that was funny. but i was trying to make my point of how they alllways use it incorrectly..i will never let my kids use it like that because i do not want them thinking it is a negative thing or an insult!

rosye13 (814.8 days ago)
I won`t even type them because I think they are so awful, but any sort of `hate` language against people who are different from ourselves whether because of race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. NOT allowed in my house!

Stay@HomeZOOKeepa (814.8 days ago)

  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,.....
