Oh...criminy
I curse too much; I've made that discovery. But is it really that awful compared to the other things I could do? Hmmmm...
I don't want my kids to curse so I try very mightily not to curse around them...even the baby who can't really talk yet. If they hear me, then they think it's okay. BUT...say I don't curse around them and instead of OH, SHIT I say OH, SUGAR. Is that really any better? It's not a curse word but the meaning behind it is the same. But I still don't want my boys going to school and letting out a big, bad word. Because of what they'll think of their parents? Nah, not really.
We spent Saturday at the apple festival in Waynesville, NC, and stayed in my FIL's camper in Asheville, NC. The weather was beautiful, but COLD. The temperature hovered around 55 degrees all day...but we just bundled up and still had fun. They block off Main street for the festival and have vendors from all over show up to sell their wares and, of course, they have tons of apples and apple-made products. Oh, my...the fried apple pies are to die for...I probably put on 5 pounds! :)
Here's a photo from the weekend...Looking Glass Falls, Brevard, NC

I try not to curse around my boys, but it happens from time to time. What I try not to do, though, is replace the words with something different, but use them in the same context, as you kind of say, because I do tend to think it's just an excuse or opportunity or whatever for them to let the curse word slip in. I don't know. I know it's not easy. I wish you luck!
Also, that photo is amazing! What a view to take in!
Great photo!
I tried not to swear in front of my son but it was inevitable that I would sometimes. And because of that, I had to accept there would be times he'd swear to. Kids are just little grown ups at the end of the day, aren't they?
