I've always let my kids listen to the same music as me and to be honest a lot of mild swearing goes on around them and they seem to cope fine. This is good and should result in normal, healthy kids and normal, heathly dads. However, swearing is becoming an issue. I nearly gave myself a hernia the other day as Kim Deal was about to tell the lady that 'Olsen fucked them at school' which is not really on for a 6-year old. I can see that. Her old favourite 'kick me out' song by the Arctic Monkeys has long since been 'lost'.
What do you good people think? Give me some moral guidance if you would.

They pick it up no matter what. I was in Ireland over the xmas and drove out to the local village one morning with my nephew, who's aged two and a bit. He pointed at a cow in the field on the way out and shouted "Look! Look! Lelephant!" so I told him it was a cow. On the way back in he pointed at the same cow and shouted "Fucking giraffe" clear as a bell.

junior lark knows when it is acceptable to swear. He goes to football so he's bound to hear it anyway - and certainly will do at school. I don't mind him joining in the "Who's the wanker in the black" song as long as he doesn't use that type of language at home*
If he did I'd fucking 'ave 'im

The lady whispered to me on Boxing Day while at my parents 'Daddy, grandad said the "Bl" word.' I advised Grandad of his error and grandad pronounced loudly 'Bloody hell son, I didn't. I wouldn't swear in front of the kids'

I try to curbe the blue when the kids are around but what does really bug me is the low lifes who when addressing their children in the Town centre start off by shouting "Come here you little fucker" or "Stop fucking doing that". What chance those kids? Garbage in garbage out.

I nipped into york for a few hours between xmas and new year and passed a couple of rough looking girls pushing prams and surrounded by nippers. What a fucking pair I thought to myself, and was just in the process of giving myself a mental ticking off for my snobbishness when one of them screeched come here you little bastard at one of the toddlers.

to be fair to the girl, it was probably an accurate description, strictly speaking
