The beautiful mystery of parenting is that neither of us really knows if we're right, and we might not ever.
I'm not saying that my way is the right way. It might be, and I suspect that it is for my daughter, but I don't know you or your family. The premise for my ideology focuses around 2 things:
1) I don't want to be a hypocrite. I curse all the time, and while I'm mindful of my tongue in professional / social interactions, I do use foul language, and
2) I was more worried about banishing expletives making them into a forbidden fruit.
