I don’t censor myself. Well, I probably to to a certain extent, but I swear in front of my kids. They know that there are words that I say that they aren’t allowed to say. At least until they’re much older. I’ve learned that as parents, hypocrisy is a necessity. All of this shit about openness and honesty is great and all, but it is perfectly okay to say or do something and then tell your kids that they are not allowed to do it. Why? Because I fucking said so, that’s why. Kids are becoming soft because parents are becoming far too concerned with making their kids happy. Happy is great. I love my kids, but it is my responsibility to make sure that they are responsible and educated and have the tools to succeed in a very hard and unforgiving world. Otherwise, they will never have a shot at being happy on their own. I don’t believe that cussing in front of them is going to damage them beyond repair when there’s so many other terrifying things we have to worry about nowadays.
