    I’m all for letting kids swear, but only if they do so correctly in a sentence and in the correct context. There’s no reason it should be a big fucking deal.

      You’ve clearly never met a 2 year old. About a month ago I accidentally let a “fuck” slip out of frustration, and just the other day he was walking up the stairs gleefully spouting “fuck, fuck, fuck” at every step.

      i’m so glad this is the norm in most of the nordics, kids swearing is no different than them shouting “TURD” at random, they’re learning how words work.

      Hiding words from them is completely fucking pointless and just results in issues, it’s so much easier to simply correct their usage of words and teaching by example.
