FYI, you can find parent friends who don’t give a shit about cursing! We teach our 4-year-old time and place (reading the situation to know when “crass words” are okay). We curse around her a lot, but so far she only curses when she gets sent backward in Candyland.

There’s a parenting book called My Mother Wears Combat Boots that was really influential for us, and the mom who wrote it dealt with cursing this way.

Enjoyed your piece! Just started following you!
