i'm on mister kk's *ss all the time for his 'potty mouth.' but, to be honest, i swear jsut as much as he does. he's just kind enough (or smart enough) not to point that simple fact out to me, especially whiel i'm on his case. of course, i don't want duckie's first few words to be 'mother f*ck*r'... though, they seem to be some of my favorite words indeed.
you have no control over what your daughter says at this age though. it's one of those things 'do as i say, not as i do' and common respect in front of your parents.
my mother's favorite words are also the same as the ones that slip from my tongue in anger, desperation, and general conversation. however, growing up, i was smart enough not to mutter them in front of her :) not until i no longer lived in the same house as her. now, the swearing flows freely between us, as i've realized we are on common ground. at 13 though, no way woudl i try to be so brave! she'd have knocked that braveness out of me with a quickness (hey, not that i'm condoning it! i'm jsut saying she had a heavy fist, you know?)
take care susan. and don't worry about her swearing. as she gets older, it'll be a different story. those words will be saved for appropriate times (like when tripping, slipping, drinking and talking to her husband!!)
