Do/did you ever hear your parents curse?

Asked by SuperMouse (30845points) December 14th, 2011

My dad is a pretty tough fellow, but I very rarely heard the old man swear. The worst it ever got was a “son of a bitch” or the odd “god damnit”. To this day I have never heard him say f*ck. On the other hand, my equally tough mother-in-law carpets the room with f-bombs. As a result I really don’t swear much at all and do not like swearing, where for my husband it tends to be a default. What is your experience with your parents cursing and do you think it has had any impact on your use of cuss words?

Bonus question: Parents, do you swear around your children or purposely avoid doing so?

As much lurve as I can give goes to the obligatory “I don’t f-ing swear and neither do my f-ing parents” answer.
