Me and hubby swear a f*** load. We can't help it, as we work in male centric environment that's full of aggression. Baby spends alot of time "accompanying" us for weekends or when we are multi-tasking work while taking care of bub. What's the chances her first few words will be swear words?

I once met a mum who dropped the ‘F’ bomb very casually, as if it is a part of normal speech when her six year old son is around. I inquired if she was not worried that her child will pick up on the bad language and think it is okay to swear as well. This mum firmly told me swearing is how she expresses herself and it is simply the way she speaks, she does not want to put on an image for her son and not be herself in the process. Interestingly though, her son is well aware of what ‘bad’ words are and does not repeat any of the swear words used by his mother.
