Re: Swearing in the street - is it an age thing or a class thing?

It's always been around but what else can you expect Young Parents walk around using bad languge and holding their childrens hand at the same time so it's just normal to them.

That is part of the problem, monkey see, monkey do
I am an OLDER parent and my 4 year old holds my hand and never hears swear words lol Up to now, he has only ever to my knowledge swore twice and that was what he learnt from another child.
I do feel sorry for teachers today, Jakes' teacher loves him because he is so old school and that is the way I and his dad were brought up and we have passed our values on to him!

I find it a shame too. Swearing should be reserved for when you really need to vent steam - like when you hit the hammer on your thumb!
