I am trying to get better - but I am just waiting for the day when my kids spout it back at me.

Guilty as charged.  I do swear a lot - but there's a time and a place...and I think I generally heed that.

actually yes, that was part of what made me think about it. i generally try to avoid it on my blog, but i have used curse words on there before for various reasons and i'd be a lot more likely to do it if i password-protected my posts. i am truly a potty mouth irl. you should see me watching a hockey game!

ok, i just realized that might have come across as a criticism of you for doing that, and it totally isn't. i would have said the same thing if i had been writing your post.

I know a few choice words, but I rarely use them...(the taste of soap still lingers in my mouth...thanks Mom!)

I am a potty mouth but I try to control it these days. It's a hard habit to break.

I generally control it (esp depending on setting) and generally say mild things (more darns than damns) but have been know to say the F-word fairly liberally in the past and occasionally if the situation warrants it.

I had to vote for "oh, gracious no!" just because it was a fun answer. And it's also pretty much true for me.

S and I made a concerted effort to eliminate swear words from regular conversation a few years back (in preparation for ttc, if I remember correctly), and now that we are out of the habit we are both shocked if the other one does swear. I am usually pretty good about not swearing-- I don't even have to think about it at this point-- but every now and then one does slip out. I'm also a big substituter (e.g., "sugar!" and for some unknown reason "tomato!").
