How do I get my husband to stop cussing around the kids? It really needs to STOP!?

Children's minds are like little sponges and I can't get it through his head how his behaviour is unacceptable. Just because he's the man of the house gives him NO right to feed their minds with such filth. He uses the F word a lot! Sighs...please advise me.How do I get my husband to stop cussing around the kids? It really needs to STOP!?
Talk to him, when the kids are not around. No one should be cursing or even argue in the presence of a kid. If your husband has trouble in controlling his behavior, then have another adult, who respects, talk to him about this. If he loves his kids, I'm sure he will come to his senses.How do I get my husband to stop cussing around the kids? It really needs to STOP!?
The only thing I know that words in controlling another person is to control myself. I was seeing some really negative things about my husband %26amp; I wrote what is called a list of his Positive Aspects. So write down all the things about your husband that are good %26amp; focus on them. I know this sounds mystical %26amp; OK, it is we communicate with others often telepathically. He will feel he is on a higher energy level when he is with you so he will not choose to speak in a lower level way. So what can you write on your list. Even if you are not seeing these things now write it down. For example if he needs a hair cut but when his hair is cut he is cute, then write down he is cute. Do some nice people like him? then write it down, Does he have any talents? Is he a good worker or provider? Write it all down. What did you like about him when you got married? Did he pay attention to you or make you feel special? Write all the good stuff down %26amp; focus on it....write one about yourself too. It will make you feel better. What is good about you? I did this %26amp; it was so funny cause my husband was like one person one day and a different person the next day. I didn't even tell him I did this %26amp; I didn't even write one about myself. So it was amazing to see how it works....take your kids to the side if they are old enough %26amp; tell them that it is not a good thing when he cusses but you want them to know he loves them %26amp; they just have to not pay attention to that part of him %26amp; that you do hope he is going to stop. Often kids will look at something %26amp; make their minds up they are going to be better than the adult who they seeing doing certain things.
My niece's first words were, ';Oh! ****!'; Seriously. It took that to make my sister stop swearing in front of children. Much more comfortable for me in public situations.





A private conversation on the consequences is in order and try to find a lighthearted way to dissuade afterward. Like a swear jar. Fine him a quarter or something, it really illustrates how often he's swearing. I bet he doesn't even notice.
I'm a teen but i know how that is. My four year old sister hears me if it slips out and sometimes the mother if she has an outburst. I've heard my little sister say words of trash in public and its really quite embarrassing. Try to get that into his head that he doesn't want his children growing up thinking its okay cause daddy does it. It's going to get them in lots of trouble plus the way people look at you will differ.
@ Liz- wow, who peed in your cornflakes this morning?





I like the swear jar idea- and I'll be the first one to admit that I can have a ';potty mouth'; when I get angry or I'm around people that cuss a lot. However, I also tell my kids that just because Mom says it does NOT make it OK for them to do it.
Well, you need to give the guy a break. When you're so used to saying it, it really does become second language and it's hard to stop. He doesn't even realize he's cussing when he does it I'm sure.





Btw...there is no such thing as ';man of the house';. And I hope you don't let your husband think so, otherwise I'm sure his ego is huuuuuuge.
You are a stupid, stupid woman. Why in the name of all that is sane would you choose to have kids with him first, then complain about his language? You can't change the way he is. The only thing you can change is to remove your kids from that ';happy home'; so they can grow up in a more stable atmosphere.
