I just told off h's bff....

[styme46]

They went "hunting" today and when they got back they came over here and have been sitting in our basement drinking beer, watching tv, and playing with the kids. I put the kids to bed almost 40 minutes ago now and have been upstairs watching tv so they can have some more "guy" time.

Except that I kept hearing the bff dropping f bombs all over the place. So I just went down there and said "Why are there so many f bombs going off down here so loudly? I have a 10 year old trying to go to sleep in the room down the hall. Stop dropping f bombs. Or if you're going to drop them, be quiet about it."

He must have gotten the hint since he just left.

Oops. I'm such an old.

[trafficgirl]

I probably would have done the same thing.

Does the BFF have kids? Or was he just drink and letting f bombs fly because of it?

Couldn't you have just nicely asked them to quiet down and watch the language?

Eff that.  They've had enough fun.  Its late.  Time to GTF home.

"Go home."

I guess I'm old and crotchety. I don't like people cussing around me and certainly not in my house and I don't have kids yet.

FWIW: I've always thought overusing cuss words shows a lack of imagination in how you speak.

He has 2 kids in between our kids ages....so his kids are 8 and 3 and ours are 10 and 2.

He cusses a bit normally, but not usually this bad. I think it was a combination of the beer and he thought that since she was in bed, he was fine. But her room is about 20 feet from where they were so I'm pretty sure that if *I* could hear him upstairs with the tv on, she definitely heard him.

Why "hunting"? I feel like there is a good story behind the quotes. heh

No story...I use the term loosely because they really just go drive around in the middle of nowhere. There is no actual hunting going on.

Don't worry, granny. I won't ever curse in your house. I'll stick to insults like cottonheaded ninny mudgins and exclamations of woe like cheese and rice. Thine auditory receptors will remain unsullied.

I feel like I need to clarify that I don't care that he was dropping the f bomb, it was the volume with which he was doing so.

Your reluctance to even type out fuck suggests otherwise. My dad sometimes had friends over after I was "asleep" my bedroom was off the living room. They would cuss, watch drug movies, and generally do things my mom disapproved of. Yes, I could hear all of it. But my dad was happy, and it always seemed like kind of a treat to hear him with his friends. Some profanity from adults having a good time occasionally won't hurt anything. It really won't.

[youhadmycuriosity]

On a side note, my dad and his friend hung out at our house maybe twice a year when I was growing up, and I heard so many "Kurwa!" And "pendecho!"s being thrown around. I turned out ok. Not that I disagree with you being annoyed and asking them to quiet down, this just brought me back to a fond memory lol. I learned the word for "fuck" in so many languages.

I've typed out fuck plenty of times...as recently as Wednesday when I was bitching about getting ds's cold because of the fucking daycare germs. My kids are no strangers to profanity, even from me. Like I said, it was the volume that was irritating me.

[Saint Monica]

You fucking suck ballz at telling people off.

[iamgrace]

Meh. I called out my H for saying "fucking" on Saturday within earshot of the kids because we "don't use those words (any more)".

I'm going to be a horrible parent. I still have at least a year before I have to watch my language, right? Someone just say yes.

Yes, you've got some time

I used to have the mouth of a sailor. It's amazing, I can still turn it right back on when the kids aren't around and I've had a few drinks

I fucking hate the "swearing shows a lack of imagination" argument. It's patently false, and in itself shows a profound lack of imagination. Swearing has its place in the English language. To insist otherwise is almost hilariously dumb.

I tell my kid on a daily basis not to say fuck after it has come out of my mouth.

It's bad when my kid tells me "Mommy, that's a bad word. Don't say that."
