Do you cuss in front of your parents?

If you do, do they even care? Do they cuss with you? And if they do care, what happens when you do accidentally let it slip? I do and they don't really seem to mind since they cuss as well, but in their native language. 

We all cuss. It's natural.

They used to care but now they don't really, I may get scolded for using the f bomb around my mom but other than that they don't really care. My dad swears like no other, especially when the printer doesn't work. 

I actually don't cuss at all. They're actually part of the reason why I don't cuss. You ever see adults with little kids and they're embarrassed because they unintentionally cuss so much around them, but they have such a bad mouth that they just can't seem to control it? Yeah, well... I've never wanted to be like that.

I curse in front of them and we're a laid back family so they don't care.

I don't overuse it, so they don't care. If I watch a football match with my dad, we pretty much curse together. And my mom... phew... I don't understand how my vocabulary got as good as it is.

" We all cuss. It's natural. "

I dont swear myself, I used to when I was a bit younger because I realised that it didn't mean anything (what did was any venom behind it) so I would swear my little head off everywhere but in front of my parents. After a few years I realised I was using swearing as a substitute for thinking about what I was saying, for example I might called something (with swearing removed) "F'ing Stupid" whereas no "Thats a silly idea because..." and actually explain what I am saying. Every now and then, say twice a year, I swear by accident or in a quote but I detest doing that myself for some reason.

It's funny how cursing has survived through all the resistance it has been getting. It's like it's instinct. "

I don't swear in front of either but I think if I did: My dad would probably just go on with the conversation and hardly notice but my mom... She would probably just tilt her head, eye twitching, and a few seconds later: BOOM --> head explodes.

I do and they don't give a shit.

I'm weird I don't cuss in front of anybody, I guess because that's how I was brought up, but if I'm talking to myself I cuss a ton.  I don't get why, it's just what I do.

This should be a forum poll. 
 
No, I don't.   
 
Unless it's important to a story I'm telling.  Like:  "I went up to the store-clerk and said, 'FUCK YOU'!" 
 
or, if I feel that the situation calls for it.  Like:  "FUCK!  I have an anal-fissure!"

Yup. When you stub your toe bad you are not gonna say oh darn or crap! You will be like damn it or shit!!! "

I cuss in front of them, and they cuss with me.  I hold back on the worse ones like fuck, goddamn, and stuff like that though.  They don't mind me saying shit, damn, ass, etc.

I never cuss around my parents.  It's incredibly disrespectful.

I remember when I started cursing in front of my parents, my mom in particular. My mom would say, where did you learn that from, not from around here. 
 
I guess she was oblivious of the fact that my dad cursed every other word. But he rolls like it's not even cursing, he'll say, goddamnmotherfuckin'sombitch under his breath and she acts like he didn't say shit.

For some reason I can't say fuck around my family. Not really sure why since I use plenty of other cuss words around them.

  Off Topic: the No Cussing Club supports this thread:

 

Nope, I use the occasional shit or ass, but never over do it. 
 
Not afraid of getting in trouble or anything, Im a grown ass man, just out of respect.

When I'm at my folks' place I never curse in front of them.
 
They wouldn't have a problem with it but it's really not the thing to do.

My parents taught me enough words that it's not necessary to swear in front of them.
When I choose to do it, it is specifically to communicate my major frustration with something.  We don't use it as normal punctuation.

Yup, I sure do. If you're a kid of a teenager then it's less likely your parents will be cool with it, but since I'm pretty much a man my parents don't mind, and in some situations swear with me. That said though, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be stoked if I started saying "cunt" all the time. It does baffle me a bit how offensive some people find that word.

I dont use like real swear words around them, but I do more often than not use the term 'cock sucker!' when things aren't going too well. Thats about the worst term I use around my parents.

I don't like swearing around them but they sure don't mind swearing around me. They don't really care all that much (they're ex Lebanese Forces) and they're relatively laid back about that and drinking/smoking.

Yeah I always did wonder that. Does it have some super taboo origin or something? "

This is related and hilarious:

It astounds me that the human race is so stupid that they think some words are just inherently "bad".  Words are words, they are what we use to communicate.  Sure, we use words to insult people, but words themselves do not insult people, just like rocks and trees do not insult people.  How silly are we as humans, bleeping out fuck and cunt on tv because ooooooo they are "bad" words.  What a fucking joke.  

Kind of, but not really.

FUCK YES!

Cuss?

I do and they don't care. It's not in a hurtful way at all. They do too, it's no big deal imo. They are just words.

I never swear, as I feel it is an immature way to get shock someone, or just informs people that you're too lazy to think of a better word, so, no, I don't swear around my parents.

Nobody in our family swears a lot.  Sure they are just words, but they can be seen as dis-respectful and offensive depending how you use them.

I swear in front of my parents all the time. My mom sometimes gets really bothered by it and my dad swears way more than I do so it's hard to get used to.

My mom will cuss when she gets mad. My dad never uses cuss words, if he does, its some serious business. Sometimes it'll slip since me and my dad are so cool together, but he doesn't ever say anything.

I cuss, my dad taught me.

Just reading through this thread, Funny shit man. 
And I agree, Words are words, it's the Context and the Inflection that the speaker chooses to use them in.   

BLASHPEME!

This.  Don't need to cuss to make a point. "

A quote from Clarence at Code Monkeys "Even I'm offended, and I just spent the weekend watching 3 men F*ck"

yeah. Usually stay away from the "worse" ones like fuck, but they have no problem with bitch/shit/crap/etc.
