I guess I'm fairly liberal with swear words...
With TV though, we dont watch it (well sometimes I cheat and watch Passions) but we dont watch TV with Karma at all. Unfortunately she watches it at her dads and it has upset me greatly. My reasoning for no TV is not the vulgarity of the programming but rather the more they watch TV the less they move... so I dont want Karma to be a couch potato at 12 and obese.
When it comes to swear words either IRL or on the radio, I dont really even mention them. I dont tell her not to use them, and when she does use them (like once she said to me, "I need to clean this sh** up!" in reference to the toys on her floor) I didnt say a thing. Now she did repeat a word as a young child, I cant remember anymore which one it was, but she was saying it over and over and I told her to stop. She got mad at me and said "it's just a word" and I countered "well any word that you say over and over is annoying and if you're not going to use it in a sentence properly, dont use it". Last time she said those words randomly over and over
or any other word for that matter. And I've also let her know that her teachers might not approve of those words when she first learned them. Overall I rarely swear and niether does anyone in my family, so she rarely uses those words, but when she does, they fit appropriately in the sentence.
Now, Course I wouldnt put Bob and Tom on the radio for her, but I wouldnt listen to it alone either! We're public radio folks over here
