As long as it's not being used at them.

I don't censor myself and I didn't make my children censor themselves. My rule has always been that we don't use our words as weapons.

I try to avoid it, but occasionally have my streaks. As I've explained it to our son, "Daddy was a Sailor, but mama speaks the language."

Do not get the idea of swear words. My daughter knows when to use them and not but I have a hard time telling her not to use swear words at all because I consider swear words just words. I personally do not like calling people names or bully others. This is something that I do make a big deal about. She is aware that if she says certain words in school she will get in trouble. It is just part of the rules like not wear hoodies and such.

Yup.

I really don't care. They're gonna hear it anyway. The only time I mind my swearing is when I have to be professional.

I try to watch my swearing around children, and around women I don't know; just my upbringing. Not always successful.

Teach them to be honest and duly cynical. Inevitably a proper mastery of profanity will be useful to them .

Depends; profanity has several definitions. Saying in front of a child that there is no god is an example of one definition of profanity. Saying son, don't go grabbing girls by the pussy is another definition.

We are role models for our children.

Do you want your child to offend people? Get fired for swearing at customer or his/her boss?

Teach children good manners instead.

I think it is fine to use language in front of your own children. Children to me are able to understand the difference of when and how to use language. I am not naive to think that they don't swear with friends, but they know not to use it in improper situations. I don't use language around other kids though because I am not explaining things to them.

Conditionally I would say yes. Words and gestures are tools we use to communicate. Why limit a person's set of tools? On a side note, I do not swear unless something profoundly horrible has happened.

I tried to wait until mine were older. 12 and up, say.
