Do you use the F word around your kids?

Very rarely

Hammer on the thumb, almost t bone someone. Rarely

It was rare when we were kids but once we got closer to 18 we started catching some.

"Hold that F'ing flashlight still!"

I try not to, but those little bastards sometimes get the best of me or land a groin shot and I let one slip in frustration. I was working on construction sites by age 10, so I've perfected cursing into a fine art over the years. My general rule is to not cuss until the other person cusses. Then, it's game on.

I have three kids, their cumulative age is ~100 years.

They have never heard me say a curse word.

My dad or mom never did in front of me, just returning the favor.

Nope. Kids are parrots, so I try not to curse in general.

Also don't want to be hypocritical. Stuff slips from time to time, but I make sure to own up to it so they see that I'm accountable to the same standard I'm holding them to

As my mom has gotten older, she just let's that F Bomb fly like like it's nothing

I try to used minced oaths.

I rarely use that sort of language amongst close friends my own age.

I've heard my Dad say "frick" one time in my 41 years.

It was during Gustav, and a tree fell on my Grandma's house, so we were there helping cut/clean the tree of the house (during the storm).

As were cutting the tree off the house, another tree cuts my Dads truck that was parked in the driveway in half.

He looks at his truck, looks at me, then looks down and just screams "frick!" and we just go back to working on the tree.
