As a child, when did you start cursing or saying things to your friends that you couldn’t say in front of your parents? - eviltoast

I remember freely cursing with friends probably starting at 3rd grade or so. Just curious about everyone else’s experiences or if that was even a thing for some of y’all.

    My mother’s stance was always something like “if you’re going to swear, swear competently.” Also a bit of “recognize the appropriate time and place for swearing. Home with family? Fine. Grandparent’s church? Be nice”

      If my dad had it his way I’d be saying fuck after every other word. But he did teach me some really cool ways to swear. My mother managed to put a lot of it into context for me and told me when it wasn’t right. I have always appreciated her for that
